Anxiety is a Beast: Tips to manage
This week, I had a little getaway planned with a group retreat. Sounds lovely, yeah?
Well, there was a snowstorm a few days before leaving. I only knew two of the 40 people going. I also had to put a lot of work on pause.
This combination created it’s own little perfect storm. Driving anxiety, social anxiety, and workaholic guilt all collided in my nervous system.
As many of us do, I wrestle with angst. Throughout my life, I have worked very hard to build tools to manage it that I want to share with you here.
Embrace Easy Self-Care this Month
Whenever someone would set a boundary or ask for a need around my dearly departed friend Ali Mitchell, he’d respond,”Self Care is Sexy!”.
It was his simple act of defiance against the programming that say our needs make us needy.
I’m no astrologer, but with Mercury going retrograde during the last chunk of Venus Retrograde while we switch into Virgo, it’s clear we will want to be extra kind to ourselves for the rest of the month.
Self-Care is Sexy
“What desire do you have to ask for a need that you’re shy about?”
A lot of us struggle to ask for what we want. And yet, it’s sometimes the only way to get it . . . or find out that other’s cannot provide it.
Were you raised with the idea that focusing on your needs is selfish? How can you break free of that untrue belief?
Consider how grateful you are when a loved one sweetly requests what they would like to receive. It’s so much easier than guessing.
We may even be honored to know that we are able to provide for someone. (Or, of course we can happily say ‘No’ if that’s outside our own desires).
This week, take a leap and ask for what you want.
A Tarot Activity for Winter Focus
It’s easy to let winter be a droll time, and this year is extra hard with covid risks keeping us at more of a distance from seasonal house gatherings. This is that essential moment to remember what we may romanticize about winter in the middle of a busy summer.
Cleanse Your Deck and Yourself
You are sovereign ruler over your aura or spiritual body, and giving it attention supports the physical and mental immensely. If you read cards casually or professionally, caring for yourself as a channel includes clearing the tendrils that attach to your oracle and tarot decks.
Energetic Self-Care is Essential
Energetic self-care is honoring that we have fields of subtle vibrational experience that deserve attention. Our emotional, physical, and energetic bodies are intertwined. When we acknowledge the energetic body with a practice, we serve the emotional and physical as well.
