We speak on our experiences with noticing the shift in our thought processes and initial responses to situations that may unfold in our day to day life. Situations that consists of decision making, problem solving and interactions with friends and family.✨
Maddie talks about how uncomfortable she felt after quantum leaping into the life she has always desired but still had her old thought process and self talk chiming in to keep her “safe” and comfortable. We express the importance of knowing that growth is uncomfortable and feels like you are quite literally shredding old skin. Shredding the old and stepping into your new found self. 🦋
Listen along as we speak about some interactions we have experienced in the short time we have been working in a wellness centre. We talk about our interactions with everyday people and experiencing the highs and lows they bring into the centre with them. 🦋
We create conversation around why we may be able to feel someone else moods, and how it could impact us if you don’t implement boundaries. We mention tools you can implement into your interactions with people who may be experiencing low mood or anxiety, in order to have a positive influence on that person or simply to not let their energy way on you. 🌻
The problem with decision-making when we feel down is that low mood gives us the urge to do things that we know will keep us stuck. Continuing on in the low mood cycle and feeding into the tasks we know won’t fix or help the situation. 💫
During these moment we struggle to do the basics like fuelling our bodies with a good amount of sleep, nutrition & exercise. But things that we know could help feel overwhelming. So a good decision is one that moves you in the direction you want to go. Remembering it doesn't have to catapult you there. 🤍
Low mood wants you to do nothing. Therefore, doing anything positive, however small, is a healthy step in the direction you want to go. Don’t let perfectionism rear it’s head. 🌻
