How many of you have felt frustrated, overwhelmed, stressed out, empty or unfulfilled? Many hardworking women feel this way, whether you work in corporate America, own your own business, or are a stay at home mom, it is easy to fall into the trap of trying to be everything for everyone. As women we have been programmed to be “people pleasers” and we rarely have time to take care of ourselves. It’s like we go through our days sleepwalking through life. We are so busy DOING, that we don’t know how to feel. When we do get time to rest, we are so exhausted that we feel NUMB.
On top of all the mental stress and anxiety, you find it hard getting “in the mood” for intimacy! Your partner wants to connect with you, and you just don’t feel up to it. You could live without sex, it’s not really that important to you.
BUT…What if connecting with your body was the answer? What if your partner nudging you to engage in physical intimacy was the exact medicine you needed?
When we are exhausted, our bodies are trying to tell us something, but most of the time we don’t listen. It is important to know there is magic and wisdom here, but many of us are too afraid to see it. We want our partners to connect with us emotionally, our partners want us to connect with them physically. God made us both to support each other on the journey. What if, being in your body was the key to transforming your life?
What if…
you no longer felt numb, you felt alive.
you no longer felt pain, you felt pleasure.
you no longer felt empty, you felt fulfilled.
We can all do this by rewiring the programming of our brain so that we can better connect with our bodies as opposed to fight with them. The first step is acknowledging where we are in our mindset journey. Then, we can begin the process of surrender. This is a process where we are not DOING, but rather FEELING and BEING. If it feels uncomfortable, THAT IS OK! In fact, that is GREAT! You know why? Because you are listening to your body and feeling something uncomfortable. You don’t know how something feels unless you DO IT! There is magic and wisdom in every step of the way.
Just imagine what your life could be like if you made the decision to commit to loving and connecting with your body on a regular basis? There are a variety of different embodiment practices here at The Freedom Key’s that can help you to connect with your body in a healthy and safe way, but the very first step is to acknowledge how your body is feeling without judging it. This is a critical part in the process. It might not seem like a fun, however your body is providing insights on how to listen all the time. It is ok to feel uncomfortable and step outside of your comfort zone. That is the BEST time to take yourself to a new level of growth. If it was easy, we would ALL be doing it right? It’s one thing to say you want to do something, but it’s another to make the choice to commit to something.
Let’s compare this to another life example…
When someone starts to lift weights, do you think it’s easy and comfortable right away? HECK NO! But you test out the weight and see what feels comfortable to you. Is it too heavy, too light or just right? Maybe you need to adjust your stance a little. Maybe you just need to practice a few more times to see how it feels. If you just ignore your body, you will get the same results you are currently getting. Sound familiar?
