Nearly every coaching session I have had this week has naturally gravitated toward the topic of Election Day anxiety. People are feeling grim about a potential loss, the very close numbers and I can relate to that.. what we thought could be a landslide has been a nail biter. I was on the phone with one client talking about how rattled everyone is and what they can be doing to take care of themselves at this strange, stressful and uncertain time. As we brainstormed together and played out scenarios the reality rose to the surface. No matter the outcome of the election there is going to be plenty of work to do moving forward. That no matter who is in the White House - a lot of things are out of balance and incredibly out dated. That our country needs work and none of us can afford to be passive about that any longer. Then they said the most wonderful thing. They said “I am an engaged person. I want to stay engaged and I want to feel good while I do it.” Instantly my brain was like “THIS!” This is why I want to do this kind of work with people. Because our health doesn’t just effect our the beautiful little bubbles we personally exist in - our bodies. It effects our ability to show up. For ourselves, our circles, the community, our dreams… everything. Their words gave me a rush of gratitude and I felt totally honored that they choose to work with me. So yeah, no matter what happens with the election the sun is going to come up again and we will all need the energy, the courage, the emotional and physical strength to move forward. Nothing happens if nothing moves. It’s time to move. Every-body needs to take care so we can stay engaged and feel good while we do it. If you have not hit me up for a consultation - now is the time. Let’s work together. Let’s make things move!
