Healing is "work" too

This time last year I was one month into my yoga business and had just begun my spiritual life coaching business. ⁣
⁣
I remember feeling defeated. I was doing “𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘺𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘳𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵,” — posting and sharing content, “𝘩𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨,” but it wasn’t flowing the way I wanted to. ⁣
⁣
I was wrapping up my journalism degree thinking — 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘨𝘰 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬? 𝘚𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘐 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘦𝘥𝘪𝘵 𝘮𝘺 𝘳𝘦𝘴𝘶𝘮𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦 𝘭𝘰𝘤𝘢𝘭 𝘯𝘦𝘸𝘴𝘱𝘢𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴? I knew I had the experience needed but wasn’t sure if I’d have a competitive edge anymore considering It⁣ had been six months since getting in my accident and quitting my journalism job.⁣

I knew I had the experience needed but wasn’t sure if I’d have a competitive edge anymore considering It⁣ had been six months since getting in my accident and quitting my journalism job.⁣

As I looked back at the six months I had spent deep, deep into my own healing, working a retail job I actually loved just to pay my bills, doing my yoga teacher training, in therapy and basically in a cocoon of self-love and spiritual personal development I thought for a moment 𝘪𝘵 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘢 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘩, I had wasted my time. ⁣
⁣
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘥𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨? My type A personality said to myself. 𝘠𝘰𝘶’𝘷𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘪𝘵’𝘴 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘪𝘵𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶. ⁣
⁣
I decided to drop everything, cancel all of my plans for the night and do a past life regression meditation I found on YouTube. I don’t normally just throw myself into hypnosis from strangers on YouTube, but my inuition was a “𝘩𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘺𝘦𝘴” for Joe T Hypnotic Labs so I pressed play. ⁣
⁣
I remember imagining myself as an old, old Native American man sitting in a shed preparing a fishing poll. I was alone besides a wolf standing next to me. I closed my eyes and heard the words, “you’re here to heal and grow through healing and growing others.”
⁣
That was all I needed. ⁣
⁣
I looked back on those 6 months this time with pride, finally understanding this — The Healing Journey is “work”” too. Filling your calendar with self-care is “hustling” too. Meditating is “productive”” too. ⁣

⁣In that 6 month hiatus of the Journey to the Self,  I did not start a Fortune 500 Company, write a New York Times Best Seller or lead a yoga teacher training in Bali.⁣
​

But, I started the long awaited journey back home to my self, a journey I will never forget, a journey so tumultuous, somber, exciting, and never-ending, the journey called 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨. ⁣

When your spirit is calling you to pause, stop, or reevaluate — go within. ⁣
⁣And remember, the journey back to The Self takes massive courage love, but it is the key to your destiny, it’s the roadmap back home. ⁣
