💯

This week, I was spiraling.
My brain going crazy, reminding me of…

All the things I'm not doing.
All the ways I'm not measuring up.
All the strategies I'm not implementing.

Not smart enough.
Not optimizing enough.
Not dancing and performing enough for the algorithm, like I'm some kind of gladiator in the arena. “Are you not entertained?!”😂 (Oh, we feel you, Maximus!)

The scarcity thoughts were relentless.
The stress was rising in my body… temples tight, jaw clenched, shoulders up around my ears.

I went to the woods to walk it off.
And the walking soothed it a bit, as movement is how I best process thoughts and emotions.
But I still couldn't shake it.

So I did what I always do when I need to come back to myself:

I GROUNDED MYSELF.
I laid down in the snow and let myself sink and be supported.
Fully and completely.
As much of my body in contact with the earth as physically possible.
Eyes closed.
Breathing in the scent of snow and fallen leaves.

And the effect was immediate.

My body softened.
My heart rate slowed.
My clenched jaw released.
My relentless brain chatter went quiet.

Right there, lying on the cold, snowy December ground, I remembered who I am.

Fearfully and wonderfully made.
Seen. Known. Beloved.
Worthy.
Enough.

The hot tears froze as they ran down my cheeks.
I stood up slowly, transformed, grounded in truth.

Here's what I want you to know:

When the “should's” start spiraling…
When you feel like you're not doing enough, not being enough…

What if you don't need another strategy?
What if you just need to slow down?

What if you don't need to optimize?
What if you just need to ground?

What if you don't need to perform?
What if you just need to be?

Sometimes you just need to get low enough and quiet enough - physically, literally - to hear that whisper:
You are enough.

What grounds you when the spinning won't stop?
