Is your year starting off slower than you thought it would?….Don’t worry.

Is your year starting off slower than you thought it would?….Don’t worry.

 

My start to the year has been all about planning and getting married (woohoo!), in the sense that the first two months flew by and it only feels now in March that my feet are touching the ground and that I can bring more focus and energy to my days. Before this I didn’t have much capacity for anything else.

 

I wanted to share this with you because I feel so many of us get pulled into the trap of thinking the new year has to start off with a bang. That you should come back from your holiday period knowing exactly what you want for the year ahead and already actioning all the new habits and changes that are going to help you get there.

 

If this is you then that’s wonderful, embrace this energy and let it lead you towards the opportunities that are available to you. If not, know this is also great and perfectly normal –

 

You don’t need to be feeling or acting any differently just because it’s the start of the year.  

 

I’m a huge believer in living your life in alignment with what’s most important to you whilst understanding that we all experience different seasons of change – some where we are full of motivation, energy and inspiration, and others where we feel insular, reflective, and move at a slower pace.

Rather than beating yourself up for not having the motivation or energy to make ‘big’ changes at the moment, learn to meet yourself where you’re at. Learn to embrace the slower seasons in your life by listening to your body’s needs, and to tending to what’s been asked of you at this time. Knowing that this is more than enough.

 

Remember, even when it feels ‘busy’ around you, it’s ok to honour the slower moments and movements you’re desiring, because change and growth is always available to you when you’re ready.

 

 

So that’s my invitation for you this month – What does embracing your slower seasons look like this year?

  • Where are you finding yourself wanting moments of stillness or to move at a slower pace?
  • What’s the smallest, most realistic, way you can honour this (alongside your current commitments) during this time?

 

With love,

Warm words for your Sunday 💛 There is no finish line to cross, no peak to put your flag on, no A+ to strive for in life - all that's required is that you show up for yourself and consistently choose what aligns with what you value and deem most important, and know that this journey looks and feels different for everyone.

If you’re feeling down, having a day where you’re struggling with self-doubt and criticism, or feeling mentally exhausted, one of the most nourishing things you can do for yourself is to give yourself a facial massage. This practice activates your social engagement system, which is key in bringing a sense of compassion and connection within your body, and aids in shifting more of those 'heavy' emotions that can get stuck. Growing up we might not have been taught how to self-soothe and regulate when experiencing strong emotions, or how to SHOW our body that it’s ok to relax. This somatic practice is a wonderful place to start 💛 Use gentle pressure and stay with each position as long as you feel is needed, or at least for 5 cycles of breath. When you’re ready to bring the practice to a close, allow yourself to sit with any sensations and shifts that arise before moving on - this helps you nervous system integrate and benefit from the experience.

When you’ve gone through a heightened experience, where maybe you’ve felt stressed, worked up, anxious, panicky, or as I like to put it ‘Frazzled’; you’ll notice there’s a lot of energy in your body and it can feel as though your emotions are stuck with nowhere to go.   What’s going on internally in these moments, is that you’ve shifted into the seat of your activated sympathetic nervous system, and your body is focused on taking action to get you out of perceived danger. Even if it’s well passed.   Part of befriending your body and nervous system is showing, not telling yourself, that you are now safe. Here I share what that looks like when working with your sympathetic stress responses and some simple practices you try.   Explore how this feels for you and let me know what worked well.   With love, Sarah x   #nervoussystemregulation #lifecoaching #somaticpractitioner #consciousliving #wellness #lifecoachnz #polyvagaltheory #findinghomewithin #befriendingyourbody #emotionalresilience #livelifewell

Musing for your Monday. When we think about our life to date, every experience we’ve gone through, every feeling, thought, sensation…all of it has been housed in our bodies. When we tune in, and give our body time and space to communicate with us, we tap into so much wisdom and knowledge. Knowledge that can guide us back to our own sense of safety, worth, joy, comfort, ease… So my invitation for you is - How can you make more space this week to tune into your body? How might it be trying to share its wisdom with you? Sarah x #lifecoachnz #somatics #bodywisdom #wellness #consciousliving #lifecoaching #polyvagaltheory #embodiment #livelifewell

Between floods, the cyclone, and quakes you may be noticing that you’re feeling sluggish or shut down, or that you don’t have the mental or emotional capacity to manage everything at the moment. This feeling is completely normal, and is a way your nervous system kicks into gear to conserve energy and keep you ‘safe’. Here I share what’s going on in your nervous system when you feel this way, and some practices that can support you in moments where you feel yourself shutting down. 👉 Note: With each practice focus on even breaths in and out, and repeat at least 5 times or until you feel yourself drop into your body and your surroundings. Have a play and let me know how they go for you! 👉Also if you’re feeling called to learn more about your nervous system, and how Polyvagal and Somatic Therapy can support you – I’d love to chat Take good care of yourself this weekend, Sarah xx #nervoussystemregulation #polyvaglatheory #somatichealing #lifecoachnz #consciousliving #wellness #practices #lifecoaching #livelifewell
