Emotional Balance

Can fear be your ally, a good thing? Is there ever a time we can say "thank you" to fear? I didn't used to think so and here's what I learned when I reflected...

Tips for Handling Challenging Situations

1.  Acknowledge your situation (Sometimes it’s easier to stay in denial when facing a difficult situation)

2. Do an Aroma Reset on your situation to help you with these simple steps:

Do you experience crying spells for no apparent reason? Feelings of anger but you stuff it down and keep going. Panic attacks and nightmares? What’s happening and why? More importantly, how can you be free from that cycle?

I felt worn out and exhausted. Every day was a struggle. I went to bed early and woke up late and was still tired. Medical tests came back clear, so there was no physical cause for my extreme exhaustion. Can you relate?

It was a turning point in my life. Here are three things that began my journey to turn it around and helped me the most.

Do you sometimes feel overwhelmed, numb, depleted maybe even deep sadness and grief? Is feeling anxious, panicked, worried part of your daily life? Do you have digestive issues, shallow breathing, immune system issues? Maybe you often feel sluggish or chronically tired despite sleeping long hours? Do you feel so wired up and stuck in constant “busyness” running here and there, always doing, never a break in the day. Are you always doing for others until you’re exhausted and still feeling like you’re not enough? 

Do you have goals? Are they big goals? Small goals? Or are you wondering what the point is of goals in the first place? Things are so crazy that maybe you’re just trying to survive! Here's some goal setting tips to motivate you and level up your enthusiasm!

Life in this system with this level of stress on a daily basis is rough. Yet we humans are resilient, can often not only survive but thrive. Sometimes we don’t hear our amazing nervous system sounding the alarm until it’s elevated to a very loud level. Even then we may not know what to do in response to the alarm, we have no plan. I can help you get your toolbox prepared so when your amazing nervous system sounds an alert you hear it at a lower level AND you know what to do in response to the alert. 

Are we prisoners of our past or do we have a choice? I offer you these thoughts to ponder, to help you in your healing journey along with several tools for you.

Do you know wounded people? This picture is my neurotic cat who had suffered all her life. Although she had lived safely with me shortly after her birth and was even bottle fed, something—whether events in her first few days of life or the trauma of previous generations—was stuck in her terrified little body. Sometimes people get locked in fear, always stuck on high alert, sometimes completely shut down. 

You’ve heard the term “swallow your feelings” and this is an actual physical response. Very often people who “swallow their feelings” wind up with digestive and gut issues. Do you experience odd aches and pains with no physical cause? Do you react more strongly than expected to seemingly mild situations? Are you tired and worn for no logical or physical reason? I can relate and here's something to consider

Caretaking vs caregiving. Is there a difference? Why does it matter? About 30 years ago, I was talking to a friend about how exhausted I was from taking care of several situations. None of them were really my situations, yet I felt as if I owned them, that they were mine to bear. Have you ever felt that way too?

Have you ever had a song activate a memory? Do certain times of the year remind you of loved ones you’ve lost? Maybe a place, like the beach, reminds you of something or someone, or maybe a certain aroma does. These memories may be welcome, or they may take us by surprise, striking suddenly. Without expecting it, they may bring us back to another place and time.
