Here's why resistance shows up right before things shift
|
Hi Reader, Have you ever wanted something deeply… and still found yourself hesitating or pulling back? You know what you want, you feel mentally ready, but then something inside you slows things down. We usually call that self-sabotage. But what if we look at it differently so that we can actually accomplish the things that we want. I wrote a new blog post exploring the difference between self-sabotage and protection and why your nervous system might just be doing its job when you hesitate or pull back. If you’ve ever felt frustrated with yourself for not moving faster or wondered why resistance shows up right before things shift, I think this will resonate. You can click this link to read the new post here: https://mindbodyandbreath.com/self-sabotage-or-protection/ If you notice yourself in this, feel free to reply and share what came up for you. To your next shift, P.S. This is the kind of thing we slow down and explore inside The Embodied Shift Method — noticing when your system pulls back, understanding why, and learning how to move forward in a way that feels supportive instead of forceful.

When I try to force it ahead of time just to stay “consistent,” it starts to feel less real. Less connected. And last week, I was in the salon a lot. New salon...
Hi Reader, I wanted to pop into your inbox a little differently this week. Normally I’m sharing a weekly blog post, but this is the week I'm in the salon. I have barely opened laptop because my energy has been focused on hair, conversations in the chair, and being fully present there. So this is me giving myself permission to not do all the things all the time — and to not beat myself up for it because I’m human. And right now, this is where my energy is meant to be. There will be a blog post...
Hi Reader, Do you ever wake up and feel like your mind is already running ahead of you?Last week, this came up more than once in client conversations and I knew I needed to share it with you too. I wrote a blog post about this practice because it's supportive, especially from a nervous system and subconscious perspective. I share why it works, how I suggest doing it in a way that feels gentle and doable, and what to expect when resistance shows up because let's be real, sometimes it does. If...
