How are you TENDING to yourself?

Emotionally? Physically? Spiritually?

Why is it so hard for many of us to take proper care of ourselves? We can become blocked or drained for many reasons, including stress and exhaustion. We can also carry past criticism, assumptions and beliefs in our bodies. These blockages can manifest in many ways, including physical pain, tightness, mental fog, circular thinking, numbness, or a frustrating sense that something is there but we cannot grasp it.

When we are blocked, the pressure builds and we need to release it in some way: physically (like running, dancing, or having body work), mentally (like journaling or talking about it), or spiritually (like energy work or spending time in nature with horses). Blockages within our bodies didn’t just arrive today…they are a problem that has most likely been around for a good portion of our life. When we listen closely, our bodies will let us know how to properly nourish and care for ourselves.

I recently felt called to have bodywork with a different massage therapist. I procrastinated on making this change because I felt like I was breaking up with my current massage therapist. My body was SO happy with the change. I released physical and emotional stuff that has been stuck in my body for a very long time. I know there are more releases to come, and I feel an unwinding transpiring that has been patiently waiting in the wings. All because I listened to my intuition.

How are you tending to yourself? To tend is to nourish. To nourish is to grow. To grow is to connect. And, to inter-connect is to thrive. I would love for you to tend to yourself by joining the herd at one of our upcoming events.

Much love and happy summer!
