My body was screaming at me. But I kept on tuning everything it was tell me…out. You know that feeling when your anxiety is through the roof? Your shoulders are super heavy each day. You feel like the weight of the world on them. That was me. Every. Single. Day.
My heart would race faster than when I overdosed myself on coffee when I tried becoming a coffee drinker. My thoughts? Pure chaos. But did I listen? Nope. Of course not. If I did, then I would have to take a deep look inside myself.
Honestly, I think I was scared what I was going to find!
It took a cancer scare to finally get my attention. Nothing like a medical wake-up call to make you realize maybe – just maybe – your body knows what it’s talking about. So I did something crazy. I actually listened. Wild concept, right?
First step? Fired my doctor. (Okay, technically I just found a new one. But “fired” sounds more dramatic. 😜) Turns out my thyroid medication was WAY too high that my body was confused on whether I had hypo or hyper-throidism. Oh…and my hormones …well, they were having their own little rave party…and to top it off, I was doing such a horrible job at managing my stress that my blood pressure was dangerously high. (Watching true crime videos and shows apparently wasn’t considered relaxing downtime. Who knew!?!? 🤣) No wonder I felt like I was losing it.
Here’s the thing that blew my mind: The moment I started paying attention to what my body was telling me, everything changed.
My anxiety started to drop and my energy began leveling out. And for the first time in forever, I felt… normal.
Is this what everyone on social media feels like? Normal? Is that why they have the perfect business and life?
🤣 HAHAHAHHAHA! Hell no! 🤣
It got me thinking about how often we ignore the obvious signals in our lives and business. We push through when we should pause. We hustle when we should rest.
https://jeanetteortegaconsulting.thrivecart.com/strategy-intensive/That’s exactly why I created the Life & Business Alignment Harmony Strategy Intensive.
