Do You Really Want to Heal? The answer may surprise you…

I bet that if you’ve been experiencing chronic exhaustion for some time you’d really like something to change?

The thing is… Are YOU ready to change?

We cannot expect anything to be different if we don’t allow ourselves to release what is creating the exhaustion and to make space for the new that we want to receive.

Humans are naturally attracted towards that which will bring the least pain so we tend to often stay stuck in what we don’t like because we’re afraid of the changes that may need to happen to experience that which we really desire (or we just do not know how to receive what we desire).

Perhaps it feels safe to have fatigue (e.g. it stops us from putting ourselves out there and shining bright which could result in rejection and abandonment). Often we can convince ourselves that safe feels good. But what about letting go of good to make way for GREAT?

In nature the cycles of life and death are completely normal and there is no resistance. There is the innate knowledge that one is necessary for the other. We have to have death to have re-birth just as we need night to have day. We also need to rest to have energy. We cannot just have energy without any conscious choices to rest, make some changes and adapt what is not working.

And often some supplements and a diet change are not going to be enough. This is the case when are some deeper, underlying root changes that need to happen.

I know how scary it can be….especially when you’ve been battling with chronic fatigue for a very long time. For one thing, it can be scary to even hope that change is possible. But when you can find the courage to release the old patterns, the old belief systems, the old behaviours, THAT’s when the magic happens.

That is when you start to receive everything you need for balance, health and vitality. Your body wants to be in balance and to receive the health that is your birth right. You just need to know how to let go of the possible unconscious ways you prevent yourself from receiving this.

When you release it creates a vacuum to receive. When you allow the dying it creates the conditions for birthing what you really want. That is why I ensured that I created a stage in my coaching programme to focus on receiving, following the phase of releasing what is in the way of that happening.

A really great way to practice receiving is to acknowledge the ways you have received in your life every day. Just this morning I used the gratitude practice – thinking of all I have to be grateful for in my life, and when I got up for the day and turned on my phone I saw I had an invitation to be a speaker – something I have been aspiring to do more!

Is it possible that the time has come for you to receive the greatness that is your birth right?

Is it possible that your battle with fatigue is the way your body is pushing you to open up to receive something more? Something greater?

What do you need to let go of to make space to receive?

I used to struggle deeply with holding space for clients. I would quickly become exhausted, and it felt incredibly frustrating. The thing I loved most—supporting others—was actually burning me out. Over the years listening to what was depleting me and what was nourishing me helped but I was tired of not being able to do so many of the things I enjoyed because it was too much for me. I had to also learn to make some fundamental shifts in my identity and my nervous system to be able to turn what was depleting me into something that was nourishing me instead, and to have the capacity to hold it all. Two weeks ago I hosted my first ever 3 night retreat. I had held space for women for up to a full day but never longer than that. I was concerned that I'd be exhausted afterwards. Instead, I came away buzzing with energy that lasted for days. No crash—just a full, bursting heart and a sense of spacious ease in my nervous system. It felt like I had been the one attending the retreat, not just hosting it! Here's what has changed to make this possible: 1) I no longer try to rescue people. I used to believe I had to do the work for them. Since I was a child I felt what people felt and I took on the emotions of others (many of you will likely have experienced the same as I find most of my clients with chronic fatigue and burnout are highly sensitive individuals). I took on the protector/rescuer role from a young age. This is often an unconscious trauma adaptation. After all, if the people around us are safe then we are safe so if we can protect and rescue them them it helps them and helps us (all done unconsciously of course). My chronic fatigue and burnout taught me two crucial lessons: if I’m not okay first, I can’t truly help anyone; and that I'm safe, supported and empowered. This helped me see my clients not as people needing saving or carrying, but as amazing, empowered individuals who rather need someone to walk alongside them on the path while seeing them in the fulness of their light. Serving from this place feels completely different—lighter and more authentic. 2) I shifted my identity, as above —from victim to empowered—and also released the belief that my worth depended on how much I helped or avoided upsetting others. 3) I adopted nervous system practices that make me more resilient and less overwhelmed by life’s demands, all the sensory input and everyone's needs. My nervous system more quickly returns to a rested space where I can receive vitality and nourish myself. 4) My spiritual relationship has deepened so that I no longer hold a belief that I am self-reliant and alone but, rather, deeply connected to a bigger, unfolding matrix that nourishes, guides and protects me. 5) I keep a toolbox of tools and techniques to calm my nervous system, connect to my body, and receive spiritual support. The sacred ritual of these daily habits sets me up to feel held and at ease. I don't always get this right. I am neurodivergent with a particularly neurospicy family and life can be crazy at times. While I manage to hold space for clients from a far more rooted and regulated place it's not always the case in my home and family life! But, damn, it's so much better than it was and I feel far more empowered. I'm so grateful for that.
