What is the new normal?
Isn’t that the ultimate question these days?
As parents, teachers, and students are wrapping their heads around heading back to school in a couple of weeks, and we’re seeing a slight uptick in Covid cases on the island we’re all wondering… what’s next?
Is this how it’s always going to be?
Maybe. **Shrugs**
Truthfully, no one really knows and that can be a challenging reality to deal with. But focusing on what you don’t know and wondering about how things might be can be really upsetting.
Whenever I’m feeling overwhelmed and find myself with more questions than answers I always pause, take some nice deep breaths into my belly (click here for a guided audio).
-
I ask myself, “What do I know for sure?”
I start taking an inventory of the things that I know for sure based on what I’m experiencing in my body and observing in my environment.
- I know I’m breathing right now.
- I know my heart is circulating nutrients and oxygen to my cells and tissues.
- I know my subconscious mind is just trying to protect me.
-
I’ll often pause for some thanks – because gratitude is the best attitude. 😉
Thank you body for doing that for me even though I’m not thinking about it.
Back to what I know for sure.
- I know I’m sitting on a chair, with my feet resting on the footstool under my desk.
- I know I just ate a really great salad (hello organic Okanaghan peaches).
- I know I see plants and trees when I look out the window.
- I know they are just doing their thing not worried about what’s next. They just take each moment as it comes.
-
I might shift into supportive beliefs that serve my highest good and fuel my personal evolution and healing.
- I believe I’m in the exact right place at the perfect time.
- I believe I have everything I need to easily cope with whatever is next.
- I believe the Universe is working for me not against me.
- I believe that every problem has a solution.
- I believe that every soul has a purpose, including mine.
- I believe the Universe shows me when I’m acting in alignment or incongruently to that purpose based on what I’m seeing in my life and how I’m feeling in my body.
It only takes a few seconds before my thoughts calm down, my breathing eases, and the tension releases from my muscles. Feel free to give this a try. It’s a goodie. If you’re not sure what beliefs are helpful for you then skip that part and just focus on what you know and can observe.
New normals need new ideas and practices.
You may know that in addition to being a Naturopathic Doctor since 2007, I’m also an intuitive and spiritual coach online. I access a universal database called the Akashic Records to show people who they are at soul level and their spiritual path – what I like to call the Divine Design.
On the topic of path, purpose and beliefs, I truly believe that combining everything I know about spirit-mind-body medicine into a holistic system of healing and transformation is my path and purpose. My online clients spend 6 months in the Divine Energy Advantage, a program designed to help women go from anxious insomniac to vibrant energineer – literally engineering their own energy. I’m humbled and blown away by the changes these women are making in their lives and how they are in turn making a heart-felt, sustainable impact on their families and communities. My heart is FULL when I think about it.
I’m posting weekly videos about this integrative process:
