What a difference a couple days can make

I talked a few days ago about feeling like I was in quicksand. I realized today I have no friggin idea what that would feel like, and I imagine the fear factor must be through the roof. Irregardless, it is true I felt metaphorically like I was in quicksand.

Today I feel more in balance due to getting help with managing my physical challenges & turning them into knowledge tools & strengths down the road as I retrain how I use & work with my body. Craaa craaa craaazy I know at 63 to have so little awareness of how my body really works and sooo exciting to be acquiring tools to eliminate pain, inflamation & dysfunction in my body. Getting stronger instead of weaker as I age friggin rocks. Thank you Liz Lutz: Pilates and More on Gabriola & by extension Gabriola Fitness our local gym who hosted a course on the lymphatic system run by Liz that I cannot recommend highly enough. No-one was paid for this endorsement, I just think knowledge like this needs sharing, it changes lives.

So basically I’m learning which muscles pull which dohickys inside the thingymajiggys in my shoulders. Do you know which muscles pull which dohickys inside the thingymajiggys in your shoulders? 🤣

Actually I do know that some of you might, but to me this is new knowledge, new tools & with it more ability to calm the wholy #$&^#@# down.

Now for some of you this will not be logical, you tick differently & that’s fine. What has become apparent in my chatting with folks over the past couple weeks about this quicksand feeling is that it’s as common as dirt right now. Most I have asked described this type of inertia, feeling of getting nowhere, quicksand, 2 steps forward – 3 back dealyo as being true for them as well. As I was not using my superpowers in that moment, I’m pretty sure I was not influencing them 🤣 OR was I ……

No, I believe we’re feeling the waves of fear, of horror, of not again, of what the fuck can I do, of the world changing at yet another increase in pace. When you’re running & the fricking lion is getting closer instead of further away ….. welll it’s the shits, it creates fear, fear produces baaaaaad behaviour AND extreeeme goood behaviour.

Two flows, two waves of energy.

So I look at it like this. The are way to many factors in any given moment impacting that moment for me to go on a detective hunt for the cause, because, well life right! Work, driving, cooking, there’s a lot to just living before we get time to look at what happened in the day & why from a psychological perspective. So for me to be in balance I cannot have a lion chasing me, I simply do not have the time it needs to fuck off and chase someone else. So poof! Lion gone – metaphore people I do not focus or put my attention on mainstream negative news media from any source. I keep my mind on a diet that creates happy neurochemistry. Yes, yes ostrich head sand blah blah. Don’t care because, you will care when there’s a crisis how I react. I will be able to react the best coming from a place of balance & going into chaos, than coming from a place of imbalance (anger, frustration, disempowered, feeling of overwhelm, sadness, impotence). Who you gonna call? Da person on the floor in tears for help, or the one already directing people to safety zones? That people is why the best thing you can do is PUT YOURSELF & your Balance First.

So go be selfish please I beg you for all our sakes 🤣

Go ride your wave

PS: Your physical centre of balance is approx 2″ below your navel. I invite you to put your attention there & see what happens. Play around when you’re in different moods & different situations. Where’s your balance point when on a ladder? Where’s your balance point when laughing with friends? How can focusing on a balance point in your body, hack your body? How does it hack your mind? How does it hack your emotions?
