“I’ve lost all faith in myself.”
This week I received a newsletter from a holistic coach who said that she had been dealing with the fact that she had lost all faith in herself.
She was struggling for a long time (at least months, possibly years — she wasn’t specific) with the anger of past betrayals. It had poisoned her spirit. And she wasn’t even really aware of it until it came flying out of her mouth when she was getting a healing from a shaman.
This can happen to anyone. Especially those of us who hold space for others on a regular basis.
We get into this work because we have our own issues. We do our best to deal with them, and then we step into service.
Because the world NEEDS us.
But those old patterns can creep back in.
The old patterns tell us not to pay attention to ourselves and to instead focus on our clients and their needs. But we aren’t a clear channel if we’re not dealing with our own issues. And, our energy is diminished by negativity, lack of self-belief, and fear — so we don’t attract all the people we could be helping when we are in those states.
Stepping into space with a shaman or other healer can often bring things to the surface that we’re not even aware of.
I can basically guarantee that if you live in the USA and you haven’t done a LOT of decompressing and self-care in the last couple of years, you are seriously burned out. And you are probably only vaguely aware of it.
Just the act of holding the predominant energies of anger, angst, and upset at bay is enough to send any empath into overload.
You double down by working harder because that has been your go-to when you are feeling out of control. But it’s not working.
This is because you need a break. A REAL break — not a day off or a staycation.
You need to get out of the country.
You need to get away from the toxicity that is seeping into your soul. It is poisoning your belief in yourself and in the Universe.
Take it from someone who recently moved to Boquete Panama. It’s so much worse than you think it is when you’re in it.
Think of the frogs in the pot coming up to boiling who don’t realize it’s too hot until they’re cooked. Yep, it’s like that.
I get that you may not have the ability to move out of the country like we did. But a significant break from it would do you wonders of good.
Consider it.
You DESERVE to take care of yourself.
And, if you’d like to come to see me in Panama, I’m always open to doing half or full-day VIPs. Did I mention it’s 70 degrees, sunny, and stunningly beautiful here? Here’s the link to talk to me about spending a day together. https://calendly.com/kellesparta/private-day-with-kelle
