"You can only avoid your heart so long before your mind begins to bend."

⬆ That thought came out of my mouth while supporting a client one day and I surprised my own self.
Divorce✔ 
Facing Rejection✔
Job Transfer✔
Moving✔ 
Total Life Upheaval✔
Trying to Maintain 'Normal'✔

I had to take a look at what in my heart I was ignoring. I had to take a look at the emotions I was trying to 'stuff' somewhere and avoid. I had to get honest about the broken heart I was trying to mend with Band-Aids instead of rest, recovery, self discovery, and proper care. I had to be real about how I was stuffing the voids of my soul with unhealthy coping mechanisms.

My mind was bending because I was ignoring that broken little heart that was working hard to keep beating and look strong.
Crazy crept in.
Emotional snuck up.
Unstable seemed to take over.
I was offended by everything and everyone.
Fears and tears at the drop off a hat.
My mind became as weak as my heart because I refused to call the experience what is was.
Grief.

Along my path, I had developed the belief that grief is for the weak and that I certainly don't have time for it....wrong-o. 
Grief is an extremely natural phase in life. It can follow life altering tragedy or a more simple upset. Calling it by its name will allow you to be -with it- long enough to learn how to deal. 
Becoming acquainted with YOUR grief will have you recognize it when it shows up so that you may treat it as the house guest that it is, feed it some pie, have a good cry, and send it on its way.

If you spend the time with your heart, you will get to know it so well that you can be with all of the different stages emotions, feelings, and thoughts. This will give you the true Power you seek to chose Peace over Peril. The more often you exercise this practice, the better you know everything about yourself and the more fully expressed you are able to become. 
Not only will your heart grow stronger, your mind will too. 

You will become available to others in a way that you had not previously had access to. 
You are giving yourself a gift of self love, love for others, and the ability to be present even in the face of an emotion.
Let's have a heart session. 
My heart is open to yours. 
Message me and let's get to mending ♡

Live the life you love.
