MessageHi SD,
Just an observation, not a judgement:
You mentioned you have been suffering from
adrenal fatigue/exhaustion/burned out
condition for awhile; yet, in your intense desire
for healing, it appears you really try to pack a
lot of things into each day and really structure yourself;
but isn't that part of the problem to begin with?
If you are working and living your life with intensity
just so you have the ability to do healing practices,
aren't you defeating the point of the healing practices?
I don't know. This is just my impression of the situation.
For instance, when I went online one day (a few days ago)
and saw that you had made 12 consecutive involved posts
about your healing programs etc., I just had this vision
of a hamster on 12 cups of coffee running like mad on a
hamster wheel, and then saying how tired it was.
I mean, I'd be tired too ;)
Forgive me for sounding harsh, because I really am
coming from a place of compassion and sympathy
to your situation; I really have wished for
good results in your efforts.
But I really think that maybe part of the solution
to this problem is not in doing MORE, but in realizing
how you can relax more into your body and spend LESS energy
as you live your life, so then you don't need as much
and you won't feel so tired. This will probably help rebuild
the adrenals also, as a consequence.
In other words, rather than using energy trying
to find ways to get more energy, look for ways to be more
relaxed in everyday life and spend less during daily living;
then you might feel that you have enough energy.
Do you see the problem in working and rushing
just so you can do healing practices?
I mean, maybe you might not need as much healing practices
if it were not for the working and rushing.
Just something to think about.
You might want to consider just trying to observe yourself
throughout the day (take a few days in a row, just to
flatten out fluctuations). Then try to see if there are times
when you are rushing, when you feel a tightening in your body,
when you feel a driven intensity, when you feel you are
spending energy uselessly on insignificant things during the day, etc.
I've done this myself before, and I've found it very enlightening.
There are a lot of situations when we tire ourselves out needlessly.
But this post is just the feeling that I have from
reading your history of posts; I've never met you, and I'm not you;
so only you know, *truly know* deep down, what is right for you.
That's ultimately the solution . . . do what you really feel in
your gut what you feel will truly help you, not clever ideas
from the head . . . which are ultimately just schemes to keep
you detached from your body.
Feel free to ignore these ramblings.
I'll just sit back with hopeful interest and listen to any progress
you might share.
My best to you,
Steven
