I just don't feel right

Are you on track?

My aim is to get you back on track. Underneath your stress and worries are patterns that your crocodile brain still believes are keeping you safe. That's because that survival response worked when you first activated it perhaps age 2 or 3: too young to have access to your Logic Brain. Then it has been triggered again when you were 9, 14 or 22. Survival patterns that are not working cause stress. This turns up as physical pain, like tension and stiffness in areas like your neck and upper back for instance. It impacts on your digestion: digesting nutrients and digesting the events of your life. It affects your posture, your weight-bearing and quality of movement. Stress also shows itself in repetitive thoughts, emotional overwhelm and that irritating sensation when your energy is pent up, and what you usually do isn't working now. Name one of your stress-reducing strategies. Now try naming 2 more….

 

What is your go-to strategy to calm down?

Behaviours also indicate when we are stressed. From reaching for 'treat' foods, adrenalin boosting drinks to being 'on edge, short-tempered, drinking more alcohol and even working harder. Being a workaholic is a sign of stress and avoidance. So when people say to me they just don't feel right, I hear that they’re stressed and are unsure where or why. I connect with this sense of feeling lost, confused or just unmotivated and flat,  because in 1993 after my first kinesiology session I had a profound experience. I thought to myself, 'I'm back, Molly's back from wherever it was she fled!' It was like I'd been in the dark and now suddenly a light switch had been turned back on. 

"I JUST DON'T FEEL LIKE MYSELF..."

Isn’t it super disheartening when even what you previously loved no longer lights you up? When your passion has lost its bubbles! The first thing is to ask for help. The second is to change one thing in your day - just one. Add in a 10-minute walk - make it open, free of agendas. Just walk in any direction for 5 minutes and then walk back. Timetable this in your phone and do it a set time - like morning tea-time. Swing your arms loosely and breath deeply. Or put an alert in your phone to Stop for 3 minutes at a set time. Close your eyes, place your hand over your heart and slow down your breathing. Centre and ground yourself by breathing in through your nose, and out through your mouth, and fill in this phrase: ‘I appreciate…’
