“I found I was really irritable and felt out of touch with my core self. I started thinking I didn’t even really know who that was. I felt out of touch with my own priorities, like I was just rushing around trying to be everything to everyone, all the time. I felt like I was losing touch with the adventurous, playful, fun self that I knew I was. 

It kind of just snuck up on me over time, like “O well, the world kind of sucks these days. And things are hard but whatever.” Then I found this opportunity and thought maybe this is exactly what I need right now.

Now I feel really clear on my goals and priorities and finding that I’m able to be more grounded in that; setting achievable goals and DOING it. Me knowing what I need is helping me communicate better with other people.  Instead of me being upset, but not understanding why. 

It used to be all or nothing, but I’ve been able to pick achievable things and really stick to it! And I see the results in how I feel!

I’ve really tapped back into my intuition. I don’t think I realized how silent that had gotten because I was always moving so fast all the time. But finding the time with you (Nyssa) to slow down and connect with my inner voice, the answers would just come pouring out. Listening to that inner voice now I’m processing things in a more calm and cognitive way. I’m actually listening to what I need and doing it.

Responding to big stressors became effortless. I’ve been practicing so many things, and I now have the tools to stop and recognize when I start to get anxious and overwhelmed, and move through it with more grace. That's been really nice.

Now I’m continuing to define my values. MY VALUES. Not what someone else thinks they should be.

I didn’t know what to expect going into it. I’d done therapy. And I didn’t think I had some serious things to figure out. But I was just floating around without direction. This really aligned me again and gave me a great restart!
