Clearing the Kelp: Making Space to Move Forward

On a recent getaway to the beach, the kelp was intense. So intense it got me thinking.
You ever felt slow, sluggish, heavy?
You ever feel; like reaching your goals is too complicated, too much effort or overwhelming?
I freaking GET IT. This spring I felt this kind of energy, and I know my clients often feel this way when they first reach out to inquire about getting support.
This heaviness can come from two sources:
Your internal narratives / energy / physical realities
The external world; environments, people
I always suggest looking at self first asking these kinds of questions:
What are you doing to yourself? What inner dialog do you have going on?
What is going on with your body that you might be ignoring? Are you treating it well?
Who are you being when you show up in all the spaces? Kind? Resentful? etc.
Most of the time, we do find things we can address within our control. But sometimes, there is some other ish going on that we don't think about needs clearing... like the kelp.
The big vast ocean of people, places, situations, WHATEVER can be dumping shit right on you, or in front of you that you don't even realize.
But there ARE things you can do about it. While it may seem hard to believe, just take this tractor as proof that it is possible. This tractor here was able to manage the daily dumping of kelp, it was able to do the job and clear the way to the waters edge.
Here are my top 3 suggestions for clearing whatever kelp you may have:
Take salt baths. Water LITERALLY clears energy. Think of it this way - when you feel refreshed after going in the ocean, part of that is the salt water doing its magical thang.
Cut negative cords from people / places. If you've never heard of cord cutting, welcome to a new frontier! Google 'cord cutting meditations' and give it a try.
Explore energy work (like chakra balancing or reiki). You know I love to talk through our deepest challenges, but sometimes you need another modality and energy work is a great complimentary tool. If you are curious, but know nothing about this work let me know! I don't offer these services but I got people...
Showing up at the person and leader you want to be requires a little clean up from time to time. The world we live in impacts us - in ways we don't always see or understand.
If something in this post resonates with you - TRUST IT as your internal guidance to further explore.
If you have no idea what is stuck and why you aren't feeling forward progress - reach out here for a complimentary conversation to start the process.
