Adrenal Fatigue - When I hit adrenal fatigue I had many realisations.
One was that I had created a whole life and identity that was completely out of alignment with who I am and my natural flow.
Because of this, I had not created solid boundaries. But also created emotional boundaries in certain areas as I didn't feel worthy of love.
I was highly strung, constantly in work mode, and always on the go. I knew loads of people and had lots of friends but never allowed anyone to get to close.
Only when I hit rock bottom did I decide to inquire into why I had created this for myself.
For those of you who don't know, I was actually suicidal. It was because my body was just so tired. I didn't know who to reach out to and I was just completely lost as my whole identity had come crashing down.
I had even written a letter.
Thank god I pulled myself out of that darkness but the reason I had gotten myself there is I had a complete lack of self worth.
Because of this lack of self worth I had created no boundaries. I was a people pleaser. I would abuse my body, literally complete disrespect for it. I would drink and party almost every night of the week, eat terrible food, and work all day and most nights.
Then when I hit burn out, I had to change everything because nothing I used to do worked anymore. The first boundary I created was to not go out.
There was always a party in Surfers Paradise and I just started saying NO. First, it was NO to having that extra drink, then it was NO to drinking every night, then some nights I didn't go out at all. I stopped drinking unless it's for a special occasion, which were actual special occasions not just a generic one.
As my self love for myself grew, I shifted completely out of the party scene. I started getting up early on a Sunday morning and going to the organic farmers market. My values just started to completely shift.
I stopped hanging around certain people. Started getting CHEK Coaching. I found an artistic side to myself and started playing guitar, getting creative in the kitchen, surfing and gardening. The oils came into my life and then everything really started to shift.
You see everything that happens in our life set us up for our next big thing. As I had done sales I, had no trouble talking about the oils as I truly believed and still do believe in them. I had no trouble managing and supporting people because I had been doing that for years and I had a clear reference point and understanding of people's issues as I had been through hell with my own health.
Creating a life of doing what is best for you is actually really interesting in a world where judgement and criticism is rife.
People continually paint a picture of who they think you are mostly because it triggers something inside them that desperately wants to find out who they really are but are stuck in their story.
The thing is though when you truly love yourself, you understand that there is no other way but to be yourself.
Its bloody brilliant when you do. NO becomes your favourite word for a while then YES does but a deep yes that resonates with every cell in your body a yes for the magic and wonder of life.
We were put here to have a good time and you and only you have the power to write the next chapter of your life.
