Warrior Weekly: Let’s get ready to launch!
A big week in many ways and a super moon to go with it.
Monday – Trial run of a new online offering. A 3 part series over a 6 week period starting with the session “wake-up the warrior”. Felt a little apprehensive and a tad nervous as I had no idea how it would turn out. Received the message to believe in myself and learn something from it which put a different spin on the experience. Couldn’t have gone better! I also came across a fear during it that I have about being judged by someone else based on someone else. All in all, thrilled with how it’s taken off - exactly what I wanted, hoped for and imagined. This service will appeal to men as well as women. It’s going to change lives.
My bestest most specialist friend came to visit in the afternoon. Took her for lunch then she had her first ever session of bodywork with me.
Tuesday – an all-day Bring Back the Balance Retreat With Me concluding with a deeply healing, deeply restorative bodywork session at the end. We pushed ourselves out of our comfort zone and threw in some chanting and took a deep dive in to some really BIG journalling prompts. It was amazing, I love how these days work out and how the transformation unfolds.
Wednesday - Full moon in Aquarius – the first of 2 super moons this August. Really feeling it this week alongside being in autumn week of menstrual cycle. How’s your sleep been? Are you feeling it too? My knee which has been healing well went backwards. R said time to go the doctors. I said time to call in the spirit guides! Don’t get me wrong, if I’d broken something I absolutely would be heading straight to the hospital but after what I experienced for 20 years to diagnosis, I’ll find other ways with bigger pay offs thanks. The guidance that came back was to rest-write-rest-write. OK, ok, I’m listening. This was all in the middle of the night - wide eyed awake - so got up and wrote a section of my book and also received guidance to write a letter to the universe about the latest manifestation I’m aiming for. It’s a big one - I’ll let you know how it goes!
Online yoga first thing - meeting me where I’m at as per usual. We did a lot of self-massage using a massage gun I have that I haven’t used in aaages. Sorted out the niggle in my calf immediately. Took Milo out for his usual lunchtime walk and my knee was better than it’s been for the past 3 weeks.
Regular bodywork client in the aft. Tea out with friend. Decided I’m bringing in a new boundary – from now on, I will no longer be taking on board any opinions of others that are personally about me. I will recognise that they could not possibly be about me because they haven’t taken the time to get to know me, my vision, my values, my purpose, my path, my passion and what I’ve been through never mind where I’m at. It feels good to have the respect for the opinions of others I’ve always had but a boundary in place that means I don’t take on board their opinions over what I know to be true for me.
Thursday – early morning call to Thailand with my friend who I spent time out there with earlier this year. Car back in the skoda garage for some of the other work that didn’t get finished 2 weeks ago. Family tea out for R’s son’s 15th birthday.
Friday – head not so good today. Feeling rough. Period started this aft. Floatation tank at teatime. Not been able to switch off the last few sessions. My mind is on overtime and has been for weeks now. Had a card reading done by my friend
at . She’s at the top of her game when it comes to this. Only she doesn’t tell you what you WANT to hear. Her magic is telling you what you NEED to hear. She also ran session 2 for me of her new online offering and it felt good to show up as the rough version of me and not have to pretend I am well when I’m not. A healing in and of itself.Saturday – head not so good all night and this morning. This is moderate pain and nothing at all of what I used to live with and experience on a much more frequent basis. Even at this reduced level, there is NO WAY you can refer to this as a headache. I know we get told it is and all the documentation out there only ever refers to “headache” with a few additional symptoms. But there is so much more to this than an ache in the head. Even at this – what for me, is such low level (compared to what I used to live with). Took 2 sumatriptan sprays at once. A change they made in the medication prescription a couple of years ago but not something I had tried due to the risk of medication overuse (it’s not recommended to take more than 2/3 a week - I used to take 7 per attack before I knew this and peaked at 2 attacks per week). There’s a 50/50 chance it’ll work and today was my lucky day - I made it to my sister in laws hen do in Leeds. R drove me and my sis there and back to make it as easy as possible for me and we came back around teatime after having a brilliant afternoon and loads of fun. I only spent £1.88. BOOM!
Sunday – lazy day in bed. Lunchtime breakfast. Head ok. No energy. But that’s ok because I set my life up this way so that I can have days (sometimes weeks) like this. Received a set of questions I’m going to be asked tomorrow on a podcast called Happily Ever After. It’s all about my sex ban of 2.5 years so I went very bright red at the thought of having to talk about this OUT LOUD on a show that people will tune in and listen to!
Fellow migraineur here. I hear you. I 'stacked about my own experience of migraine a couple of weeks ago. Will look forward to your book!
