Do you have a big project that you want to get done this Spring? Depending on your bandwidth, “big” can be as big as redoing your kitchen or as little as cleaning out your car.
If your current bandwidth is at negative 25%, I’d love for you to revisit our blog on Stop Saying Yes and start deprogramming your people-pleasing mindset.
It’s good practice since our lives are always fluctuating, and the above can help us keep freeing up bandwidth to do the things we love.
So here we are – the days are sunny and bright, the world is growing around us, and Spring is the time that mother nature pushes us to grow the seeds of change in our lives. It’s a lot. Did you know that in Chinese medicine Spring can also be a HUGE TIME OF FRUSTRATION, especially when we can’t implement the change we so greatly desire?
It’s true – spring is the season of migraines, TMJ, grinding, bruxism, neck pain, ear ringing (tinnitus), and floaters in our vision. It is literally the time of year that our head explodes due to mounting frustration and lack of ability to execute our goals or dreams.
If we don’t “do” or “create” or “accomplish” something right now, once the heat truly settles in, we could feel the summertime blues. Yes – it’s a thing! This whole cycle has been mapped out by acupuncturists in Chinese Medicine for centuries.
Once you’ve cleared your plate and are now ready to create – whatever that thing is to you – you have to ask yourself:
“What support do I need around this”?
Often, the answer will surprise you because it is going to be highly personal and not what the 3 bullet points listed in the TikTik video you just watched told you to do.
In case I have lost you – here are a few examples:
“I need to get a shed in the backyard so our yard doesn’t look like Sanford and Sons anymore”
What is holding you back?
“I’m so afraid of speaking to someone in the building department about the shed requirements in my town. They are going to laugh at me and mock me behind my back”
“I really want to learn how to paddleboard this summer”
What support do you need around this?
“Well, I actually am dreading our family reunion at the lake this summer and I thought that if I could just float away during the party . . . .”
“I really want to have a baby and I need to schedule a follow-up appointment with my IVF doctor”
Great – I know that a few months have lapsed – what is stopping you?
“I had a falling out with my sister and she is super judgemental of me. I am going to see her at my cousin’s wedding shower in 2 months and she doesn’t like my husband. If she sees that I am pregnant, I just know that she is going to make snide remarks behind my back”
The above examples are all things that I have heard firsthand in our office.
They are all rooted in self-doubt, fear, and/or lack of personal power. We all know that in order to learn to paddleboard, you need to borrow or buy a paddleboard, get on it, fall in the water a dozen times, and keep getting back up until you’ve got it. But that’s not really the problem, now is it?
Clients often wonder what could be holding them back. Over the years, we have had MANY clients ask us to unblock their chakras so they can keep the ball moving forward on their goals. We’ve listened! We are having a Spring Pop-Up Event – Clear Your Chakras.
If you decide to join us, you will receive a questionnaire and pdf prior to the event to help you identify what could be holding you back. It will explore areas of your chakras or energy centers that possibly need to be more in alignment with what you are trying to accomplish in the physical world.
If we see you at our Spring Pop-Up event, you will enjoy a one-hour treatment that includes a back gua sha massage, chakra stones placed at your chakras, an acupuncture treatment to support the opening of your chakras and intention settings around which blockages might be holding you back.
Is this too “woo woo” for you? Come anyway and enjoy a fun day of refreshments, a treatment, a goody bag, and discounts on new products. Have a fun day FOR YOU and get unstuck.
If you like the idea of our Pop-up Events and want to see more but can’t attend this one, just hit reply and let us know.
If you have been following our blogs, this is the Year at Dedham Acupuncture to Step Into Your Best and Highest Self. We are bringing you the pop-ups as part of our coaching and treatments to have you step into your best self and live your life intentionally.
