slow, sensory day in the life: how I’m healing [chronic/adrenal fatigue, HPA access dysfunction]

Take a peak into a slow, sensory, healing day in my life👁️ (can you tell I filmed this a couple months ago? 😂☃️❄️)

Since 2020, I’ve been unlearning a fast-paced, career-driven life & learning how to instead cultivate a human existence that sustains me & doesn’t lead to toxic stress & chronic burnout. On top of that, for the past year I have been consciously healing my body from chronic fatigue syndrome (AKA adrenal fatigue AKA HPA access dysfunction).

Do ALL of my days look like this? No.
Does privilege play a role in my capacity to sloooooow down? Absolutely.

I recognize capitalism doesn’t make it easy for ANY of us to live like this - in the soft, slow ways so many of us truly need to thrive.

AND, I believe that we learn from others even when our lives don’t look exactly the same. I believe there is healing for you within this video even if you’re NOT in a place to slow down & be with yourself to the extent I’m sharing here.

Before I embarked on my journey of burning my past life/self to the ground (not to be dramatic, but that’s what it has FELT like), I genuinely did not know anyone who lived in the ways I am living now. I only knew my old life wasn’t working for me; I had NO IDEA what it looked like - on a day-to-day, practical level - to live a life that was actually in alignment with my heart, my soul, and my sensory needs. It has taken me YEARS to learn how to find the balance between doing it ALL (survival), or not doing ANYthing (burnout). It has taken me YEARS to get to this point, where I can finally feel my self starting to thrive. 🌱

I so badly needed examples of what this healing & decolonizing journey looked like, and that’s why I feel so passionately about vulnerably & authentically sharing my journey with y’all💜

I am THRILLED to share that my hard “work” [of unlearning “work”😉] has truly paid off, and I am finally out of the woods of survival [living to work, auto-serving, self sacrifice, codependency, perfectionism, anxiety, depression, brain vs body decision-making, self oppressing/colonizing]

2024 is comin in HOT for me, y’all🔥 and I can’t can’t CAN’T wait to share more of this beautiful, magical journey of self-reclamation with you🥰

For now, know:

You are not alone.

Nothing is hopeless.

The visions you have for your self & the world are REAL, and the reason you have them is because YOU are the one who can bring them into manifested reality.

Keep going keep going keep going KEEP GOING!!!!!!!

WE’VE GOT THIS💪🔥💖🦋🦄💫
