So, it’s been a busy time this past while! My youngest son graduated high school and I received my diploma from the International Association of Counselors and Therapists as a Certified Hypnotherapist.
I also felt the call to listen to my body as I was feeling a bit run down and I knew I needed some time to decompress, go inward, and do some deep healing. This past year, I’ve been transitioning to a new phase of motherhood where I am reclaiming my energy from being there for my kids for 24/7. While they are all at various stages of adult independence, it’s always a process to help yourself and your children navigate into new life transitions.
I’ve set up a new website, a booking site, and all the technical stuff required to set up a practice. I’m proud of everything I’ve accomplished and excited for this new chapter. For me, relaxing into a new way of life is of utmost importance.
My nervous system has been dis-regulated for so long, that I’m still healing everything associated with that. I haven’t been ignoring my healing in any way, but there are some physical aspects that I needed to pay more focused attention to. It feels good to have spent some time away camping, and out at the family farm. Soaking up the sun, enjoying time with family, and doing yard work have been very therapeutic. I’m sleeping even better, and my days have a much more relaxed flow.
I’m working on many projects but with a different outlook and a more relaxed demeanour. My “to-do” list seems long but I get to work on it a bit at a time and I don’t feel the need to do it all at once.
It’s different not to be the main focus of your kids anymore. It’s wonderful to have my creative energy restoring to where I can work on my projects without interruption. And at the same time, I have sadness releasing as I let go of the old phase. It’s also wonderful to witness my children flourishing as adults and finding their way in their careers, schooling, life and relationships. I’m so proud of them!
And I’m proud of me too. It took a lot of energy to raise self-responsible and emotionally intelligent children, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
