There have been times in my life when I have felt ineffective, incapable and barren. Like I was pouring effort and energy into something and nothing was happening.
Impotent.
In those moments, when we are tired, downhearted and disoriented, how do we get back our libido for life?
POP THESE PILLS
1. Find your centre- We all have an unconscious need to remain connected to self and when we are stressed, we lose that connection. Being clear about your core identity and values will give you a fixed reference point to regain your bearings.
2. Rebuke the lies- Remembering exactly who you are will instantly reveal the distortions of our thinking and expose the lies that felt so true in the moment. We can use our specific identity words to regain focus.
3. Check your power source- Often when we lose our mojo, it’s because we’ve been plugged into the wrong electrical socket. We might’ve been climbing the ladder of success or status that worked for someone else hoping it would work for us too. In this case, failure is actually a good thing- it reminds us that there is no one size fits all formula for life and that true power comes from being aligned with self. Adjust efforts accordingly.
4. Cultivate bodily safety- Whenever we lose our way, it’s because we are stuck in our head where we fear, worry and try to control things around us. We have lost touch with our senses. Close your eyes. Take 5 deep breaths. Feel the way your feet connect with the floor. By grounding yourself you create safety in this present moment- the only place we can truly effect change.
This isn’t just a one and done scenario. This process is your viagra for your soul. We do this over and over again. When starting the day. When taking a break. When feeling triggered. When things get hard. When things are good.
STAYING CONNECTED
Cultivating a practice of remaining connected to ourselves is how we stay powerful, potent and productive.
- Do you want more?
- Do you crave significance?
- Do you feel like you were born for so much more than you’re currently experiencing?
There’s only one way. And it’s unique for each person. The blueprint is written inside of you. And we need to (gently) crack it open.
