The Impact of Worry and Depleted Joy

As of late, I have found myself trying to figure out where my spark went over the years.

I saw glimpses of her recently when I went on a road trip with a friend, and she wasn’t afraid to do carpool karaoke with me. I used to sing, and trauma stifled that for a very long time.

I have caught myself so many times over the years wondering where “I” went.  

The part of me that was spontaneous and carefree.

That part of me that was fun.

The part of me that was silly and unattached (although I still cared , I just wasn’t obsessed).

The problem??

Media outlets highlighting the misery of the human condition, propagating fear and division.

Trauma that no ones knows how to cope with, so we inflict that shit on others.

People creating a fake life online in an effort to lie to themselves that they are happy.

We work our asses into the ground to keep up with the “Jones’s”.

We worry about everything under the sun, that, in the grand scheme of things, really doesn’t matter.

We catastrophize worst case scenarios in some twisted way we thinking it will ease the pain if the “said thing” occurs.

No wonder we are effed up!!

Worry and working too hard sap the joy and enthusiasm right out of our lives. It does far more damage to you than you realize… so many health problems start here!

We worry about what others think.

We worry about paying our bills.

We worry about fighting for a cause when we should fight to take care of ourselves.

I’m telling you, slow down.

Take a break!

Do you remember what it feels like to be carefree?

Do you remember what having an enthusiasm for living feels like?

Adult life hits and we become burdened by responsibilities, obligations etc… leaving us feeling heavy and without energy to care for ourselves. The problems in the world are NOT going to be fixed by focusing on anything “out there”.

We need to start in the home of our own hearts.

I bet right about now you are about to keep scrolling on to the next thing…

But hear me out…

Do you have constant nagging pain?

Are you tired all the time?

Are you moody or overly sensitive, feeling irritable, anxious or depressed?

Do you have a hard time feeling vulnerable enough to be your true self and express your feelings?

Can you let others give to you without feeling like you owe them back?

Do you feel dull and uninspired?

Are you numbing yourself with addictive tendencies?

Are you struggling with intimacy?

These are all signs your 2nd chakra is jacked up.

When this happens, we end up irritable and hypersensitive and yet at the same time shut down and hiding.

This then turns into a lack of joy and enthusiasm in your life.

Worry takes the center stage.

When did you lose yourself?

Where did YOU go?

Suppressing anything buries this part of you… that true spark of your essence.

I say we should find our shovels and unbury our Sparks…

I am sick of living this way.

Are you?
