64. Permission Granted: Stop Surviving, Start Thriving

Do you find that you react easily? Do you find yourself having an almost out of body experience that lashes out at other when you feel hurt?

Do you feel anxious or like you walk on egg shells a lot?

How many times have you had a partner just say something that they believed-”well what’s the big deal….all I said was no.”

But here's the deal....for you it was SO much more than NO-it was the tone, the look, the dismissive nature, the critical undertone.

Our nervous system is wired way before we ever get to these moments. It is wired in childhood and if we don't learn how to bring ourselves out of survival mode, we continue to live in these states of dysregulation. We are easily triggered and find ourselves wrapped up in behaviors that are not healthy to us or the relationship.

It's important to remember that these behaviors are not voluntary. They are automatic responses based on our desire to survive. However-not always conducive to the creation of healthy relationships and the life that we actually desire. Learning to regulate is essential to our healing. It is so important as midlife women that we awaken to the power of this work. We don't have to spend our second act being a victim to old patterns and ways of being. We get to create a magical midlife and learn how to reparent ourselves by learning how to step out of survival mode and THRIVE.
