What my right arm has been teaching me

This week on the podcast I'm talking about...my right arm. It's more interesting than it sounds, promise 😂

I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel like aches, pains and illnesses that I go through, are my body's way of giving me an important message that something is out of balance in my life.

I'm a big believer that that is what burnout is all about. That it's your body and your brain's way of saying 'STOP. Something is wrong. Something has to change'.

So when recently - as I've been going through my big career transition - my right arm started to ache, getting increasingly worse until it has become hard to pick things up with my right hand - my instinct was that it was connected to the journey that I'm on.

And as I've been asking that arm (yes I've been talking to my arm) what message it is trying to give me and as I've been using my left arm instead of my right - to allow the right to rest and heal - I've gained so much insight and wisdom from tuning into this pain in my body and what it has to teach me about where I was out of balance in my life.

And so in today's episode I wanted to share with you what my right arm has been teaching me about what has been out of balance in my life - the blind spots I hadn't been seeing before.

And how healing the pain in my right arm is playing a part in this journey back to balance - where I'm striving less and hanging out in the metaphorical woods more. And finally things - much to my surprise - are starting to flow again.

So if you've been feeling lately that you've been existing on a treadmill of never-ending to-do lists, striving and just pushing on through, because you feel you have no other option...then this is an episode for you.
