Energy Loss After Chronic Trauma

What you can do about energy loss after chronic trauma? Childhood trauma encompasses a wide range of adverse experiences that occur during the formative years. The formative years are the time period between 0 to 8 years when the brain and neurobiological development are the fastest after birth. The formative years are a very influential and potent time; it is the time when a child defines who they are and who they will become in the future. The adverse experiences can range from physical, emotional, and sexual abuse and neglect, attachment issues, observing household dysfunction (such as domestic violence and narcissistic behaviours), or exposure to violence.

Dancing In the Kitchen

Well, it's been another busy week. I have been intently concentrating on reading, a ton of writing and my coaching calls. When I put a lot of time in during the week for what I want to accomplish, I make sure I take at least one day to let loose and have fun. And so I did yesterday. Saturday was a day for the errands I can't get done during the week. Even with these 'must do' errands, I made an intention to really enjoy my time shopping, unpacking the parcels and preparing dinner. Rather than rush through the preparation quickly moving to the so called down time afterwords, I made unpacking my parcels and preparing dinner my down time. Instead of being in the hurry, hurry, let's get to the next step mode, I was in a relaxed state doing the chores that could even be regarded as tedious.

After shopping with the crowds, when I got home, I unpacked the parcels of groceries and such, and turned the radio on. I took a big, deep breath and started the process. Chopping knife in hand I began cutting up the veggies and tossing them into the large ceramic bowl. I was looking forward to the long awaited greek salad that was tickling my taste buds. I was really enjoying this process and my relaxed state. Then Billy Idol's White Wedding came on. I cranked up the music and began dancing, bee bopping around the kitchen. I had a blast. I have no idea what the words are to this song, but the music got my energy pumped. I loved it!

I didn't go anywhere exotic, I didn't change my scenery, but what I did do is change the way I wanted to feel in the process of doing chores that had to be done. And, with that small, yet potently powerful intention, I had FUN! And what happens when you feel good? You allow your desires to flow to you with ease.

I'll let you know what transpires next time.
