#56: Finding My Spark and Joy Again After My Depressive Dip (Part 2)

I dive into Part 2 of my recent depressive dip and the realizations that came out of it. If you missed Part 1, be sure to check out Episode #49.  During this period, I found myself retreating into a cocoon, using the time to reevaluate my life. Like many, I'm naturally impatient, and the lack of getting immediate answers from the universe was frustrating. But during this time of introspection, I had a few revelations, insights, or what some people call “a-ha” moments including: How revisiting this one old pastime hobby of mine helped me rediscover my spark, unlocked my freedom and sense of empowerment How taking on a dance class taught me a valuable life lesson the power of letting go and finding relief in not always being in control.  How I learned the balancing act of conserving my energy and honoring what truly brings me joy (even if it means saying no to other things) Why the importance of creating space for yourself, mentally and emotionally, will always serve you well (even if it means saying goodbye to old routines that aren’t necessarily bad) The one quote that helps me make decisions with more clarity and intention for this year Remember, these dips are an inevitable part of life, and learning to manage them or honoring them can lead to a better understanding of what’s deep down truly aligned with you. — • Click here to join our membership club and get access to monthly healing events, spiritual workshops, our shadow work self-healing journal, the archive of guided meditations, our safe community to heal with, my support, and more! • Join our online Facebook spiritual community “Happy Healers” today! • For online courses to develop and hone your intuition, work with reiki healing energy, or how to create your own spiritual business on the side, plus free resources, visit TheHappyHealingShop.com — Rate, Review, & Follow Me on Apple Podcasts 👍 This helps me support and reach more people just like you!
