77. Stop Intellectualizing & Overanalyzing and Start Living: Choosing Joy + Embracing Ease

Allow this episode to inspire a shift in your energy. Allow it to remind you that life is meant to be lived. That joy is a choice. That ease is only as simple as we make it. That thinking about your feelings or journaling about them is not the same as feeling them. That the tools for change in any moment are inside of the gift of your presence. This episode is for my fellow thought daughters, the introspective ones who love to see into their own psyche and pick apart the many caverns of patterns and shed light on their shadow, for those of us who are always looking for the lesson, trying to learn from life, who are committed to being a student of it. I know that you have taken the beautiful responsibility for your life, but have you remembered to also… live it?If you feel like you've been stuck in the cycle of overanalyzing your thoughts, feelings, emotions, and trying to "figure your way out" of wherever you may have found yourself, if you have been on a constant hamster-wheel of striving towards who you want to be and are finding little fulfillment or joy in the process, if you've been doing the inner work but feeling like you're making no progress — this episode is for you. It is a reminder of the power of your subtle energy and is filled with with inspiration from my own discovery with this subject, practices for you to reinstate ease into your life, and a discussion about what choosing joy actually means and how to push through the resistance that will inevitably come when you decide that joy is your priority. You are not a self-help project & healing is not your purpose — living your life and experiencing it: is.xSign up for the Spring Solstice Online Workshop!Discounted / Free Access (Depending on your Tier) in the CommunityFree Grounding & Energy Cleansing Meditation in the FSO Together community <3& Stay Connected through:MY NEWSLETTER (scroll to the end of the page to join!)Podcast Instagram: @figuringshiiitoutPersonal Instagram: @222vgfTikTok: butterflyfountainSubstackIf you liked this episode, you'll like this one too! 47 - Stop Playing it Small & Start Flirting with LifeResources for this Episode: Somatic Shaking Practice + Dance Movement TherapySomatic Meditation for Emotional ReleaseCHAPTERS: 0:00-5:30: the one who asks is the one who receives - you are not a self-help project.5:30-9:30: having corporate america flashbacks in a community sauna?? what I learned9:30-10:50: getting lost in being a student of life (vs a liver of life)10:50-12:30: the influence of your inner teenager + alchemizing in acceptance12:30-16:22: the path of least resistance + finding ease 16:22-20:02: intellectualizing & overanalyzing to reinstating ease: subtle energy shifts20:02-24:00: it takes discipline to be in bliss: joy must be more important to you than fitting in24:00-27:15: time as a portal, being in communion with others 27:15-29:00 code switching & energy shifting 29:00-33:29: co-creation, trust with the divine, opening yourself 33:29-34:27: short practice for cultivating a shift 34:27-38:02: there is more to life than figuring sh!t out (contrary to what you may believe)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
