I work with people who like myself are highly experienced and quite frankly, gifted. We're also a group of people who sometimes have challenges in achieving fulfillment in some area of our life.
Maybe it's about money, intimacy, parenting, or marketing our business.

What I find is we run out of steam when it comes to getting some of the most important actions done. It never seems that the action in itself is that hard, it's just that we don't have the energy left after dealing with the necessities of the day.

From doing grief recovery actions, I have the energy to do even some of the most challenging actions like speaking to groups of people I don't know!

When I tell the truth that I am grieving some specific loss, I can then allow the emotional feelings that I’ve been holding onto regarding that loss to move. As the emotion moves, I have new energy for action.

Emotions are energy in motion.

OK, here’s an example. Sunday my daughter left to go back to college. As I was walking to the car I was filled with sadness. Normally, I would push this feeling down and then I’d feel a sense of loss all day. I’d hang around feeling sorry for myself.

Well, instead of suppressing my sadness, I let it out. I cried, right there in the parking lot. Yep, just stood there and cried.

Then, like a miracle, I felt OK. I knew everything was right. I was filled with gratitude to have had the wonderful time together over the past month. I felt energy.

I went home and did the actions that were most pressing. Then, I took a great big walk.
