After weeks on the road (after selling my home) and a big move, my body finally caught up with me. I could feel it in my neck, my shoulders, even headaches by mid-afternoon. All those miles gripping the steering wheel and lifting more than I should have left me out of whack. When I finally slowed down enough to notice, I realized that I needed to get support and realign. A chiropractor, a massage, and even some posture technology gave me the clues that I needed to start shifting things back into place.

In this episode, I share what that process looked like for me, and how even small changes have already eased the pain and cleared my energy. It reminded me how connected our physical state is with our emotional and mental wellbeing. Sometimes a little attention makes a huge difference. On this Wise Walk, we’ll check in on the areas where we might feel just a bit off, think about the support that could help us realign, and look at what steps will help us feel lighter and more in sync moving forward.

• Where in your life do you feel just a little bit off?
• Is it physical, like your neck, head, shoulders, or back, or do you feel off energetically?
• Do you feel a little bit off with your relationships or work?
• What area of your life feels out of sync, where you notice pain, resistance or strain?
• What small steps can you take to address that imbalance and support yourself?
• How can you show up for yourself in a way that feels nourishing?
• Where might you need to enlist the help of others to find relief and structure?
• As you drop into your heart, what needs the most attention in your life right now?
• What is one thing you can do today to feel more supported and aligned?
• Can you name what feels off so you can tame it and start to shift it?
• Who can you talk to that you trust so you don’t carry it alone?
• What tools, resources, or individuals could help you realign in a way that fits you best?
• What motivates you most? For example, visual cues, conversations, or other kinds of support?
• Can you give yourself permission to seek what you need without guilt?
• What would feeling more balanced and in sync with your physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual wellbeing look like for you?

In this episode:

• [02:58] I knew I needed to work with a chiropractor in order to address my pain and also a masseuse to get some knots out.
• [03:43] I discovered that the doctor I went to had technology that helps address what's going on with me from a digital imagery standpoint. It was really helpful to get those visual cues.
• [05:36] It was so helpful to see my body alignment visually. I can see where things were a little bit off.
• [06:33] We've driven over 5,800 miles in the past month. There were a lot of miles and a lot of sitting. It makes sense that I need to unwind and realign the imbalances.
• [08:16] The way my head was out of alignment and shifted forward, meant that my normal 11lb head was more like carrying a 46lbs head.
• [09:07] Everything is connected. That's so true for everything in our life. If we are off emotionally it affects our family life. If we're off at work, there's bad energy and stress.
• [10:04] Ignoring when we feel off will lead to more imbalance.
• [11:51] I'm excited and motivated to improve the alignment and imbalance with this new awareness I've gained.
• [14:06] If you feel like you're totally aligned, do you know of someone who you sense may be off. Do you have the bandwidth to help them?
• [15:03] I have a friend going through a home renovation, and the contractor isn't doing right by her. I keep reaching out and trying to support her, even if it's just listening.
• [16:14] If everything's aligned for you, maybe there's someone who needs your help that you can be inspired to reach out to after this Wise Walk.
