When Nothing Excites You Anymore: Lost Joy & Numbness
by Abi Beri
Do you remember when things used to excite you? When you looked forward to experiences? If that fire has dimmed and you find yourself just going through the motions, this practice offers a compassionate path forward. I'm Abi Beri, and I begin by sharing my own experience of this loss. Then we explore: - Why joy naturally dims (nervous system science, explained simply) - What your body's been carrying (stored emotions) - Rumi's wisdom on welcoming difficult guests - A somatic practice to meet and release sadness - How to reconnect with genuine feeling This isn't about positive thinking or spiritual bypassing. It's about having the courage to feel what needs to be felt. BEST FOR: - Emotional numbness or feeling flat - "Nothing excites me anymore" - Going through the motions - Chronic tiredness that sleep doesn't fix - Lost motivation and joy - Understanding your nervous system's role
