Sarah

Thank you for sharing your story and for the reminder to be who I truly am. 💛 I resonate with the freeze response more than flight or fight. Only recently have I learned how this response can be ongoing (overworking,perfectionism, and overachieving are my go-tos). Beautiful talk, thank you for your openness and wisdom 🙏

Sarah, many thanks for sharing your knowledge about and your very personal experiences with the freeze (fawn) response. It was an "aha moment" for me, when you described that one can go through life, unknowingly, in a freeze response by over-achieving, over-working, doing in a robotic daze, and more (esp difficult for HSPs and other neurodivergents). This behavior is almost encouraged, if not admired, by Western society despite the stress and imbalance in causes in one's life. This daily freeze response is mostly ignored because it's not a dramatic event/s that is traditionally recognized to cause the response and is viewed as a positive reflection of being a hardworker. Kudos to you for making this distinction, so we can be more Mindful of doing and move towards a grounded, centered and balanced life of being in awareness. Namaste...🪷😌🪷

This hit home 😭🥹 the weight of generational trauma and conditioning, the weight we carry being a woman, a person of color, and simply being the sensitive soul we are. The weight of the world can often leave us feeling paralyzed, and mindfulness is the antidote to come back home to ourselves. Thank you for sharing your beautiful words and perspective - and I want to share a mantra I often say: I am never too much and more than worthy 💗💓🌸💓💗

Such a powerful way to start the day - initially I could feel my body resisting the words as years of feeling unworthy came to the surface. I listened to this on my morning walk and the combination of the words and the movement super charged the ability to connect back to self-worth and alignment. Thank you 🥰🪷🙏🏽🌸
