I sat in our hot tub on this sunny afternoon with everything I’d ever wanted around me and yet, I couldn’t feel happy. Within minutes I was telling myself that as a coach (with all the tools, experience and education) I should know better. So today, we're talking about it. In this episode, we look at what happens when pain shows up in a year that hasn’t gone the way we planned, and how to process it out of our bodies. Episode Summary: We open with the pain I’ve seen in my clients these past weeks, from deals that fell apart to founders who climbed one mountain and found another waiting. I tell the story of the hot tub, what my friend Caroline said when I told her about it, and why judging our pain creates suffering we don’t need. From there we walk through the three ways people respond to pain and close with a free guide of tools for moving it through your body. Key Takeaways: Judging your pain or resisting it creates suffering There are three ways to respond to pain Numbing. With food, drink, work or a screen puts it on hold, and it keeps growing until you address it. Getting kidnapped. Telling yourself more and more painful stories until the feeling becomes unbearable. Allowing it. Like diving under a wave. It feels big, then it passes over you. Pain lives in the body, so that’s where we work with it Name the feeling first. Say out loud that you’re sad, disappointed or frustrated. Notice where the sensation sits in your body and stay with it. Move. Dance to three songs, go for a run or scream into a pillow the way my daughters do. Comfort doesn't teach us anything We’ve made comfort a goal, which leaves us unprepared for the pain that comes with chasing something big. Numbing pain also numbs joy. You feel aliveness when you feel it all. Pain arrives in waves, so this is a practice you have to keep repeating. Stay open between them and bliss will catch you by surprise.
