Do you regularly feel stuck, confused, and overwhelmed? One client of mine felt this way when we first began working together. She said she just felt "done". She felt blocked off from everyone and everything. She had been helping everyone else's life run smoothly but had been neglecting her own needs.
If you can relate to this client's experience, and you also feel uninspired, unexplainably upset, or "off-balance", you may be struggling with anxiety or depression. The persistent fast pace of modern society, or living in constant overdrive can lead to burnout, overwhelm, illness, mental instability, and unrest.

Today's modern culture does not respect the human experience of difficult, negative emotions. We are encouraged to carry on, "chin-up" and forge ahead. This overwhelm, and the lack of rest, can lead to a subtle or overt feeling of depression, which can manifest in many ways in your life and physical body; stuckness, emptiness, grief, anger, fatigue or chronic pain.
It is a regular practice to create and sustain inner peace. The mind on overdrive, with overwhelming worry, tension in the body, and always feeling pressed for time can create feelings of anxiety. When the brain is over-active, you can lose touch with the wisdom of the body. It is common to experience worry about the future or stress about the past.
Living in a culture that emphasizes material possessions and "good on paper" achievements can leave many individuals feeling like there must be more to life than this. Many of us understand we are more than just our thoughts and feelings; we desire direction and purpose, peace and harmony. Your overall well-being is greatly enhanced by having a spiritual perspective in life.
Traditional therapy can feel like you're repeating your story over and over again. Many people don't find much value in recounting and dissecting their history because it doesn't provide any coping skills, or change how they feel. Recapping a story can still bring up feelings of sadness, exhaustion and feeling stuck.
Mindfulness Practice is a skill set which can help you manage an overactive mind. Many people can become preoccupied with worries, regrets, and memories, and feel as though the mind is working overtime. Giving all of your attention to the present moment, i.e. increasing your awareness, allows you to accept the here and now, and evokes a sense of appreciation and calm.
