Hey hey! How are you? I'm back to talk about a topic that I think needs to be screamed from the mountain tops: creating your reality. Too dramatic? Ok, but the thing is I feel like I was sucked deep into a big life thing (in my case a vestibular disorder) and then found the dim light that was shining at the other end of the tunnel and followed it for a long (long) while, through twists and turns, just trying to fight my way out, and eventually breaking through. During the period of reflecting on that journey, all I could think about was getting super intentional with the life I craved. I think that when you're dealing with a chronic health thing, or a big life event, or anything that sucks up all your energy, it's easy to lose sight of the big picture. Let's be honest, when I was in the middle of an intense vestibular migraine attack, feeling detached from the world, grasping for reality, I wasn't contemplating my life goals. I was just plotting getting through the rest of the day. It got to the point where I just had to stop worrying about what I could not control. I shifted all of my energy to what I could create. Focusing on what I could shift in my world changed everything. It shifted my mindset of my vestibular condition and everything I was capable of. Let me break it down: Shift heartbreaking vestibular disorder to empowering life event. Shift the thought of how much time I'd lost to all the time I'd gain in the future having gone through this battle and overflowing with gratitude for the present moment. Shift feeling destroyed and ungrounded to taking back my wellness one day at a time. Passion is energy and I have become incredibly passionate about advocating for and inspiring others (myself included) going through a chronic health thing, because I do not think anyone gets through this human experience unscathed. I have been broken, so I was going to do more than just put together the pieces and find myself, I was going to create myself.
Lofty concept, but my point is that we can create our reality. Yes, it may take making changes in our lives and getting uncomfortable and feeling all the emotions that come with change, but that's the beauty of it. You create your life from the inside out. I hope you're still with me, because this is where I tell you why I created Bliss Out, why I spent countless hours writing Vestibular Warrior, and why I will continue to pour my heart into this space. I'm designing what I want to see in the world. A hub to elevate our wellness. A starting point for soul work. A place to get vulnerable, grow, and create routines to level up our wellbeing and how we navigate this life. Thank you for stopping by this little space in the universe. xoxo, Em {for my full story with a vestibular condition + guide to thrive, visit here}
