Have you ever gotten so used to something that you forget it’s there? You may have habits in your life that come so naturally to you that you don’t give them a second thought. This episode talks about releasing your flip flop patterns.
I had such a lovely morning. I treated myself to a 90-minute massage with an exceptional massage therapist. She is someone that I’ve worked with for a while, so she knows my body well. One of the things that I love about working with her is how she isn’t afraid to tell me what she’s observing and what I can do to improve my overall physical health.
I’m here to spend quality solo time with you for EP194’s Wise Walk as we discover our True Stride. While leaving my massage session today, my therapist requested that I don’t put my shoes on immediately. They were flip flops specifically. The reason she didn’t want me to put them on is so she could show me the imbalanced footprint left in each flip flop. I wasn’t supporting myself properly as I walked and she didn’t want me to slip back into that habit once I put my shoes back on.
On our Wise Walk, we discuss releasing your flip flop patterns. We need to be present enough to take a step away from a situation so we can see the imbalances. Come with me as we reflect on these Wise Walk questions:
-
- Where in your life do you want to feel supported?
- What are you willing to release in order to support yourself in that way?
- Are there areas in your life that are holding you back?
- Can you see them in the big picture and decide if you need to get rid of them?
You may need a break so you’re not unintentionally settling into a habit that’s well established but not good for you. Inside that break, you can make big changes and get away from patterns that loop you into bad habits.
Put some space between you and the habits that don’t support your best self. Be aware of your patterns with these Wise Walk questions:
-
- What’s one area in your life where you feel misaligned?
- As you reflect on that misalignment, what choices keep you stuck in that habit?
- What could help you move past that habit?
