Snapshot of My Life Now
Today, I am happily married to my love and we have a little, energetic bulldog who keeps us on our toes. I left my corporate job and now spend my days doing what excites me and lights up my soul. I love yoga, pilates and time in the sun. I am healthy, energized, and have peace in my mind. I feel a sense of meaning and purpose in my life, and am truly excited about each day.
But it wasn't always this way...
I've climbed many mountains to be here... Here's a snapshot from a few years ago.
I was an engineer in the corporate world and was constantly filled with anxiety and stress. I created problems in my mind about everything in my life.
I could feel the anxiety all the way to my bones. I felt crippled and trapped in a mental prison that I could never escape.
Problems replayed over and over in my mind. I had trouble falling asleep, and little energy without copious amounts of coffee during the day.
The chatter would never stop, unless I numbed it with alcohol or other unproductive activities. I had a relationship and job that didn’t suit me. I felt my life had no meaning, no purpose, rather than to show up and pay bills. I felt bored all the time, and in that boredom I created problems. I couldn’t see a way out.
As much as I wanted to be happy, I just couldn’t.
I had zero motivation to leave my unhealthy habits. The pain I felt was too much. I had a great childhood and young adult life. I didn’t understand where all of this came from and felt it was completely unjustified for me to feel this way.
Part of me felt stupid for how I felt. I showed up happy and outgoing on the outside, but when I was alone I was a completely different person. I pushed it under the rug for as long as I could. I developed unhealthy habits to cope and attempt to numb my feelings.
My daily level of anxiety rose and rose and rose…
Until I hit the breaking point.
My pain finally woke me up...
One night when I was so plagued with anxiety, I drank way too much alcohol, blacked out, and smashed my face on the side of the bed. I woke up with blood all over it. I washed my face and had 2 large, glistening gaps. I went to the ER and had 11 stitches.
This would have seemed like a wakeup call to radically get my life in order, but it wasn’t. I did pick myself up a bit, got a new job, surrounded myself with a new community and found new activities. However, I still had a bit of anxiety and hated being alone, but adopted the strategy of constant busy-ness to not have to feel in.
Finally, 6 months of partying after the end of a long term relationship, I knew my life could not go on how it was. I still didn’t feel a sense of meaning in life. The things that used to be fun, partying, drinking, staying out late, etc were making me feel worse. I became to realize life wasn’t going to magically change for me. I knew I had to be the one to make the change.
I've turned my lessons into methods so others can skip the struggle and thrive.
