Hey, no joke,
Trauma healing is hard work, but no one says that there are times when it can be seriously dull.
To commit to recovery takes effort, working through everything, developing a self-care plan, and rebuilding a life. Suddenly days are not nearly as exciting and lacklustre, feeling at a loss as to what to do. My former life revolved around pain, unhealthy relationships, attachments to social media, and even a touch of overworking.
Meaning that I had to build a new life that did not.
According to my therapist, BOREDOM IS NECESSARY AND GOOD.
And I forgot to tell you I just celebrated FIVE years sober.
This is the good news no one talks about. Healing takes time. If someone told me five years ago, I would be bored eventually, which is good. Why would I have signed up!?
Boredom allows the space to learn how to build richness and fullness into your life based on a healthy approach, and that takes time, creativity and perhaps a certain degree of trial and error. Boredom during healing can be considered an essential part of the process.
THE PERFECTLY VALID REASON YOU ARE BORED
It may feel like you are in a time vacuum, with nothing to fill up all those hours that pain-chasing and use filled before you were in healing. Chasing joy in a fun mobile applauds any attempt at making life less boring.
BUILDING A NEW PURPOSE AND IDENTITY
When you are ready to unstick your boredom, you will finally give yourself the bandwidth to go the extra mile to fulfilling your pleasure.
How do I know?
Achieving for myself and my ways are very things my clients seek. Do this tedious work to help others find it safe for them to do for themselves? In my own journey, it is my great honour to hold myself in this process and in order to hold others.
Are you bored? Good!!
You can be less bored while growing in your humanness!
Cool, cool.
Ps. Of course, coaching aims to support you in your own process of becoming more than bored, shedding the layers, and finding simplicity and joy. I promise you I am not the coach that offers shady shit to get you to say yes.
