Freedom From The Freeze Mode Slide

The Freeze Mode Slide

Yes the slide part is a term I made up for the process of entering freeze mode, but this is one of those “IF YOU KNOW, YOU KNOW” things, because it feels exactly like sliding down down down into the old ways.

The ONLY ways we knew before we got support and learned skills to help ourselves turn the momentum toward freeze mode around, so it doesn’t change our preferred level of functioning in life.

You know what I mean, it’s the:

😣 ignoring inklings from our body that tell us it’s time for fresh air, or to put the phone down, or drink more water. Instead we follow the freeze mode invitation to ignore our body and keep on scrolling (aka numbing out) long enough that we are now contributing to hurting ourselves, and putting ourselves at a disadvantage functioning-wise for the next day, and the next, and so on.

😣 watching ourselves give WAY too much thought energy to things toxic people say or do instead of using our tools to detox their impact more and increase our immunity against such future interactions.

😣 repeating old stories to ourselves about how we don’t have the energy or the capacity or the strength to give ourselves what we need, including anything we were deprived of because of past trauma, or anything that was broken by it. Yes we need healing, rest and rejuvenation time but there’s also time for acting from our power, from our resourcefulness to give ourselves the best chance at succeeding in creating the business and life we know deep down is truly meant for us.

These are just some of the red flags 🚩 signalling that we’re sliding down into non-functioning freeze mode for longer than we could ever want to.

And when we do nothing about them, when we pretend we didn’t even see the red flags, we are guaranteed to enter freeze mode — landing us, yet again, in that old stop-start pattern when it comes to creating that business our soul knows is meant for us.

And so the “stuck” cycle continues, on and on and on.

The only way out is to make a decision that you’ll do whatever it takes, within integrity of course, to make that business vision in your heart a reality. It’s this level of “no more bullsh*t” that breaks you through.

Because in “no matter what” land when you find yourself sliding or getting stuck, you call for help fast — no matter how much it costs.

You’re not available to sitting on the side of the metaphorical road, in your metaphorical vehicle, stuck deep in that metaphorical mud, until someone happens to come along to rescue you — IF they even do.

IF nothing horrible happens while you’re waiting like a sitting duck, because heaven knows all we need now is to add MORE trauma to all we’ve had to deal with at this point already.

Make the move, Love. Don’t play with the fire of wasting more years, putting the business vision on your heart up to chance as you do.

If you’re feeling stuck, it’s ok! Acknowledge that then make a move, couched in your decision that you’re making this work “no matter what.”

And if it’s me you want walking with you in this next part of your journey, I just opened up 3 spaces in my new 30 day coaching program. Details are in comments below!

You’ve got this.

I’ve got you!

No more ignoring the flags, sliding.

No more waiting.
