Monday Energetics

I am starting a series that reflects on the energetics of the day. Taking a quick minute or two in the morning when I wake up to reflect on the energetics of the day has helped me feel like I have a bit of a say on how not only the day is going to go but how I’m going to feel about it.

Today is Monday. Society has taught us that Monday is the day of mania! Our frantic nature, anxiety and nervous system disregulation is highlighted as we dread the beginning of the work week. The energetics though, feel so different to me and I am going to tell you how I used my own gift of readership to rewire the meaning of today.

First of all, as I take my first breath of the day, I understand and accept the day is busy. Point blank, there is a lot on the go, on the list and on my plate that will ruffle my feathers - this is natural and apart of the world we live in. But I also know that this week means a refresh, I am upon the precipice of newness that I get to experience and also curate. The energetics of newness and a ‘refresh’ is automatically opening the valves in my heart, the muscles in my body (stomach, neck and back are the places I hold most tension) are opening up, softening and my feet are itching to go. These are all physical cues (among so many others I’ve observed over the years of doing this work) that tell me I am the storyteller here. I may not have control over everything, or even more than one thing today, but I choose the narrative I attach to, I choose how this day goes and flows.

I want to touch on the energetics of anxiety for a quick second because I think the footprint of an anxious soul, predicts the behaviour going forward in such a visceral way. Anxiety limits our ability to see not only through our physical eyes but also malnourishes our intuition (seeing through our gut) and our ability to be open (seeing through the heart). We are stiffer, tense in our bodies and say things like ‘I can’t wait until Friday’ or ‘When will it be over?!’ The anticipation of a ‘better’ or ‘brighter’ moment, day, week, etc keeps our bodies, minds and spirits disassociated and diconnected with our current life. And this is the number one reason, that I’ve seen in over 20 years of client work, why we feel more fatigued, why we turn to alcohol, sex, gambling, and other toxic vices to numb ourselves out. The rupture of our energetic fields creates openings for the most terrible and debilitating pattering - we are stuck, we are no longer telling a story, we are at the end.

So I implore you - take a minute, a second. You deserve it. You are worth it.

See you next time.
