“Let that shit go.” Your friends and family would describe you as a go-getter. Whatever you want you can get it and you do. You are passionate and get focused on tasks and won’t rest until they are completed. However, you have prioritized achievement over caring for your body, and even as you try to eat a healthier and more balanced diet, your body is not responding. But you should be able to figure this out on your own, right? You have been to the doctor, and their advice wasn’t super helpful, or they tell you everything looks great. You are used to solving and fixing things on your own, but now all the things you used to do to feel better are no longer working. It’s hard to be present and hear what your body is telling you. It can be uncomfortable to connect to your emotions, they can feel very big and overwhelming and it’s often easier to brush them under the rug. You are going through a transition in your life and you realize how important it is to slow down and listen to the amazing information your body is giving you. Light side: Supportive, loving and a problem solver without any attachment to the outcome. Dark side: Worry about outcomes and getting fixated on how you are going to do something instead of enjoying the process.
