What’s Actually Expensive

With inflation, everything feels expensive right now. 

Gas, food, mortgage interest, vacations, getting help.

Coaching and retreats also feel expensive

- at first glance.

What is really expensive?

Holding on to painful thoughts

Practicing unhelpful habits that cause you harm,

Staying stuck, feeling heavy

Not living a happy, healthy, and present life.

Arguments with loved ones are “expensive.”

Resentment, regret, and grudges are expensive.

Choosing to be a victim and self-doubt have tremendous costs.

Worrying about things out of your control

Trying to control things that are out of your control

Trying to fix things that aren’t yours to fix

Comparing and despairing

Acting out of self-doubt, fear of missing out (FOMO),

and catastrophizing.

Are all very expensive.

Unhealthy relationships with loved ones and colleagues are also very expensive.

Parenting from a place of fear and doubt is also.

As is ruminating and feeling disconnected, discontent, and angsty.

Lack of peace, anxiety, burnout, confusion, and indecision are emotionally very costly.

Poor sleep

Unhealthy eating

Unwellness

Doom scrolling

Cost us all a lot in terms.

Buffering and consuming to feel better

Shopping, eating chocolate, ice cream, and cake, and/or drinking alcohol to numb intense feelings

Also expensive.

Living out of alignment is very expensive.

Parenting from a place of fear and doubt,

choosing “should want” rather than actual want. Once again - expensive.

Coaching - 1:1 or on a retreat-  is not expensive by comparison. In my experience, it turns out to be cheap.

By decreasing and eliminating many, many of these hidden costs.

Your brain and body are your most important asset.

Managing my mind and learning to take care of and nourish my mind, body, and spirit “well” were the best investment I have ever made.
