I am feeling so lost and confused right now. For the first time in my life I feel a need for a new direction. I’m a nurse, a great nurse at that. I love the connection with people, and have such a skill with them. But I’m burnt out.. I have 3 young kids and for a while there, I forgot about me. I have cut down work hours and started putting myself first but financially we need me to work more. What direction do I need to take? I look for answers in meditation and I’m learning Reiki healing which shines my light but my soul is confused how to find the balance of life, money and fun!!!??

Dear Candn,
You are such a delightful being. The only thing I invite you to play with right now is to breathe.
I know it sounds so simple, but the breathe is so powerful. It will help you in many ways….
It will help you to be grounded and centred- relieving stress
It will energize you
It will help you step back from any situation to help see it clearly (just breathe for 2 minutes and you will see what I mean)
Your breath will act as a mini meditation to help you stay connected to your soul, so it can guide you.
I know it sound so simplistic, but this is all you need to do right now- find 2 minutes to do deep breathing exercise every single day. Teach your kids too, and the magic will multiply in your life. You will be surprised by the magic it brings, and even the balance you are seeking.
Let me tell you a little story to illustrate the power of the breath…
A colleague of mine worked for a company doing inside sales for returning customers. She was paired with an outside sales person and together they had a goal of $1 million in sales for the year. A few months after starting this position, the outside sales person left the company and was not replaced. My colleague had to achieve this $1million goal all by herself. She was stressed out to the max.
She decided she needed some support. So she learned a specific breathing technique and took a course for 5 days. She did this deep breathing exercise for 30 minutes every day. And she achieved $900,000 in sales by herself. Pretty awesome 🙂
You are a sensitive one, and simply breathing for 2 minutes every day will bring you the clarity you need to feel balanced and focused and in love with life again. It will help you to see the magic that is surrounding you. And the abundance and opportunities will land on your lap.
I do feel you continuing in your profession, you are such an angel to those in your care. But it does feel like as you shift and grow that you bring more love and energy to what you do. But first you must fill your own cup. And this breathing exercise will do the trick.
