"I let go of stuff that was weighing me down and I felt lighter and freer"

Before I signed up for the M Word, I was burning out taking care of 2 elderly parents, one of whom was an in-home hospice and needed round-the-clock care. I was beyond exhausted, overwhelmed, losing my patience with everyone around me including my parents. What little sleep I had, I had to sleep on the living room sofa to be able to get up to care for my stepmom on her deathbed in the middle of the night. I barely had time to go to the bathroom, let alone practice self-care, but I knew if I didn’t find a way to care for myself during this difficult time, then I myself would be a casualty of burnout, and I would be of no good to anybody at that point. Somehow I listened to Emily’s masterclass and learned that highly successful business people and high achievers meditated and how meditation can help the body rest even better than sleep. If these super busy high achievers could find strength, grounding, clarity, or whatever they were finding through meditation, what if it was possible for me to find all that and peace for myself? So I made the investment financially, even though I didn’t have much of an income at the time. Since I was already sleep-deprived, I figured, what’s 20 more minutes of less sleep in the morning (the only real investment of my time)? Before I knew it, my stress was lessened, and my problem-solving skills seemed to be heightened. I let go of stuff that was weighing me down and I felt lighter and freer, and I had more compassion and empathy for others, so much so that now I want to help other caregivers manage stress and overwhelm better and regain control of their lives, maybe find purpose in their lives as well. (And now I’m taking the Silva Ultramind System to help me build that business more intuitively.)
