Amazing!

I am a HUGE fan of your guided meditations. Lorazepam and your meditations are the only thing that helped me with severe panic attacks that sometimes lasted hours and would happen repeatedly throughout the day (also went to an outpatient facility)-I couldn’t take care of my kids or work-I’d experienced a lot of trauma as well. I didn’t have time to recover from one trauma before the next one came. I could really share so many details of my journey-but really I just want to let you know that I made it through all of that. But now things are getting hard again. So I was trying to find a new podcast to help me heal. So I searched your name! I was so excited to see you have a podcast. This is a big answer from God. Often what I pray about will be answered the next day In podcasts I follow. I want to say thank you. The podcast about the dry ground was so unbelievably helpful. Heaven came down and filled my soul. I love also how you expressed your joy in this podcast-a joy untouched by outcome. I have that joy too in my writing. But I do have a question. I have always been in shape and I’ve always been able to be at a healthy weight. As I have aged it has gotten harder and harder. And now I’m working a night shift and taking care of my kids and jogging just isn’t possible. It takes too much of my energy and I crash later. So I’m
Trying to be ok in this new place where a walk and a few push ups is all I can do. I feel like jogging has been stolen. Also we moved out of Arkansas and I no longer have the natural beauty and hiking I had before that repaired all the wounds that kept coming. It’s a huge loss. It’s devastating. Where I live now, I have to be here but it doesn’t have that.
I would like you to address, if you can, some of your words of wisdom and comfort for
These two
Things. I have gained Weight and I so care for my health that it is devastating. And I love to put effort into exercise but I just cannot. I simply don’t
Have enough energy after all I do. But the weight doesn’t just make me feel ugly, it makes me feel heavy. And no matter how little I eat, the weight doesn’t budge. Along with all the other things in my life that are hard, this is just devastating. I wish I could just have this one thing. Maybe it is like what you said about planting seeds. Slow and steady and one day it will happen. But this is something I love, like
The hiking, that I no
Longer get to do. It was always something I loved to do and gave me so much joy. And it feels like it has been stolen because of my job and just life being so hard. How can I be in this place? Changing jobs is not an option for now. If you have anything you can offer I would appreciate it. Thank you for this wondering podcast!!
