eat, pray, love your life
The movie, the book, Liz Gilbert—who doesn’t love it all? After all, this is the true story of a woman who realizes the life she signed up for wasn’t making her happy. Her life was misaligned with her being, her purpose, and the trajectory she wished her life would follow. That realization took her into a deep depression (indicated more strongly in the book than in the Hollywood movie).
She realized she was mismatched in her marriage and took the hard step of leaving it. She then tried to move forward into a new relationship, but this rebound wasn’t the answer either. She was still depressed and lost. However, this deep sadness eventually lead to her decision to embark on a year long journey away from her humdrum life. She needed find a spark in life, grieve, and open herself to new experiences. Her friend doubted that this journey would be the solution and wondered if Liz was just running from her problems. However, Liz knew what was best for her.
She practiced gratitude when savoring pizza from Napoli, grieved as she gave herself permission to say goodbye to her marriage in India, and opened her heart to a new love in Bali. At the end of her journey, we watch Liz as she ends up in a new chapter of her life, one that was far greater than she could have ever imagined when she was writhing in her post-divorce depression. Keep in mind, to get to a place of peace, growth, purpose, and success in love and career she had to “do the work,” as her dear friend from Texas taught her.

welcome to arose etherapy
I love opening the blog posts for AROSE eTherapy summarizing this story. It completely encapsulates all this endeavor is meant to offer to you and speaks to the women out there who can identify with Liz. Have you felt unsatisfied, knowing in your heart you weren’t in the right place in life? Maybe that means in a love relationship, in your career, with self-care, or with failing to cultivate the hobbies and interests that give your life meaning and purpose.
how can online therapy help me?
My hope is that you can identify what the problem areas are and understand how you wound up at a place of dissatisfaction so that you can shift out of the dissatisfaction. Through online counseling, you’ll have the opportunity to identify your goals and take actionable steps towards achieving them. Through online therapy, you’ll gain insights into your life patterns and understand how to make changes so that you don’t have to repeat problematic behaviors. You can learn a system of tracking your thought patterns and emotional reactions, again, with the objective of giving a way to better understand yourself so that you can move forward in deliberate ways, towards the life you really want. Through therapy you’ll learn practical skills you can apply so that when life is challenging or exhausting, you have alternative ways of responding to prevent overwhelm.

Do you feel like your life might need some changes? Maybe like Liz, you’re tired of feeling depressed, lost, and unfulfilled. When things feel so awful, it can often be hard to know where to begin. One place you can make a change is with a small but powerful tool. One strategy you can try could be as relatively minor as shifting to a gratitude mindset. Liz and her friends seem to do this—they appreciate delicious Italian cooking, they appreciate being 100% present watching European football matches, and appreciate spending a holiday together with friends. This mindset and practice is effective as proven in research studies.
You can learn more own the effectiveness of gratitude in the next post, but in the meantime, you can begin today by keeping a gratitude journal. It’s a simple tool where you can keep a notebook and each day log a list of 10 things you’re grateful for. What’s the worst that can happen from trying it? If you’re feeling like you need more than a little shift in gratitude and appreciation and need more of a game plan to make life changes, feel free to reach out today and schedule a free 15 minute consultation to learn about online therapy with AROSE eTherapy. I look forward to hearing from you!
