Hi Sammy. Qigong and tai chi are also wonderful ways to help you foster good balance. In addition to helping train your ability to sense your position in the space around you, these gentle mindful movement practices can help strengthen muscle and flexibility which can help prevent falls.

Andres, what you are experiencing is not unusual. That euphoria when reaching an external goal can turn into an empty and unsatisfying feeling quickly. One thing to keep in mind is that our intrinsic, internal goals are more motivating than our external goals. A key question is whether your goals are in alignment with what you really want. Goals often reflect conscious explicit motives shaped by societal norms, reward structures, and what we believe. But there is more to this question of what you really want in your daily life. You have implicit motives as well. You just might not know it because they are subconscious, which influences your actions more than you may realize. A mismatch between your explicit motives and your implicit subconscious motives can undermine your well-being and ability to reach your goals. If it exists, it is s possible to overcome or reduce this misalignment. Studies indicate that goal imagery and mindfulness meditation, for example, can help to access implicit motives and foster a congruence between conscious and subconscious goals. You may also want to reflect on the process you are using to reach your goals and your efforts so far. You may not be giving yourself sufficient credit for all you have accomplished. In peace and gratitude, Stephanie

Hi Mari. This is a condition I also suffered from for many years. Key to addressing it is reducing the stress in your life and slowing down. Reducing the stress means different things to different people but is likely a combination of eliminating some stressors and learning how to manage stressors you can or do not want to eliminate. In addition to coaching, meditation and other mindfulness practices, including mindful movement and breathwork, are wonderful modalities to help you do so. Let me know if you would like further information.
