Things have been somewhat chaotic over here (at times) this year, and so I have been taking some time to just be still and do what works for me. Sometimes, that means not being on the computer much, and sometimes it also means pulling back and only communicating with my inner circle. It’s nothing personal, but it’s one of those things that I have to do from time to time, to ensure that my body, mind and soul stay as healthy as can be.
I see this as a good thing- or even more as a necessity. I learned a valuable lesson last year when I did not take the time to listen to my body, do what it needs- and ended up with what I’ve coined ’empty cup syndrome.’ I’d given, and others had taken- of my precious life force, until I had no energy left for anything. I couldn’t talk- hear noise, or be around people. It was a first for me, but it was a valuable lesson, and a huge gift. One I haven’t taken for granted.
I believe we all need to take the time to do what works best for us, especially if we want to be our best for others. It isn’t a sign of weakness or selfishness- but instead a sign of strength and wisdom.
