It has been a long week, but I made it through. Watching a ton of soccer games, and trying to not lose my mind while working. I have written some great new additions to my craft, but I just need a few days to relax and settle my mind.
Self care is my top priority, but just some cozy feet up and a soft pillow with solve a lot for me.
Lately I have been spending a lot more time meditating and breathing more. I have always thought, who can spend at least 10 minutes per day to practice deep breathing and meditation. I honestly never understood, who had time to slow down their mind for that.
I am not talking about reading, walking, eating slowly, or staring off into nowhere. and call it deep breathing and meditation. It wasn’t until I had done it; I understood. Everyone has time for things they need in their lives. I can now say I can take the time needed with ease and without guilt of missing out on other things in my life.
It was a path of being ready for it. You can’t complete something if you are not fundamentally ready for it; to appreciate it. I wasn’t ready, until I saw myself making space for myself—in my mind, body, and spirit—to allot time to myself.
The growth has been so wonderful and enchanting. Today has been 61 straight days I have been on this journey. I am happy to continue, and grow more into this space. I started to treat my time with so much love.
Mornings: I do yoga and stretching. Afternoons: I write tiny notes/messages of kindness to myself Evenings: I do meditations before bed.
Have you ever tired deep breathing and meditation in your life?
Feel heard, Feel acknowledged, Soften your walls, Courageous and confident, I unlock myself for you, I notice the change, Less reactive, Yet more harmony, I can see you without filter, I see beyond your traumas, I know your truth.
Life can be boring, So make it interesting, We lose at times, So next time, let’s win, I am sure you have doubts, But remember, in the end, Do anything different, The power of change is in your hands.
