As the Autumn months kick in, taking us into the latter part of the year, not long left until another New Year kicks in. Maybe it's a little premature but I'm already reflecting on the year which has swiftly danced by and what a year it has been. I've learned so much about myself and that awareness continues and will continue until I leave this earth plane.
Yet the beauty is that I am much stronger and hopefully wiser but it hasn't been easy, because I have been challenged by this emerging awareness to look at me more closely. To look at how I operate and to continue to be true to self. The challenges that have presented themselves have often left me thinking "Que Pasa?" yet I have a wonderful oracle of wisdom by my side and a few trusted friends who have often held out a hand and guided me, sometimes kicking and punching into my new awareness. And one key thing for me was to finally put life down and get some long term REST.
Now this thing called REST has really challenged me so much so that I ended up in A&E two weeks ago as my right arm died on me, so to speak. My shoulder froze and went numb and I spent a few days in bed laid up on my back unable to move and in such pain that I had to breathe myself to sleep to get some respite. Even the paracetamol didn't work (and I am not one to take tablets) and I ended up bawling like a baby.
Yet this was a place the Universe had to bring me to AGAIN in my lifetime. Actually thinking back on my life, the few times I've been taken down have always been quite severe. A wake up call YEP and YUP. Yet this time I knew it was time I really took note and I've made some major changes in my life. It's hard dough, because I'm having to discipline myself to understand what REST really is about and to slow down more than 50%.
For someone like me who has been incredibly driven and have pretty much done life on her own for so long, to pull back and allow more support and help in my life and to just nurture self has been interesting. I still feel challenged not to work until the late hours of the morning and to go to my bed when tired, even during the day, rather than push through. But my health is of the utmost importance to me. Yet as I continue to learn to STAND IN MY TRUTH AND DO ME, I know that whatever shows up in my life and in my body tells me something about what I need to deal with.
So I would encourage you to continue on your journey through life by being mindful to look after, to nurture, to rest well, to exercise, to eat well, to strike a balance in life. I am learning to walk my talk more with this because it's important.
Remember things do not show up in our body unless we invite them in by not being mindful. We are what we EAT. We are what we THINK. A balanced and healthy body cannot get ill. Watch for the signs. Makes those changes now before its too late. I ended up in A&E because I was not listening to my body enough. I saw the signs I just chose on some level to ignore them. What is it you are neglecting or not facing today? Go gentle on you and face what needs to be faced, without judgment, without fear. Remember THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE.
Heaps of love and hugs
