Posts Tagged ‘Take Time for Yourself’
I just lost a week of my life! I have not been this ‘busy’ in a very LONG time – mostly by choice. Last week taught me WHY I unplugged from everything. WHY I made choices to uphold what is important to me.
WOW.
I lost a week of my life… where WAS I? I realize I was present with my clients. With Chance. With Mark, mostly. But, where was my time? GONE! *Poof* In an instant… shazam! Dissolved into thin air.
When Friday came I was gone… literally and figuratively. I was empty. I had nothing left. I even rescheduled a beloved client because I literally did not feel like I was at my best.
Am I kicking myself? No. But you better believe that I made changes for this week! And, that really is how contrast works. We get an experience and we say, “Nope… this is NOT what I want.” then we create something new from that moment.
This week, I have clients, writing to attend to. THIS BLOG that went into my hyper vortex last week! And…yes… me. I have a very important appointment with myself. As well as Chance, Mark and clients I love.
I know, without a doubt, that for me to be optimal I MUST have time to process. I require more than most people, I’m sure. I had a friend who used to take three to four days per month to go be by himself. We all know what it is for us. For me, I need big, juicy chunks. Two hours is best. One will do. Less than that and I’ll vacate my body and go into the ethers to ‘make space’ for myself. Not the best for living in the world. Truly.
My family amazes me with how loving they are about this requirement knowing that when I take care of me they get the best of me.What’s your optimal? Play with it and see … you can have what you ask for.
