The Plan Was...
to take a month’s pause, to relax and reflect. The thing is, the last week of that month was when my hubby’s vacation from work fell this year. Great! I’ll be finished with what I plan to do, and we can do our usual Summer Staycation fun stuff.
Have you ever had the experience of just when you’ve given yourself permission to “take a break”, that’s the time when you realize just how tired all your systems (mind, body, spirit) are?
Bronchitis wheezing, eyes that only wanted to close, a mind full of fluffy white cloud mush and a spirit with no oomph.
So much for clarity of where I want to go with my life and biz. All that’s been calling me forward was the comfort of daylong pj’s, cranberry pomegranate juice on ice, and Bob Evans mac & cheese and mashed potatoes.
Staycation turned into recuperation. As I started to wheeze less, my mind defaulted into “I SHOULD BE getting something done, since I have this time off.” My body and spirit refused to budge. 💕
Why do we push ourselves OUT of what we truly need (rest, connection, play) and INTO some programmed “but I have to’s”?
It happens with our StoryJotting, too.
I have all this “free time”...gotta be productive.
I said I would have this organized and all planned out before school starts up again.
I have to finish this NOW or I’ll be so far behind.
Let’s stop pushing ourselves to keep on keeping on with OUR PLAN.
Instead, let’s follow those Heart-Touched Sensations I teach about. They assist us not only in uncovering the Heart Stories underneath our memories...those moments that actually matter to us.
They can also guide us toward a vibrantly healthy-for-us, Enough For Now Workflow in memory keeping and in life!
What’s on your Must-Do List for this week? Not much? That’s my girl!
