Newsflash: Elke is tired. Not sick and tired of something or of life. Not deadly tired. Just plain ol' tired; the wake up tired, fall into bed tired, and not-up-for-the-game tired. And I hadn't really noticed 'til today just how tired I am.
Mind you, I can function: I still teach Zumba and see clients, and I am in the midst of editing a pal's book, and am getting ready for yet another move to our new, long term home.
But today, as I was looking at a day without appointments, and a day when there are roofers pounding away at the roof of our temporary home, I checked in with my check list of things I can do and will have to do someday soon and thought: I am tired. I need rest and some form of self care. So I've put in calls to 2 body workers, and am waiting on their reply, and meanwhile I am scheming a day to get away into nature. Besides finding a nap in there somewhere, I have no other plans.
Why I am sharing this with you: Because I suspect that some of you might be coming to a similar realization: Not only is your life in transition or is moving fast or is stressed, but you (and I and others who are sensitive this way) are ALSO picking up on and working with the weird and dark and challenging world events and trends. I do not need to list them. You know what I am talking about. Which brings me to this suggestion:
Take a breath, and take good care of you. However you can do that. It might be a few minute break in the sunshine, it might be a cup of tea, or a nap, or revving up your meditation practice. Or maybe it's time to take entire day off--what a concept!
Give yourself permission to hit the pause button and take a deep breath. And then another one. You'll be glad you did.
Take good care, and bye for now,
Elke
PS: I do have activities and work days coming up. And I promise I'll be up and energized for all of 'em....check it out:
