I haven't been on for awhile, as my life got busy and I found that the living of it was of higher importance then the introspection. However like all parts of life a balance is necessary. So today has become a day of introspection and connecting within myself and those of importance to my journey.
My house will stay messy, my meals simple and duties can wait a day. I am going to enjoy some down time doing as I please. I love my work and I love my life, but it is important to recharge once in awhile. This will be different for each of us and can differ from day to day. Today for me, is a day of rest and doing as I please, in a guilt free mind set, (not always easy to do.)
As I think about where I am a couple things pop up. The need to find focus and balance is becoming more and more important as I take on new more complex responsibilities at work. I have 6 staff members and 9 programs that I now over see in two different communities. Meeting their unique needs and balancing it with my commitments to my personal growth and education has taken up much of my energies. Learning to focus on each different facet of my life has taken up much of my energy and spare time, but I am feeling I have accomplished this to great deal.
For those of us with a strong desire to help others it is so easy to get drawn in and forget our own needs. However; as my friend and Mentor Alexandra Gold says one must have a full cup to give from. So as we head into this busy holiday season I ask each and everyone of you to remember to take time for yourself, ask for help when you need to and that No, is a complete sentence, no need for further explanation.
Blessings and love to you all.
