That seems like the ONLY thing that I did NOT do yesterday, write! I haven’t been writing this blog very long but I missed it yesterday! I look forward to writing! The little icon “write” that I see in the upper, right corner of my WordPress interface. Few things feel as exhilarating as clicking that rectangle and seeing what comes out of my brain, my heart, it’s super corny but it feels like talking to to my soul:-)
Yesterday was a hectic, exhilarating day in an emotionally tumultuous, ever-changing week, in a year that has been full of conflict, self-discovery, exploration, grief and dismay. I was EXHAUSTED! So instead of writing, I slept. Taking care of myself felt good. It’s a slippery grasp, the balance between routine and radical self-care. I think both are important, equally. That is where the “knowing” comes. It’s impossible to create a flow chart to thoughtlessly determine what one should do in any given moment. It’s impossible to KNOW what YOU need if you aren’t paying close attention, if you are not tuned in to YOURSELF.
Tuning into others has always been easy. The story OF MYSELF has been based on the way others react TO me. I’m grateful to finally have the insight to KNOW that NO ONE other than me can tune into what is best for me. I know, effortlessly, what my body needs. I am working on being brave enough to ask. Rightnow? I need a very hot shower, good sex and SLEEP! We’ll see what happens:-)
