Have you ever wondered why your mind is so restless, you can’t focus, you can’t keep your attention, your eyesight is getting worse, you have trouble sleeping, and you feel like your energy is leaking out through all your pores and you don’t have it in your hands?
Maybe you’ve gotten caught up in a whirlwind of events – work, obligations, scheduled events, and necessities – but they don’t feel good, they don’t align with your natural rhythm. Finding your natural rhythm and pace can sometimes be very tricky. The mind analyzes and advises us on how we should live, how it is most practical, how it is expected of us, but at the same time we may have become so far away from ourselves and our true nature during our studies and life that we don’t know how to get back to ourselves later on.
How do you feel now? What would you like to eat to make your body feel good? What would you like to do on your day off right now? Just sit on the patio and read, clean your house beautifully, or go for a brisk walk in nature… Or do you like to be around people and would you rather sit in a square, people-watching and chatting with passers-by?
If you’re in a transformation process, everything in your life is changing rapidly and you’re losing control, it’s very healing and I would say quite essential to regularly come back to yourself, your body and your heart, take your time, slow down, ease up on the intensity, and settle in. Sometimes it can be hard to do when the hamster wheel is spinning too fast, but it won’t slow down by itself, we have to do that ourselves.
As soon as you notice that you are no longer relaxed and start to feel stressed, slow down. Take a break. Maybe go outside for five minutes and breathe. Sing out loud, shout, run up and down the stairs, do a few squats and lunges – ground yourself, wash your face with cold water, pick up a decharging stone. Whatever helps you get rid of the tension. It’ll help you get back to yourself. Try to feel your heart, your softness, your emotions, your inner impulses in every moment. Always follow your impulses. It’s your intuition telling you what’s best for you. You are always the priority in your life. Take time for yourself, don’t apologize for it. If we take our needs, impulses and desires seriously, others will take them seriously as well and support us in being well. It helps us blossom into our true radiance and power. We can choose in any moment to relax, to expand, to breathe deeply. To not stagnate in a hamster wheel.
Enjoy this beautiful process of re-discovering yourself. Take your time, nurture yourself, make yourself happy every day. Invest in yourself. Enjoy it wholeheartedly. 🙂
