IGNORING YOUR OWN GOOD ADVICE ….
Rewind 9 days, I could feel my immune system fighting something off. I was so looking forward to a CPD training that was a gift to me, to be explored and enjoyed on my own mat.
I decided to go to the intro, and listen to my body. I then chose to miss the 2nd day and retreat to my bed, I hoped that I might be able to go and enjoy the 3rd day.
I did.
The training was everything I expected it to be, physically challenging, lots of arm balance and inversions.
I was hugely challenged.
I thought I’d done enough.
The next 3 days I was mentally on fire 🔥preparing for Christmas, socialising, cold dipping. Although my body exhausted by the end of each day.
And then it hit me, both barrels. I’d burnt out every resource my immune system had to take care of me. I’d physically depleted it, which means there was nothing left to take care of the virus I was unknowingly still carrying 🦠
I thought I’d done enough, I thought I was wise and strong enough to hack my way through it.
I was wrong.
I can honestly say I can’t remember having felt less physically at ease.
Why am I telling you this?
Because all too often we know something intellectually.
We understand.
We share the wisdom.
And not take it into ‘our being’.
I did that.
A lesson for me that clearly still needs learning.
Words I teach with such passion
“Meet yourself where you are, from moment to moment”
All you ever need to do 🙏
I forgot those words temporarily for myself.
My body has stilled me.
I lost a few days, but gained a life lesson. Time to reflect and realise.
I’m listening.
This is the very essence of being human. Sometimes we are blessed, and sometimes we have to learn.
……either is a blessing really. All part of our unique journey 🙏
A heartfelt apology to everybody that was booked onto the Crone Day Retreat today.
It wasn’t a decision I took lightly….. but one I definitely did not need to learn twice in quick succession 🫣
Thank you so very much for your kind words and understanding.
It means a lot 🫶🏻
See you soon
💗🙏💗
