The last several days I have been leaning into a mighty cold.
My old approach was to push through and keep going. And in some ways, I’ve still done that. In the aspect that I’m not sitting around feeling sorry for myself.
As I journey along though, I’ve definitely shifted how I navigate these challenges. I’ve finally connected to the acceptance that it’s ok to slow down if that’s what the body is asking for.
That’s NEVER been easy for me. My survival in this lifetime since childhood has always been pushing through all the hard things. Literally my survival depended on it. (Thats a sad knowingness too so also tending to that inner child)
After serveral years of mindful nervous system work, I’ve finally settled into the knowingness that it’s safe for me to slow the pace if that’s what’s needed.
Of course I battled with guilt of having to move clients around but I’ve also come to know that the clients that give me grace in times of need are the type of clients that I’ve attracted and I’m so grateful for them! If they aren’t good at grace, they will move onto a people pleaser provider that will be willing to drain themselves at the expense of keeping everyone happy.
It’s been amazing to be with my system as it’s worked through this cold virus. Sometimes I needed rest and other times the body called for movement. Sometimes food/nourishment was needed, other times fasting. And lots of fresh herbal teas from the garden herbs. And I’m listening.
Also feeling my blessings as I’m planted in the most stunning land that I could ever dream of. Nature always reminds me to match her pace and everything will always unfold perfectly with little to no effort.
For this born “DO-ER” and work hard personality, I have needed that reminder a million times.
Thank you Mother Nature for your humbling reminders.
We would be a much happier and healthier nation if we adopted her pace 🙏💕
