Hey Quester’s, how are you, hope you are showing the world your happy and
confident nature? I’ve been fixing up a few half-finished projects – discipline
is definitely the answer in getting those finished. More work to be done
though! I find I’m very tired in the last few weeks so let’s think about
whether or not we know how to read the signals that tell us to slow down.
We all have times when we want to retreat to the couch with a blanket,
hot chocolate and a good book. Its winter in Australian and winter is designed
to slow us down providing we are listening. A bit of rest, comfort and
consolidation is needed in colder months or any other time your mind, body and
soul is calling out to you. Parents know how to comfort tired or sick children,
but often don’t pay enough attention to their own needs. If you need more
sleep, go to bed earlier or take an afternoon nap. Maybe sit outside with a few
blankets around you and watch nature’s glorious display, (nothing too taxing on
the intellect).
The body is amazing but you can still work it too hard. Be kind to
yourself by listening to those inner hints – the housework and other projects
can wait. Try delegating if there are other capable people in your household. The
world won’t end if you relinquish control for a few days. Give others a chance
to show their kindness and leadership skills. In this time consolidate your
thoughts and appreciate your place in the world. Rest and take comfort in small
pleasures. You’ll know it times to get back to energetic or creative projects,
but for now enjoy relaxation and simple joys.
