53| ON THE MEND
I’ve been very sick the past two weeks. I had something with my gut and then my immune system took a hit from that and I got sick during that time. I’m still recovering as I type this. A handful of people were there for me and I feel so very blessed and thankful. People that texted me daily just to make sure that I was still hanging on. People sending me words of affirmations, because I was going stir crazy. The ones making sure that I got out of bed, ate or even drank water. Joe for being my nurse and helping me in ways I’d never be able to repay. I appreciate each and every single one of you.
A lot is going on behind the scenes in my personal life. Today it all felt like a lot. I checked in with people in my life that I knew would understand. And they helped bring me back down. It’s important to have people that you can say hey, I’m struggling today. And it be okay to do that.
If you’ve been around for a while you already know that this time of the year is usually triggering for me and this year is really heightened . It seems like the Holidays kick off every year earlier and earlier. I am trying to learn how to not let it trigger me as much. But it’s hard. I miss my mother as it is. When her transition anniversary is around what we’ve been programmed as it being the happiest time of the year… And it really is a happiest time for many and that’s cool. But just not my cup of tea anymore. And I’ll be honest, it hadn’t been that was for me before she’d even passed. I just need to not let it have as much power over my emotions. I need to ground. I need to recenter and do the things that I know help. I feel like I’ve been so caught up with everything else that’s going on that I feel off on my boundaries and spiritual practices. When that happens I feel out of it.
Stick around for part two… I will share one of the ways that I get back into my Spiritual practices and routine.
