When your body needs a hibernation.
My body and my brain have seriously been on one big sabbatical since my trip back in November with Chris and the kids to Bahamas. When I returned, I just couldn’t get myself back in to the swing of things; waking up early, writing, even my own yoga practice and gym sessions went to the wayside many days of the week.
My body craved more sleep, contemplation, reading, purging my house, couch time, The Young and The Restless (yup its true), HGTV, energy work, hot baths, adjustments, music and choosing to say NO a lot!
It was a weird experience for me, I am so used to having a hundred things happening at once and most times beginning the next thing before I even finish what I am already doing. But my body had other plans for me in December; it needed a small hibernation.
So I leaned in, I listened and said “ok”
Am I back to 100%? Nope, no I am not.
No, instead I feel a slow surge coming back on. I am back to writing which feels amazing, sleep is still a priority and begin a new training program at the gym shorty plus a small annual re-boot dietary wise for myself.
Nothing crazy, no master cleanse for 10 days, just listening to my body, having more green juices, whole-food smoothies, warming soups, oats of love, buddha bowls, plant-based foods and loads of herbal tea and clean water.
Plus my yoga and meditation will be a daily practice…5 minutes, 20 minutes, 1 hour who knows; I’m not measuring, counting or judging just waking up and feeling my way into it. It might happen on my mat, the carpet, standing in my kitchen, or brushing my teeth, whenever wherever the need strikes me.
This year; although at times from the outside it may look like the opposite, my inside job is one that includes more of being less doing and way more feeling
Off to bed I go:-)
Sending lots of love your way
