This week my blog is about tiredness as that is what I am feeling today – even only dealing with about 90% of the things I have had to address on our return from a week’s holiday.
Here, I am talking about the tiredness that can come from a reason – late nights (good and bad); exercising; worrying; too much TV/computers; dealing with too many issues……. You’ll know why you are tired and you’ll be compassionate with yourself – even praise yourself for still going through the motions of using your energy appropriately.
This isn’t a boring place as it can be satisfying to see how you take care of yourself. Taking time to rest (be) and time to do whatever is important and choose to leave the others for when you are more able.
Then there is the tiredness that comes from not stretching yourself in any shape or form – no exercise – same numbing ruts (remember it means a shallow grave) – no excitement – no adventure – no fun and laughter – just plain old BORING routine.
Yes, your routine or ruts can become so boring that you want to scream or run away or shut yourself in a room and not come out. Or you over-eat or over-drink or any number of other things you know you do.
You can become despondent and non-communicative – only responding to life when it speaks to you. You just have no energy to give out and everything seems grey and boring. People and life pass you by as they move on.
Now I am sure that this doesn’t apply to you – or does it?
I wonder what would happen if you looked at you in the mirror with compassion and love and invited you out to play in the colour of life’s rainbow?
You see, you need those resting times to breathe into AND if you stay too long then they can become boring – become your cage that saps your energy.
Some questions for you – What do the colours of the rainbow mean for you? How do you give yourself the fuel for your energy to engage with the world?
In other words, how do you take care of you and go with the ebb and flow of life?
Let me know so we can all learn.
