Out of Sorts

Today, I am feeling ‘out of sorts’ so my blog is about that and tiredness as that is what is happening today.

What am I doing about it?

I have cancelled an appointment with my Acupuncturist and I am returning to my bed to rest and feel cosy and warm.  I am taking time out!

Tiredness

 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…….  Some of you may 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.   I’m saying ‘well done’ to me right now that I’ve decided to cancel and go back to bed.

Some of you may find out that tiredness isn’t always a boring place.   It can be a signal that it’s time to take care of yourself.  The taking time to rest (be) and time to do whatever is important, and choosing to leave anything else for when you are more able is what is important.

Rut = a shallow grave

 Now I want to bring in the fact that 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 the same 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?

Ebb and flow

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 – whatever one you choose?

This time it may be one of the more restful colours you choose.   You see, you need those resting times to breathe in to AND if you stay too long then they can become boring – become your cage, your prison that saps your energy.  Remember it is about you choosing your colour!

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?

It may be that you choose to come on one of my next Residential Retreats!!!
