What a relief, as where I am the weather has been 30 degrees and then we have had thunder and lightning storms like you have never seen before.
Can’t believe what’s been happening here in the South East of England, and also to me (never mind anyone else).
For example, I shower every morning – then go to say my exercise class and need to shower again – or go out and about and come in and I look as though I have just had a shower. The sweat is running off me, I’m all hot and sweaty and I look like a red tomato in the face – lovely!!
So what a relief to come in and let go – take of my bra (let it all hang out or down); change into the most comfortable shorts and ‘T’ shirt I can find and go barefooted around the house or into the shade in the garden.
Also what a relief it is to have the rain – maybe not the thunder and lightning though. I went out into the garden and it was lovely to feel the rain on my face and body. I didn’t care as my hair simply goes curlier and curlier so no problem.
You just need to have the pressure allowed out/taken off so that you can breathe into the stillness that comes and everything is greener and fresher – even if still warm.
Sometimes too, I am so busy trying to avoid the heat that I don’t take the time to simply accept that I am lucky in that I can take care of myself by say showering, bra off, casual clothes …
When I give full acceptance of that reality, that I have that freedom, then I can have gratitude that my life is what it is. And it may change – but right now it is what it is.
I am what I am – ‘Sweaty Betty’ or Irene.
I’d love to hear what you do when the weather is unusually very hot and stormy.
