So what did I do today ? For the first time in a very very long time I actually called in sick and did not go to my “feed the children job”…. Why ?
Well because I AM sick. I have a runny nose, painful throat and a temperature…
I’ve been feeling sick for 3 days now …
A few years back, I’d have pushed and taken enough paracetamol to keep me going and just plainly NOT LISTENED to my body. Today ?
I collected my courage and messaged that I would not be going…
While feeling slightly guilty nonetheless …
They messaged back that it made sense, that I should take care of myself …
So I did.
Work in progress here… I’m learning…
I took the paracetamol. Felt better. Thought about going anyway …
…
Thought again.
And decided to do differently.
“If you always do what you’ve always done,
you will always get what you’ve always got”
Said … Oh I don’t remember … Many clever guys I guess …
So I spent half my day in bed watching Christmas movies while drinking hot tea with lemon and honey (and blowing my nose…) and half sleeping … Bliss …
And I meditated … And I heard the message.
Loud and clear.
From Hestia, Greek Goddess of the Hearth (amongst other things).
Self-care is an act of Self-love.
And I do need more of that.
Defo.
Work in progress again …
And the other half of the day ?
Well since I had nothing planned … It felt like free time.
So I caught up on an online business course I bought that I was procrastinating about…
Guess what ?
I had so much fun (yes, I know, you light think I’m crazy but I love educating myself …)
Plus the course is amazing and is going to be sooo helpful in the next weeks as I go launching my online biz ..… I even had an epiphany (a story for some other time)
So on the whole ?
A beautiful day … Too bad I wasn’t listening to my body earlier … even earlier this week … I might have heard the need for rest … On the other hand, the message from the Universe and from my dear friend Goddess Hestia about self-care and self-love might not have been that clear to me…
Main thing I took out of this day ?
I can change the way I think and act. Then it changes the way I feel.
If I change… Everything changes.
And you know… If I can … you can !
Try it !
