Hi everyone!
I literally CAN NOT WAIT to share what I’ve been learning in
my new course. Don’t want to be too excited about it but I can’t believe how
much I’m liking it! I want to introduce a segment on my blog for the lifestyle
called ‘THE (T)EA IN TALK’ which I just thought of yesterday. If I think
about it too long it starts to not make sense so I’m running with it!
As I’m trying to navigate through January I’m realizing how
strong I’ve become because as per my previous post you can imagine that
I haven’t had the best start to the year but in the back of my mind I secretly
know that 2017 will be the best year EVER! I’m not just saying that because I
hope that will happen but because I’m not going to repeat the same mistakes of
2016. It’s as if my lungs are just recharged (if you were with me physically, I
would have said relunged) HAHA!! Omw, what’s wrong with me?
So! With all of this happening I can definitely say that it
is hard for me to be charged up all the time. I’m also learning how to drive
which has been the worst because I grew up being terrified of driving (My mom
is a nervous wreck when she tries to teach me so she freaks out, cries and
gives up and my father never owned a car) so I don’t have the best background
when it comes to this which is adding block to my progress because I want to be
completely independent.
So this week every day (planning to do this till end of
January) I’ve been spending some quiet time looking out to the undisturbed
plantation at my backyard and catching up on some magazines that I bought but
never read. I've also been taking really long baths with scented salts and candles to treat my body. It’s been so lovely that I’ve actually started looking forward to
it.
What’s the goal with
alone time?
·
So many things rushing in my head. I just want
some silence and sometimes the only way to do that is to introduce new and
fresh info (like magazine articles and reading people's stories)
·
To really look at myself in a calm state and
actually say…despite what’s happening, I WILL BE OKAY.
·
To actually let something sink in well enough to
make a decision. E.g: I’ve been stressing about finding a suitable new flatmate
since I kicked out my brother in Dec (he contributed to my daily stress) but
I’ve processed the situation well enough to know that if I don’t find someone I
need to find another place to live.
·
It frees me from my writer’s block that I’ve had
for months!
·
It helps me deal with my reality
·
It de-stresses my body. I’m the type of person
who gets physical signs of stress. Which is highlighted mostly by extreme
fatigue, extreme tension headaches and sometimes by a runny stomach. Sometimes
I neglect my diet which leads to obvious weight gain and on other days I don’t
eat at all which then leads to dizziness and extreme insomnia.
·
It helps me plan. Sometimes there’s so much to
do and so little time and resources so I you can plan and make compromises –
you can deal with it better!
Quiet time might sound like a waste of time but I truly
advice you try it when your world is going for a spin (other than the spin the
Earth already makes) LOL, Omw. Invest in YOU!
LOVE,
