I do love a timely post when it appears in my newsfeed from a wellbeing practitioner! I feel like it’s a nudge from the universe to say “Yes! You’re on the right track! Keep moving this way please!”
This week I have found myself reaching emotional, mental and physical overload, after being carer for my children and husband for the past few weeks as each took it in turns to fight off a nasty virus. As any mother will know, when you combine this role with the demands of working, overwhelm can quickly result if you’re not taking care of your own needs too.
Today when I felt my body fighting off the same virus, I reached overwhelm. I did something I don’t usually do, I stopped and gave myself permission to lie down on my bed for an hour and just be in the moment. The message I got when I let go of my thinking and just listened related to meditation and the need to make space more often to do it. To let go of the need to do the cooking, cleaning, washing, grocery shopping, studying, working and most importantly, the constant need to be doing, doing, doing that forms part of my every day. I spend so much of the time I have when my children are at school running around like crazy doing the above, that I’ve forgotten how to stop, let go of the to do list and just be in the moment.
The beautiful feeling of freedom and peace I experience being in the moment in meditation is amazing and I have often found myself resistant to come out of this meditative state and be reacquainted with my thoughts that tell me what I should be doing on my to do list.
My goal this week, month and year is to incorporate this feeling of freedom and wellbeing into my every day life through meditation.
Namaste likeminded souls.
