Sometimes we find ourselves feeling forlorn.
Sometimes, bed feels like the best and only place to be. Sometimes, we just feel spent.
I realize that, for me, laying in bed [in my deeply seeded thoughts] I think of it as lazy. This is a learned concept. I know it is.
I also know that I can change this concept. So, I sit here open to doing just this…
It can feel great to lay in bed and allow calmness to enter my entire being.
I have been learning to call relaxation my healing time as I realize it takes away the guilt that I have learned to associate with relaxing. Relaxing was not a positive thing growing up. Doing and being out was what I learned were more productive and maybe even the only options.
I think ‘doing’ and ‘being out [in the world]’ are great things. They are appealing. I want to believe that laying in bed and letting go is just as productive and appealing, especially when my body and mind are craving it.
It seems to be coming back, again, to the concept of balance for me; the need of balance.
The balance of being productive while doing and also while just being…
May I offer you just being in your life with complete release of guilt, shame and anxiousness.
May you know what your body is asking of you. May you check in with your open mind. May you give yourself what you ask of yourself from the deepest, most truest place inside of you.
Perhaps, this is productivity at its finest…
Follow your gut instinct and you will be the most productive possible. Let kindness and compassion participate. Let the truth of what you feel be noticed, embraced, loved and allowed.
You just being you is the reason your unique self is here now, right where you are… May you believe and allow.
Try it. It just may be the best gift you can give to yourself and to (y)our world.
May we love ourselves through.
Namaste.
