People are water they need to be free
They need to explore more what they want to be
We cannot be keepers of anyone's key
We have to live in a way that sets em free
And darling believe me there will come a time
When the earth with shake and the stars will align
And you won't have to beg for anyone's time
So just believe everything will be fine

Deep breath. Relax your shoulders. Unclench your teeth. Release the tension between your eyes. Loosen your ears. Deep breath again.

Now go kick some ass.

Take the airplane oxygen mask for example ...

They always say you have to put your own mask on first, before your dependents. And why is that?

Because you help no one when you're dead.

And so it is the same spiritually. Emotionally. Physically.

When you spend and share and expend all your energy trying to tend to everyone else...without making sure your roots are strong and sound, without making sure you've had adequate water and rest...you eventually get to a place where you're either drained...or burnt out. And how that energy crashes when you get to that point.... can unravel everything you've been working towards. This is where people often become self-destructive.

Caring for yourself isn't a task or an agenda item....it is a daily practice. It's something that needs to be done regularly, routinely and expectantly.

You deserve as much.

Taking care of YOU isn't a chore or a task. It is a way of life. One that you should have been taught long ago. But if you weren't, you can choose to build it into your life now.

What is something you do every day or every week to take care of yourSelf?

Loving this song (fun one to improv dance with my daughter to as well before bedtime)

“You don’t need another Human Being to make your life complete, but let’s be honest. Having your wounds kissed by someone who doesn’t see them as disasters In your soul, but cracks to put their love into, Is the most calming thing In this World.”

― Emery Allen

I always feel like I'm prepared for the next round of bullshit
.... And then the emotions rise. And my head hurts. And I'm just like...... Save me.

???

Anyway.. apparently I'm not alone with having a splitting headache today. Anyone else?

Looks like Ar Nee’s on the same frequency today too ??

I usually don't...do that. But I am genuinely curious about everyone's thoughts. I'm having fun with this convo btw - laughing. So if this gets your knickers twisted....go walk it off pls and thank you ???

If you want to jump to the first message...
