Have you checked in with yourself lately? I found myself in my head quite a lot in the past week. I can say I been taking information in and it was overwhelming in some ways. A lot of conspiracy theories, people exposing truths, misinformation. I was overwhelmed because from different sources different stories. I decided to stop as I recognised it was too much.
I asked myself, what is the truth for me? What do I believe is best for me right now? Perhaps take a break from scrolling through my phone, specially tick tock as you I can get lost in there sometimes. There was a voice in the back of my head saying to get off and do something that will benefit you more. Have you had voice saying just switch the Fucking phone off, its enough now! At some point I believe we all have. I did and directed my focus and energy else where.
I took some time outside, went for long walk in the nature, I have to say as I entered the forest I took a deep breath in and I felt free and at home. I felt like a lot has dropped from my shoulders and there was nothing, absolutely nothing to worry about at that moment apart from wondering around the forest. Few times I stopped by certain trees and really took moment to be around them and how I felt in my body.
l felt like I could breathe and I was free of distractions. How amazing, as I walked I came across some cows. I stopped and pet some. Some of them even licked my hands. I think that was the first time that's ever happened to me, but little moment of realisation that it's animal like any other so I can pet cows haha.
Sometimes we forget that nature holds different energy, more harmonising within our bodies and it's energy field affect our energy field too. You, me, earth, nature, everything is energy. But different things hold different vibration, frequency. Good to remember that the invisible to the human eye can also affect our body, health and being. City full of wifi's, electronics will also affect our body in different ways.
Nature helps to harmonise the body, mind, being.
We forget this sometimes. so here is little reminder. Anyway, so I took some time out did some exercise and also l was in quiet space. Literally lying in my bed staring at the wall and observing my mind chatter and thoughts. Specially lately I am talking 2 months ish I am embracing being in stillness (without phone, TV, music, anything that could distract me) during the day, because I found that I get more clarity, answers and understanding, my mind slows down and I am embracing just being, sometimes I journal, sometimes I draw. Sometimes I find myself stretching, consciously breathing, basically just paying more attention to my body, what I feel.
It is so easy to get disconnected, all it takes is to stare at your mobile phone screen. Just be aware of it little more and you will know what I am talking about. For someone like me it's also quite hard not to do anything. I like to be proactive, doing something all the time so being in stillness can be fucking hard work sometimes. The reason I am mentioning this is because when we constantly do something, even when we really don't want to do, can give us sense of worthiness. Felling worthy doing nothing can be tricky but If I was totally happy with myself, with what I am doing how I am and not measuring worthiness by doing stuff I would be quite happy doing nothing and feel worthy. Well something to think about here.
Also it's ok to admit that sometimes we can get stuck, go around circles, unsure, confused. That's why it's worth while to pause and reflect.
Here are questions that could help you to check in with yourself.
Am I overwhelmed right now? (if yes, what can I do to take some time out?)
How am I feeling lately?
When do I feel in peace?
Are my current worries very serious?
Much Love
