Not Feeling Well Today And Finding It Hard To Unplug

Have you ever been slammed with a cold, illness, or injury and felt guilty for taking time off or surrendering to it to heal and get better?

I am going through that today.

Got a bad head cold and thought I'd push through and get some things done that need to get done. But as I sit here in the coffee shop and blow my constantly running nose and sneeze intermittently, I realize I am not as creative or as present as I need to be. (Plus, I am sure I am not popular with the customers). As a result I have not been as focused or as effective as I should be.

I have to follow my own teachings and surrender to it from a higher perspective.

I've had a pretty rough month as my Step mom is in hospital with a brain bleed and rapidly declining mental capacity. She won't be coming home and needs to go to a nursing home for the rest of her days. which we don't think will be long. Plus, I am taking care of my 91 year old dad and helping my him navigate these difficult and uncertain waters. I'll have to get him into a retirement home soon as he can't be left on his own for long.

So I think the stress of everything has lowered my immune system and wanting me to take some time to rest and relax and stop the constant "doing". That's hard for me as I am focused on a few tangents on the business front.

But rest I must, or I an sense the Universe is going to create something much louder for me to pay attention to.

If you are going though some health issues or tough times. It might be a sign to breathe, slow down and take stock of where you are at. Sure, you can try to "hustle" your way through it, but the body is a wonderful machine and it will let you know when you are running on empty. Pay attention to it so you are not left having to stall-out...or worse.

It's okay. You'll recalibrate and come back even stronger soon enough.

As soon as I press "Post", I'm going home and taking the rest of the day to look after myself, and trust that everything is perfectly timed and that I can also invite some ease and grace into the equation.

You've got this!

Be Remarkable!
