I was thinking, We love to rescue animals, but when do we rescue ourselves?
Trauma, cptsd, chronic adrenal fatigue, very delicate nervous system, unpredictable/unreliable energy levels blah blah..
But I’ve come to believe I’m lucky. Maybe I’m not the one who’s missing out after all…
I’ve no choice but to slow down. And what a gift that is 💝
In a world that’s so chaotic, so busy, so unrelenting, so demanding, and becoming more so every day…
For literal decades 🥴 I desperately prayed for a break, for it to stop, to fast forward x number of years in the hope it would be better then.
I’ve finally got what I knew I needed all those years ago.
Ive been blessed with the opportunity to notice the unnoticed, to appreciate the small things, to find joy in the mundane, to learn the rhythms of my body and how to dance with it in the right way.
So what did I do?!
JUDGED MYSELF obvs 🙃 for not being able to do as much anymore, to be able to work like I used to, to train like I used to, to earn money like I used to, to be independent like I used to, for being less than, damaged, ashamed, not good enough…pushing myself to ‘get back to some sort of normality’.
After years of THAT, recently I realised - and laughed - at the absurdity of it 😂 god finally gave me to conditions that allow (force) me to slow down, heal, rest, enjoy the miracles of life - from a drop of rain on a feather to the meteors whizzing through space, and everything in between.
A chance to get to know, understand, and love my body and all it is capable of. To honestly build a loving relationship with myself (after all, it’s the longest relationship we’ll ever be in!).
So, no more 🙅🏼♀️ wishing I could be busier, wishing I had it in me to work full time again, wishing I could rattle though mad to-do lists day after day.
No more shame or guilt for not ‘delivering’ more to the world.
I am my greatest rescue project and I’m absolutely here for it 🥳
I’ve bloody earned this rest 😅 and I’m fully embracing it - the delicate dance across the rubble of my past. Skipping and singing, sometimes crawling and crying, just taking my time 😊
