Activity

It’s been a bit of a turbulent week. Work has been stressful and bordering on overwhelming this week. The entire family has been sick (starting with my daughter last week who is now better) with bad colds and it finally hit me hard yesterday. Had to take today off. Feeling worse today than I did yesterday. My daughter is showing signs of the same stress and overwhelm at school that I felt when I was her age. Has a difficult time with noise and a lot of activity. Wants to spend recess alone in a quiet room rather than play with other kids but this isn’t an option for her. Contacting her teacher and a child psychologist to talk over concerns and come up with strategies. Not making her wrong for her experience and being a safe space for her to be herself is still the best thing we can do and are doing for her….Taking this opportunity to welcome in the overwhelm and feel gratitude for its presence. Truth is I don’t feel overwhelmed. Some plans had to change, yes. I noticed any resistance to this when it came up and quickly released it, recognizing the choice point presented to me to believe my story and suffer for it or to flow with it and be centered and grateful. And none of the things I described are earth shattering events. Certainly, those will come and the way I show up for myself and others during these day to day ups and downs will be the way I show up for the major life changes. I feel balanced and centered in my Self, my truth in this moment. And abundance and gratitude for the challenges I described and the opportunity to have them at all.
