Reconnecting with myself is hard....... Because losing myself is easy. Its just so easy to lose myself with all the other areas that I get pulled into: being a wife, being a mother, being a friend, being an entrepreneur, etc... I submerge myself into my roles and usually I am the last on my own list. 😩
Now typing it here that just seems so bad because I constantly tell everyone that You should always put you first. If you don't have a full cup how can you pour into others. 🍶
Last year I had a shaman blessed my smoky quartz necklace and he told me things that my ancestors that walks with me were telling him. Things I had never told anyone, things that I were feeling and experiencing. It shook me to the core. He looked at me at one point and asked me
"When do you pour into others, is it when the cup is full or overflowing? " and I said "Both."
He looked at me, smiled and said, "You should only pour into others from the overflow not from your cup, your cup should always be full. That way you never have to worry about your cup emptying." He said it so simply and so matter of factually. It made perfect sense. Since then I have tried to keep my cup full. 🥤 With a full cup reconnecting is easy, its actually more like just taping in every once in a while.
However, over the last year its been a little hard. I have been distracted and feeling blah blah. So I really need to have "ME" time. Something easy:
*Meditate- I havent done that in awhile. Really need to do that. It calms my spirit and my mind. Especially with all that's going in the world meditating helps to clear the noise.
*Yoga- Ok so I havent done this one in awhile either. Stretching your body makes you feel so good, loose, and limber. Helps me sleep better at night too. Why haven't I done this in awhile??
*Driving to no destination- I miss this one. Gas prices messed this one up for me. Can't be burning gas like Im the Queen of England. lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣. But just driving listening to music and dancing in the drivers seat is one of the best feelings ever. Just riding and chilling, feeling the wind, and just cruising. I mean I drive everyday but its always with a destination and that's the most boring thing ever. I miss that excitement.
I have let my cup dip to low so now instead of tapping back into me I have to reconnect or actually finish reconnecting because there is some shadow work within myself that I really need to work on.
So in conclusion I just wanted to remind you to reconnect with yourself, don't wait to long, like me,b to reconnect and have to work as hard as I do to get back to my glowing peace.........
