Hello! It has been sometime since I last wrote a blog post. Over two months to be exact. In full transparency, I needed time to rest. I was doing too much! Over working, barely sleeping, helping people as much as I could, and stressing! As a result, my body subtly started to cue me with “hey sit down somewhere”. Did I listen to those cues, nope! I continued my busy schedule.
In directly, the universe sent signs through amazing doctors, dentists, and my momma. All parties telling me to chill out, caught my attention. The buildup of self-induced stressed was not worth my life. I knew I needed to make changes to get the stress off me. Me being me, before I could chill out I wanted to get very clear on what that process would look like. I can admit, I over think and over plan…working to shift from this behavior.
In my hiatus a lot of good changes were made. I reduced my workload and gained schedule flexibility. I celebrated my birthday with a dreamy bohemian picnic. Thank you to everyone who wished me happy birthday and sent meaningful gifts. I have gotten back to a regular workout routine. I have more time to study. I have time to rest. My stress levels have drastically dropped!
With learning to live stress free, not going to lie I began to feel guilty. I felt like I should be doing something or be busy. It took me sometime to embrace the art of doing nothing. Literally, doing nothing! I believed in the societal notion of overworking to earn my leisure, which is not the case.
What I now know is that we are all deserving of a life of leisure. Overworking and getting to the bag in a stressful way is a joke. The type of lifestyle society suggests we should be living is not sustainable. We should focus on the art of doing nothing. We should enjoy the sweetness of life daily, and not just on weekends and vacations. In doing nothing, clarity enhances, creativity expands, manifestations come quicker, and we embody gratitude for life.
Right now, I am on the journey of embracing the art of doing nothing. Granted, I still have responsibilities (adulting does not stop) but I determine how much of my time is allocated to those responsibilities. No longer will I go back to a lifestyle of trading all my time for money. It is not worth it!
I will be sharing updates on my progress.
Until next time,
-Peach
