Confessions on the Journey - over the past few days I have been feeling overwhelmed. I have been feeling As if life has been running ahead of me and I am playing catch up in the back like:

Everything has slowed down, the running on a Sunday's, my writing . As far as people, I could do without having to deal with many of them, at the slightest invitation I am ready to mouth off and cut them off.

Is this because a long break is due or maybe overdue?

2020 has been a different type of year, filled with even more uncertainties and shifting, it has called me into a space of surrender - I must admit I liked the space. I enjoyed the surrender of control, of wanting things to be a certain way, of responsibility- many times for the things that are filled with no substance!

What I did not like is that once I got comfortable with surrender, I was called to "go back out into the world" I was angry and upset that I had to find another way of being - or did I?

I believed that I did.

So being called into an entirely new space, I resisted.

The result of this resistance are my feelings of overwhelm. I don't want to DO anything so I am NOT DOING IT!

What has been happening? Things have been slipping.

What I have learnt from these feelings of overwhelm?

1. Rest - Rest Yourself. Resting yourself involves more than sleeping. It involves quiet time, it involves self care, it involves unplugging and sitting with your feelings

2. Do not ignore the signs - what is your life reflecting back to you? Life loves you enough to reflect to you what you must pay attention to

3. Feel all of your feelings - Feelings buried alive don't die

I have moves swiftly to book a get away for some quiet time!

Thank you for your patience in the meantime

Peace
