How do you nourish yourself?

It can be so easy for some of us to get stuck in the go, go, go, do, do, do pattern. For me, once I get into this pattern, it’s hard for me to break it. I wind myself up and just want to accomplish. This is what I am working on. For whatever reason, it’s really hard for me to listen, slow down, and take care of myself.

It’s important to remind yourself that you are enough as you are- that your worth is not a reflection of your productivity, who you are with, or what you are doing.  As an extremely sensitive, very thoughtful, and introspective person, I actually really need this downtime to process and digest.  However, over the past year, for the first time in my life, I  developed this inner dialogue- I am not enough- it's very quiet, but it's there, buried deep.  This weekend I fell into a bit of a comparison trap, and honestly fell into moments of loneliness. However, in the midst of these moments, I was able to step back, recognize, remind my self of how simply amazing and radiant I am.  I was blessed to connect with some very special friends who vibrate on the same level as me, which lifted me up, and I shared exactly how it was that I was feeling- alone, not enough, and frustrated to be honest. Thank goodness for these beautiful lights, I am fortunate enough to call me friends, soul sisters.

Connection is so important. Talking about your vulnerabilities and insecurities reminds us that we are not alone in these struggles. We must face how we are feeling, stare it down, and accept it, see it, and honor it. It is the only way to move forward.

I am a pretty sensitive individual who, thinks deeply,  gives all I have and absorbs everything.  So, I must take downtime to charge up, reconnect, to process, breathe, and digest, and while I did face a few moments of disconnect, gratitude brought me back to the center. At this moment in my life, I can truly spend time taking care of myself, nourishing my body, heart, and soul, and I must soak it up as much as possible, appreciate it, and seize this opportunity for growth.

My sense of self is so much greater than these superficial boxes and images we put ourselves, portray socially, and cover our selves with. It’s moments like this photo about, where I am alive, connected, and in contact with the inner self, that is always, calm, full of gratitude, full of love, and abundant with light and love.

It’s moments like these that I am nourished. Deeply nourished.
