Self care is so important. Taking time to rest, refresh, to just breathe. Lately I have been going through so much....stress and anxiety. In the end, it cost me something that is so precious in this world. I forgot to take care of myself, take care of my body. I was pulled in so many directions, pushing my limits, and overwhelmed. Sometimes going through it all alone, sometimes I had loved ones to lean on but I didn't lean on them. I need to learn to say "I'm busy". I need to learn to say "No I just can't right now". I lost this precious little piece of me....
A friend sent me this message and I think I will apply it to my life. I need to make more time for myself and care for myself.
"I lied and said I was busy.
But in fact I was busy, just not in a way most would understand.
I was busy taking deeper breaths. I was busy silencing irrational thoughts. I was busy calming a racing heart. I was busy telling my self I am ok.
Sometimes, this is my "busy", and I will not apologize for it."
It doesn't really matter to me what you have faith in. We all have a higher power of some sort that we turn to in times of need or just in general.
A higher power can be a type of medication for most of us.
According to Phillip L. Jones, meditation teacher and licensed clinical social worker in Columbia, Mo., “When we have faith and give ourselves to a spiritual practice, whether prayer, meditation or mindful movement like tai chi and yoga, we find ourselves soothed by moments of peace, acceptance, and strength that arise in the stillness and presence. Healing can come from this, whether a cure does or not.”
A placebo effect, or belief tat something works is very powerful.
Poked in the eye by my dog's paw

Since I got home at an unusual hour, my dogs were overzealous and jumped and smothered me with affection. Laying in bed with me they both snuggled up with me. I was just driffting asleep, my hand stopped petting Sage and the next thing I know I get paw in the eye!
WTF? Because I stopped petting you?
I took tylenol for the pain. I have slight swelling. Burning sensation in the eye. Went to the eye doctor and he said my eye was ok. But i feel like shit.
