It’s February and the world is getting to me. Time to slow down and process and build up my self care. I know I need to have some daily stress busters ready in my back pocket to help digest and release stress.
Lately I really need to breathe. So I added more breathing self care to my morning routine to connect and relax. In the modern world we have to promote relaxation and minimize our stress.
Chronic Lyme hogs resources to the point of exhaustion. It creates a huge amount of stress in our life. Without strict stressor management overwhelm can really hurt you. Hurt your healing progress. You just have to stay on track with care prioritize the positive.
The world is full of intellectual and emotional stressors violent TV, facts alternative facts and fake news. You have to digest what you allow into your life or it just builds up and stresses you out. All this undigested junk depresses as much as excess weight or lack of sleep. Overwhelm taxes our immune response.
Right now the world is churning from change. While I want to stay informed I know I can’t abandon my self care. I have to keep health and wellness on the top of the list or things will not get better.
All this anger in the media trips a deep familiar reaction in me. When I am overwhelmed, I go dark and anxious. I neglect medicines and get less sleep. This disturbs me body and soul, you can bet it doesn’t help me feel good.
I don’t want to stay immersed in the agitation of dark, angry frustrating rhetoric, when more healing opportunities (light, laughter and learning) abound? I need to remember I have choice. Remember to choose things that elevate vibration. I can write or go for a walk, do a healing treatment, or read or get together with friends.
Don’t get me wrong, be an activist about what matters to you. Go to the “Women’s March” or the “Right to Life March” participate in what is truly important to you. Connect in with influence-rs and make your beliefs known.
Take action, to help but stay positive. So listen to the news then do some conscious breathing. Feel a sense of worry seek refuge in mantra to quickly shift perspective. If you are managing a chronic illness take your medicine and get enough sleep while you put yourself out there.
Get positive and use light to heal our bodies and shift our world.
Actively focus your life to on the positive and invite the positive in. Select, beauty, joy and high vibration where there is choice and digest the low vibration where there isn’t. When you have a chronic illness reduce the stuff that brings you down, chronic illness is a constant companion with its own weight, you don’t need any extra.
