Gentleness with Self

I had a different blog for today that just needed a little polishing, but then I got slammed with a brutal cold and couldn’t think clearly enough to finish it.

In my acceptance of being under the weather, I realized that rather than judging myself and asking what was wrong with me that I got sick, I chose to tell a new story of expansion around this illness. I've been stretching a lot lately and I believe that some old, limiting stuff needed to shake out. And maybe I needed the extra downtime to aid that.
 
I’m willing to see this as an opportunity to give myself more love as I rest and take care of me. I think we forget that when we get sick. We blame the body or go into reaction, rather than holding a sacred space of healing for ourselves.
 
But, holding the body in love and gratitude are the very things needed to more gracefully move through whatever is going on physically.
 
So, find a way to hold a sacred space for yourself today. Maybe that means resting when you’re tired, going for a walk, exercising, quiet time, or simply enjoying the summer weather. And if you do feel under the weather in anyway, give your body the extra love it needs. That's the way to heal beautifully.
