7-Days Of Healing: Day 2

Day 2 and I don’t know about you but I’m feeling tired boo!!! But hey, at least we are here and we made it. Now for today’s prompt. It’s interesting because as I said yesterday, I never know what these prompts will bring up for me even though I put them together. Well, let me tell you today’s affirmation “CLARITY” was coming up in all parts of my life and sent me for a spin a few times. So my prompt response comes from that energy today.

My mind needs a minute to come down from the mental gymnastics it’s been doing on a daily basis. I feel the need to defend my body for all the work it has been doing but, my mind doesn’t want to hear that right now because it is neglected. Funny enough, I also went 2 weeks without therapy up until today because I was on bae-cation last week and man could you tell!

“Let Me REST” is what I hear over and over again. I don’t feel like rationalizing or justifying the exhaustion because that’s not the sacrifice I am choosing to make. I have one body, on vessel, in this lifetime and it needs me to respect it. Releasing that fear of judgment yesterday was to make room for CLARITY on where my energy is meant to be going right now and that’s to me. I need to find confidence in the moments I need to be selfish. Reminding myself that I deserve the same love I give, as much as anyone else does and I am not ashamed to desire that.

So, I need to show up for me right now, and listen to my mind as it reminds me to protect this vessel and respect it, not abuse it.

I feel a relief in my throat and my shoulders have relaxed. I give myself permission to rest and I will normalize this moving forward. I am not a martyr, I am a healer.
