We are robust. We can handle a great deal and soldier on with our heavy load. But who asked us to bear such a burdon? Do our families, our employers, our friends ask us to take on the world? Often, we test our strengths by pushing our limits, perhaps in the name of self-improvement. But acknowledging when to pull the chute and rescue ourselves may be a far greater strength. We care for our futures far more when we stop and say "enough". Breaks, extending deadlines and requesting a hand can help us through the rougher days. When do you know to pull the chute?
Take care of yourself today.

DeleteI am so guilty of this!! Expecting so much more of myself that I would ever expect from others. I love how these posts make me realize healthy improvements that I can make. Thank you Vanessa!
ReplyDeleteYou are most welcome. Yes, we have more work to do than we realize but it is all part of the journey, the expansion the welcoming of new energy.

ReplyDeleteWhen my life is unmanageable. When I'm in H.A.L.T., you know what I mean.
When I don't think I have the time to meditate, pray or otherwise invest in myself. When due to my perception of time pressures, I'm feel I'm unable to make time to don my spiritual armor. You know, the protection that enables me to handle the slings and arrows of everyday living.

Vanessa, I wanted to send you an e-mail based on our conversation at my place, but I don't see one listed. Would it be possible to send a note to my e-mail address. We can take it from there.
My address: pfnts@netscape.net
Thanks!
Spiritual armour!! I love it. It is great to be so connected to yourself that you can easily read the signs of stress. This must have taken years of practice. Have you always been so in tune with yourself?
