Learning to relax
Hey peeps!
If you know me, you’d know that I always have bunches of projects and do-it-yourself-or-I’ll-do-it-for-you ideas running through my head. However, with the recent burst of work activity and having no time for American Idol, facebooking, contacting my fams, hangin’ with pals and the like, I’ve been forced to take a step back.
On the road to RECOVERY
–Quiet meditation
–Doing nothing
–Listening to my needs
A breakthrough occurred on Phu Quoc Island where I spent one day doing whatever I felt like. I slept when I wanted, ate when I felt like it, read and wrote, and just chilled at the beach. I wondered when the last time I did something like that was….and you know what the answer was? NEVER! (Pretty sad, I know :()
Gal with OBLIGATIONS
I’m not too sure if it’s just me but something in my upbringing/nature causes me to think about others and to be of assistance at all times. I don’t usually put myself first and although I definitely think that I shouldn’t be selfish etc., I have to admit that sometimes it is good to be concerned with one’s own thoughts and wants. For whatever reason, self-sacrifice is a part of me….I shouldn’t be so dramatic cuz it’s not really a big deal at all.
BUT I’m glad that I’m learning to chill. Today was one of those days where I just lolled around and it was nice. I didn’t do too much except eat and sleep and listen to music and chat w/my buds and now write this post but it was a much needed “me” day.
I dunno if you’re the chill or the rush type of person, but I’m now in favour of letting go and being less scheduled in my life. There is beauty in the moment.
Peace out!
