You always seem to write about exactly what I need to hear at the time. For the past month or so I have had a different physical ailment every weekend that has sat me down on my ass, forced me to cancel plans, and ask for help with kids. The feeling of helplessness and worthlessness has been just as painful as the physical pain I’ve been experiencing. It feels like someone or something else is fed up with me not listening and is forcefully taking the reins and giving me no other choice but to slow down. I’m not really sure what the lesson is and why this keeps happening but I’m trying to have faith that there is a bigger better plan out there for me.
I’m sorry you’ve been struggling with your health. It’s especially hard when others rely on you for their basic needs and suddenly you’re not able to meet them. It’s been very humbling to let my husband care for us and also just let some things go.
We’ve been having various health challenges (taking turns, thankfully!) since last December and I’m not sure what the lesson is yet either. It definitely feels like I’m being put in repeated time out/time in, called to slow down and really nourish myself.
What I especially loved about this vulnerable sharing, was your clarity of the connection between your body and your recent emotional/mental experiences! I think this knowing is a big part of the medicine of the times…I am trusting your Wellness! And the beautiful expansion that comes from times like these 💓
Wish you better and I appreciated your poem and thoughts on failure. We all fail and rise constantly, I call it learning, especially when it’s painful. ❤️🩹
Thank you, Susan! It’s not always easy to be a student of life—my sister reminded me it actually requires a lot of humility. But I don’t see the falling or the failing slowing our little one down at all. How to be more like him! ☺️
Thank you Emma! I’m still in it but coming out the other side with a lot more clarity and appreciation. Sometimes our body lovingly gets our attention when our mind needs extra support. Thank you for reading! 💗

Oh, Naomi. Are we living parallel lives? 😂🤦♀️ 💗

Here in it with you ❤️
“Time out” is a great way to put it 😅
And I really love your beautiful and descriptive writing. Especially this line, “Nothing is going well, I insist, fueling the anxiety flames higher.”
