Self Acknowledgement
Self Acknowledgement is an important piece in celebrating each day’s successes, which I spoke about a couple of posts ago with the idea of “to-do” lists. So today I want to take a moment and do just that.
In expanding my business alongside seeing my current clientele and taking care of needs at home, I often feel like I have more to do than I have time for. And this happens day after day after day. Sometimes pushing hard to get a specific project done is needed and worthwhile; however, because my tasks are more constant than isolated, living in the space of all work and no pause doesn’t serve me. Yet, I find that I can often get stuck in that “doing all the time” mode.
Yesterday was a similar day. I had two meetings and a class which took up a large chunk of my day leaving me feeling like I hadn’t had time to work on some other items that needed addressing. Yet I also acknowledged that I hadn’t exercised the day before nor had I done the amount of yoga I was looking for. So for today, I want to acknowledge that I was able to set aside my compulsion to keep going and instead made a different choice…a choice to nourish me inside and out. After getting the kids moving towards bed and their reading space, I took the time to ride my exercise bike, do a set of yoga, enjoy two meditations and then deeply renewed with a long corpse pose while listening to yogic music. Then, instead of acting on the inspiration I received in my meditation, I simply wrote down the threads of key thoughts and went to bed! Which allowed me to rise this morning earlier and ground in with some morning rituals, office organization, and computer tasks before starting my day. How refreshing.
I acknowledge myself for taking care of myself with nourishing activities that recharge not only my body but my spirit and allow me to move through life with greater balance and ease.
