Yeah Yeah I know… I know. It’s been a couple weeks since anything has been posted. In many respects I could try to allow myself the excuse of “I had a lot going on”. Even though that is true, it doesn’t change that I should have been more prepared for situations like that to happen. So I apologise for that.
However, don’t get too worried or sad about it. I am going to make it up to you; stay tuned over the weekend is all I’m going to say about that business.
I guess my first post back since my 3-week unplanned hiatus should be about my comeback. The smart cookies in the group may have thought to themselves that, “if I slid on my duties to the blog and website, then I must have fallen in other areas too”. And the answer to that is yes. I did trip up on other things as well. My meditation went out the window, so did my mindfulness exercises, among other things.
What I realised, was that those exercises and habits had become so integrated into my way of doing things. That not doing them had a physical impact on my body. My sleep pattern shifted in the wrong direction, my choice in meals creeped towards crappy foods that aren’t healthy, even my thoughts felt more scattered and my skin became worse.
It’s funny because people always talk or fantasise about having freedom to do whatever you want. In a way, even though I was still getting a lot done in regards to work and study, I had given myself the freedom to slack off. Since then I have given myself permission to rein in my foolishness and instead re-establish the binding chains and harness that are my wellness routines. That is true freedom in my opinion, living a life of daily bliss.
I know this post might not make much sense, it’s more just my ramblings about the experience that was these past couple weeks. This post is more a prompt for myself, that it is time to return to who I am. Also, it gives you another example of me messing up, but trying again. Hopefully, you can take that as a form of encouragement… up to you I guess.
But thank you to all my Hedites that still came around to the website during those dark days. You are the best people ever.
