Slow the f*** down
I've been down and out for the past week because I've run myself into the ground. The advice that I was given from SK and my spiritual team was to consistently slow down and take one thing at a time - something that I ignored! Well, as we know, my spiritual team has a way of forcing you to slow down when my soul is crying out for it, so they threw a cough and fatigue at me which put me out of work for 2 days and made me cancel my plans for the weekend to get the much needed rest.
Having essentially taken 3 full days off, my Sunday was a slow one to allow me to finish one of my final assessments and just get some house work done. On Monday, I felt a lot better, albeit a cough that came back once in a while, and better yet, Monday was my birthday.
The day started off great - I received heaps of birthday messages, beautiful birthday cards with a message for me written from the heart (it was so touching), presents, etc. I had organised a few close friends to dinner with me that night and let's just say I drank way too much that night and stayed up very late which meant I wasn't feeling very well the next day at all. I somehow managed to get into work but it went all downhill from there. Downhill to the point that I felt a lot of vertigo when I stood up and I was afraid to stand up after that in case I fell over. I was told my face also went incredibly pale and whilst some people laughed because they knew a lot of it was self inflicted, I think they stopped once they saw how serious it was.
Anyway, thankfully my friends put me into a room out of sight of everyone and were looking after me by getting me some much needed electrolytes. Whilst I was sitting there, I had an incredible healing session. I basically sat there, with my eyes closed and one hand on my head and was imagining myself wrapped in the wings of my guardian angel, and surrounding my guardian angel I had Jesus, Kuan Yin, Archangel Raphael and his team of healing angels sending a lot of healing energy my way. My head started turning and unwinding in and of itself, and after about an hour of this healing I felt confident to stand and my friends commented that colour had returned to my face. The healing also involved however the stirring of a LOT of the toxins in my digestive system so off I went to the loo and threw up. After the second bout of throwing up, I was strong enough to walk home and got myself into bed and fell asleep.
Today I'm less sick and the main issue is the tiredness. I had been planning to go to yoga after work today but given that the yoga session was a late one and that I wanted to get some rest, I decided to do a quick 30 min guided vinyasa yoga flow at home. After doing that I now understand why the angels were telling me I should be doing yoga more often. The energy I got after that was surreal and took me straight out of the fatigue! It's a bit over an hour since I finished and some of the energy has worn off but I definitely feel better than I did during the entire day. So the lesson there is - try to incorporate yoga into my life as much as possible!
Looking back this year, I have been sick a lot more times than I care to remember. I pride myself on being a healthy and fit person, so getting sick all the time is a bit hard to take. Now as we know, generally certain things keep repeating themselves until the lesson is acknowledged and learnt. For me, I keep getting sick because I can't keep on top of my schedule. I will agree to a lot of events in advance and before I know it, I barely have one day to myself. This year has constantly been catching up with friends, attending birthday parties, house warmings, baby's birthdays, baby showers, etc. Add on top of that my studies, extracurricular studies, my clinic work, my fitness routine and my work. No wonder I get run down.
So the lesson for me to actively take a look at my life and "declutter" it. Not very helpful given I've got something on each of the next 4 days... but I will try to do my best not to push myself too hard and get myself home so I can at least get enough sleep. Thankfully next week looks relatively quiet so it'll be a great opportunity to get some downtime!
Stop pushing yourself guys - work ain't worth you spending 10+ hours on, and if you really feel like you need to look after yourself and put yourself first, then do it. Your friends who are your true friends will understand. Those who aren't won't but let's be frank, they're probably not worth it anyway.
P.S I thought that the Universe worked me a miracle the other week in terms of my finances but unfortunately not! Turns out it was a processing error on the part of my college and the debt it still owing! Oh well! I'm sure there are other ways the Universe will help me out! Looks like I need to learn more lessons!
