Centering Myself-Again
I had been feeling completely discombobulated lately.
 |
Maybe it was
traveling back to back, lack of sleep, my post IUD symptoms, or a combination
of all but I was feel down and out for what seemed no real reason.
First I realized I
wasn't remembering my dreams when I'd wake up. This is a big deal to me because
I believe in the importance of dreams. Then I realized I
was super bloated which I attributed to lack of consistent exercise, not eating
enough, and my post IUD symptoms. As well as my mind was in a million places at once-more than usual-and I wasn't getting much
done.
More importantly I
realized these things and made it a priority to do something about them.
To fix some of my
problems I made quieting my mind before bed a priority. A least a half an hour
before bed I would disconnect from the electronics except for a guided
meditation I would play.
After meditating my
mind was calmer, clear, and ready for a good nights sleep. What I didn't imagine
was how rested I would wake up on the morning and that I would start
remembering my dreams! And my mind was ready to tackle the days work.
To fix the bloating
and lack of energy I started moving! I would stretch or randomly do ten
push-ups or ten squats and I started taking the stairs more.
I also started
taking my vitamins again and more importantly I started eating. As crazy
as it sounds I often forget to eat which is no good at all.
I still have a long
way to go to getting "back to normal." But I'm on my way and feeling
good about it.
