This Is For YOU!

05.23.2025 Several friends and family members have mentioned how they are presently dealing with some kind of emotional stress that is just draining their energy. They have said this in their own unique way, in their own words. But, not only does it boil down to the same thing, in this case....worry, each one of them says that they will get to a place in time, when they will do some self-care and/or take a break. When is that time, really? Did any of them put it onto a calendar? Pencil themselves in for self-care?

Sometimes, we put things off because we imagine that we don't have the time or that taking care of our emotional health is something we can just put off to some other time in the future.

The truth is, that when it comes to feeling like you need to take a break, (like thirst) by the time you feel it's needed you're already dehydrated/depleted.

I realize that when you're right in the heart of it, it can be a challenge to stop for just a moment to catch your breath and just breathe. If you let go, stop even for a moment, something else may go wrong. If you don't worry it may feel like you don't care. But, how much help are you giving by worrying?

And yes, I also do the same thing. Worry, worry, worry until I find some kind of solution or action to take. But, that solution came from the seed of worry. Solutions and/or actions from that seed are often temporary or turn out to be the complete opposite of what I desire for happiness and peace. Which is where I truly desire the solution or action to sprout from. Peace....Happiness...Love....Joy.

You know the time to take a break and give yourself a little love is right now. Right now. Pause, right now. Place your hand on your heart and just take a breath. Breathe in deep and feel the steady rhythm of your beautiful, amazing heart, beating!

My Dear, Dear Friends & Family, you know who you are, you talked to me, I listened. Give yourself some love. Give yourself some space. Give yourself some peace. If only for a few moments. Do it now. This is for YOU!

Be Joyful!
