Rest and Responsibility

Happy Saturday. How are you doing on this Hollow Eve? The darl ominous clouds hanging over Chicago added the need for self care. This week has been filled with reflection and inspection. After looking at the history of this blog, I needed to step away and rest. Often, we don't want to slow down and admit that we are human. Life has advanced technologically, but we are forever chasing the next "big thing". Our fast paced lives can run you right into a rut. It can be overwhelming. These pandemic times have created pandemic efforts and survivor strategizing. Some have reacted by going into auto pilot. Others numb themselves with legal and illegal substances. Still others shut down mentally and physically. It can be a vicious cycle as we dance around issues instead of tackling them. It's easy to be distracted by news, politics, climate change or other social ailments. However, we cant take on the entire world of responsibility. Give yourself permission to rest. Refuel your body. Renew your mind. Reach out to family and friends to rebalance yourself. You'll find these reality checks will recalibrate you to focus on the important things. I managed to reconnect with my purpose and realign my efforts with my vision. I've been tweaking some plans and I am excited to implement this new strategy. How has your time been spent? What are you up to? Are you wandering aimlessly? Fully engaged? Or in the middle somewhere? Share your comments below.  Thanks for reading this article and supporting this blogspace.
