It's Friday and I have finished my first week of this project.
I think it was a good week to start. I had lost a friend of two decades to lying and manipulation. I hope that we may recover from this in the future but for now we must go our separate ways. I am feeling some physical manifestations from the stress of this loss. My jaws are tight and it takes great effort to bring my breath down deep. My throat is tight as well. Despite all of this my mind feels clear and the chatter has quieted somewhat. I feel good in the way I have chosen to present myself this week.
I will continue throughout the weekend to bring breath and mindfulness to each moment. I hope this can become a lifelong practice. So with week one done and dusted lets recap-
I practiced mindfulness and awareness
I practiced being present and in the moment
I listened to my intuitions
I breathed in
I breathed out
I focused on my craft, my ashiatsu
I began rereading my reiki book and started some self healing
In this I gained some clarity.
I knew instantly what to do when faced with an awkward situation with my friend.
I saw my son with new eyes.
I felt kinder, softer and more appreciative of my husband.
Next week my goals are to come up with a strategy, my game plan. I need a time frame and specific techniques to try. I hope to spend some time this weekend developing a plan that I can share with you on Monday.
Until then Sweet Dreams and Breath Deep.
