Unless you’ve been living in a tent in Outer Mongolia with no internet, you’ll know that Jacinda Ardern has resigned as Prime Minister of New Zealand.
Just to let you know… I am a fan.
And I’m even more of a fan having seen and heard not only her owning her ‘burnout’ but taking appropriate action for the highest good of herself and others!
Especially as I booked in way too much in my diary for January having gone unconscious in the last month or so of 2022… And it wasn’t until Friday 13th that it hit me.
A very auspicious day…
Because, just before lunchtime on the 13th, I realised I’d missed an important political meeting the night before…
Expletive deleted!
The meeting was there in my diary as bold as brass. I knew it was coming up and had even prepared for it. But, come that evening, it went whoosh right over my head or, perhaps more accurately, the little grey cells went on strike so I’d get some of the rest I didn’t know I needed.
Indeed, my blooper was one glorious prompt for me to realise I’d been doing-doing-doing without enough being-being-being. And, just like Jacinda Ardern, my tank was also on freakin’ empty!
I had noticed I’d a lot more than usual booked into my diary and was feeling there weren’t enough hours in the day.
But did I get conscious?
Did I heck!
Super Woman had overtaken me and, if I hadn’t realised I’d missed the meeting, I would still be in over-drive. I would have kept on going until steam came out the top of my head and I crashed into a jabbering and dysfunctional wreck.
Not this time!
As soon as I woke up metaphorically, I took action.
I rearranged my diary to plot in time for reeeeeeelaxation. So I’ve been napping far more in January than my usual quota which, 11 days on from the 13th, has me more chilled and compos mentis than I was back then.
And do you know what?
Even though it’s nowhere near totally booked up, I might just do the same for February!
Love and wild warm wishes…
You are perfect imperfection
A divine light that yearns to shine.
So shine, woman, shine!
PS… My guess is that Ms. Ardern has done a fair bit of personal and spiritual development work to become the powerful, compassionate and successful woman she is. Some of the kind of work central to my heavily discounted and Beta Down and Dirty Spirituality School…
I’ve got room for just 1 more woman who’d give her right arm to work one to one with me for 9 life-changing weeks. You know who you are! Contact me now…
