I don’t know about you but it sometimes seems that the world goes on without me. There are atrocities in Haiti, the recent mass murder in Moscow, and the heartbreaking reality of the Hamas attack on Israel and now of Gaza… and more.
Not to mention conspiracy theories and misinformation on social media designed to rile you up, be divisive and corrosive.
There’s so much painful incoming stuff, I just have to switch it off for my own sanity. Either that or I would have to numb myself so I don’t feel anything and become ‘living dead.’
I learned not to do that years ago…
The process of disassociation doesn’t allow you to choose. Numb one feeling out and you pretty well numb the lot. You might just go for risky behaviour as an attempt to feel something, anything rather than the unending numbness.
Even if you don’t feel the painful stuff intensely, it still seeps through under your conscious radar. That’s why it’s so important to consciously get your quota of nourishing and positive energy in any way you can.
As I write, a YouTube video plays in the background of waves gently breaking on the shore of a white-sanded island, complete with a palm tree in the foreground, turquoise sea and the bluest of blue skies ever…
Freakin’ delicious!
A walk in nature, swimming, meditation, listening to oh-so-cool music that you love, painting, knitting, watching babies laughing or doing anything!
You can even be nourished doing the housework if you do it mindfully as a meditation…
There are endless ways to nourish and soothe your Wild Soul and physical space suit’s Mission Control nervous system.
Just close your eyes and listen in your imagination to the soothing sound of waves lapping on the shore right now…
That’s one of the reasons I founded our Rediscovered Women Community for women engaged in their personal and spiritual growth. It’s a place where #womensupportingwomen can get a luscious boost of nourishing positive energy from posts, tips, and techniques not to mention the general ambience…
If you’d love some of that, why not come on over?
And whether you don’t or you do, please, please, magnificent woman, take awesome care of you and your energy.
You are precious…
Love and wild warm wishes…
Helping midlife women nourish their souls to empower their lives
PS… I forgot to mention our regular 15-Minute Riff & Meditation event, the next one’s on 2nd April at 7.30 pm BST. Topic to be revealed in the Community.
TBH our community is in its early days and will evolve as more superb women join. If you’re one of them we’ll be delighted to see you there…
