I read this on the internet the other day. I think that this quote was from Think Smarter (Twitter), but I can’t say for sure:
“There are two types of “tired”, I suppose. One is in dire need of sleep, the other is in dire need of peace.”
What are your dire needs this weekend? Attend to those needs first. Your body will lead you to where it needs attention, with a crumb trail of little aches and pains and stiff knots and cravings. Your mind might just need some relief from the difficult life challenges of today, with a little more focus on fun. Your mind might enjoy having inconsequential things to figure out, like crafts and puzzles and games, and the victorious feeling of completing something hard, yet relatively insignificant and manageable. Your spirit probably just needs to be noticed and recognized. Your spirit just wants to remind you, that you can always rest inside your heart. Try resting in your heart and in your spirit, a little bit this weekend. Stay still in prayer or meditation or just purposeful awareness, in a space or place that you consider to be very peaceful, and notice that your spirit is a plentiful, gurgling, clean fountain of renewable energy and joy. All that your spirit ever wants for you, is to remember that it will always sustain you, if you allow it to flow.
This is a good one.
I got up filled with purpose this morning, a list of chores ready to be attended to. Determination just to power through them.
I will still probably do most of them because they need to be done regardless of my mood. But my soul is calling out for peace. I think a beach walk at sunset may be the necessity for the day. Beaches are technically closed here, but you are allowed to walk as long as you don’t sit down and camp out. I think I need to make this happen.
Make it happen, Kelly. Your spirit is calling out to you.
