When I was feeling so much unrest over a year ago, my mind couldn’t stop working. Thinking of all the possibilities. Overanalyzing (worrying) about everything.
Although my thinking started to change and my life
circumstances started to change, my mind was still on overload. That’s what happens when you work 7 days a
week.
The morning of March 11th of this year, I went
home after working my last overnight shift.
It felt glorious!
And the morning of March 12th, I didn’t know what
to do with myself.
Working so much, I had to keep to a rigid schedule. At least, I thought I did. Trying to get housework and errands done in
one morning/afternoon a week.
So when I suddenly had time for a life, I thought I needed
to fill it up.
I am grateful for friends and family who encouraged me to
slow down during this time period. Being
so keyed up, I’m sure I could have found something else exhausting to fill my
time.
A voice from within whispered “Be still.”
Those following weeks and months, I learned the importance
of recharging. I learned that it is ok
to be still.
There are days that I will accomplish little or even
nothing. Finding peace is important as a
list of completed to-dos.
