I had a wonderful weekend with wonderful people. Love & Dead Prez & MBSA. Sounds perfect right? It was until I came back to my room and start filling out my planner with everything I need to do. Same, old song: a lot to do and not enough time. Then I checked my mail and realized DOTS denied my second appeal...thieves. This is going to sound weird but, I wanted to go to the gym but my food wasn't digesting fast enough which was totally frustrating because my stomach needs to be almost empty for me to go. Amidst this anxiety I realized something was missing. Missing for two weeks now! Relaxation, meditation, reflection, time to myself. All of these things that I value so much and somehow they've slipped away for a little while. Instinctively I picked up my things and drove home. I'll admit it was a little late to drive home, but the consequences are worth it. Now I'm sitting in bed relaxing, meditating, reflectng and most importantly giving time to myself. It's not a lot of time, but if I'm going to get through this week I need this time.
I encourage you to make time for yourself doing something you love. I know we get so caught up in everything we have to do, but it is so hard to stay strong when you're not taking care of yourself.
Stay positive everyone! Appreciate every second you have.
Love,
Melina Sabrina
