I've had a fun and very busy fall. I decided to say "Yes!" to Everything! Yes to all of the workshops I wanted to attend, (and there were a lot of them) 3 art workshops, a how to "Zen" your office space, many networking events, spiritual workshops... the list goes on.
I started hot yoga which is great, so I went very often at the
beginning. I had a lot of wonderful new clients. I am doing a year long group business coaching program. I was so busy that sometimes I was too wired and I wasn't sleeping well.
A few weeks ago I was at the Montreal Metaphysical and Spiritual Show. I had a mini reading done by a friend who is an intuitive. She told me a few things and one of them was, that I needed to slow
down!
She said that my To Do list would make most people dizzy. Funny, I had often thought that. I went home and realized just exactly how exhausted I was! When I told some of my friends, they were kind of rolling their eyes, and saying, "well, yes, we've been telling you that forever!"
I took all the extras off my to do list and made a point to rest every day, to
slow way down and to "Do" less. I took a supplement by Nature's Sunshine called Adrenal Support to boost up my tired Adrenals, some liquid B12 and iron, to cover all my bases and because I don't eat any red meat.
I was surprised it took over a week for my energy to start coming back and I still need to be mindful and not push it.
I am a work in progress, I am
getting off screens and getting to bed much earlier, and relaxing before bed. It is challenging, as I do Love what I do and working on building my business and everything that entails, but I've learned my lesson. I'm saying "no" more! :) How about you?
