Today I prepared myself for the rest of the week. Slept in till noon 💤 dealing with repetitive nights of insomnia it was so needed and appreciated. My mind finally was able to rest, so I put no time limit on it. Taking my herbal supplement valerian root before bedtime has been beneficial.
Upon awaking from my slumber feeding my spirit was my first priority. The battle of my mind has also been spiritual warfare. As a woman of faith, my biggest relief from mental turmoil is prayer, devotion and praise. Listening to spiritual gurus renewed my thinking and the essence of my being. Reading the holy scriptures solidified what I had heard, songs of worship uplifted my spirit away from my worries. I felt lighter and better equipped to carry on about my day.
Tonight before I climbed into my bed yoga chakra balance was my go to. Stretching out my body and mind. Breathing and being centered in only the moment was like giving the anxiety a vacation. “Whoosa” I feel so good, like I’ve been on a mental retreat. I must admit most days I don’t feel like it, neither do I feel like doing anything besides breathing. I have learned to be moved by determination and the guydesire to be mentally healthy for myself, my kids and those I encounter. Being active and responsible for my mental health is a priority, that I no longer place in the hands of others.
