This post is a confession. Yes, I'm guilty of not walking my talk.
I've been talking about the importance of finding our own rhythm, about creating space to rest and recover, on how vital it is to take care of our energy. Particularly now, that this lockdown has disrupted our rhythm.
And yet, here I am. Stretching myself to finish stuff that would take me half the time if I was fully present. Skipping the time to recover to keep up and in doing so, depleting my energy and my focus even more.
This morning my rituals feel like a chore.
And I'm grateful for it. It reminds me that even the things we love and enjoy the most can become a burden if we are not aware and present.
To walk the talk, we must be present. So our walk becomes our talk.
How often do I allow my talk to go where I'm not ready to walk?
