Out of Office…

Clear my Calendar, Clear my Mind, Clear my Body, Clear my Soul.
“Out of office”

Out of office what does that truly mean for you?

Life has been feeling so topsy-turvy, so rushed, so over whelming. I am never “Out of office” on time or at all!

I set myself a task. I am going to treat myself well. Put my “Out of office” on, on time and put my laptop away. I am going to be for the first time in a year “Out of office”.

But it takes planning, real planning, to switch off the laptop, switch off the work life, switch off the mind, switch off the body, switch off the soul, Switch off the everything that is the “In office”, that I am struggling to be “Out of office” from.

By the way I failed. 5pm arrived, and the working day did not end, I wasn’t wrapped up, signed off, complete. It was so incomplete, I didn’t get to write the speech, to put on, wait for it “Out of office”.

That so didn’t happen!

You see, everything has got so long, technically in depth, it takes me up to 20 minutes, to navigate through forever changing Microsoft Office technology and language that it is no longer, just a mouse click here, enter there and return. Done! I am officially “Out of office”.

Times tick tocking by…I just want to end my day and leave the office. It’s after 5pm and I do what ‘IT’ suggest when things are not going well, “Press the off key” and the screen finally goes black, and the laptop is off. It’s off, am off, bag in hand heading to the car, but the one aim, I have been trying to get to all day, being “Out of office”. I am not!

Before I go any further, I need to set the scene, bring you up to speed, why I am topsy-turvy, over whelmed in my feelings. My soul is no longer singing and my fire does not even have a spark…this is another day another blogg. I digress.

It’s apparent the universe, surrounds you with what you need, to be where you need to be physically, psychologically and emotionally. It’s just really hard sometimes to see it, feel it, learn it, act on it “Be in the moment” to succeed to be on your destined path.

My destined path at the moment is to be in a work environment that no longer serves me. I am seeing and experiencing a robust level self centeredness with motive and self gain daily. Which is hard, really hard for me to be around. Here we go, another day another blogg. To keep it simple, the universe is showing me how to show up, do my job and go home and I am not seeing or listening.

Here is my first sign, being in a work environment with a person, that sets themselves a goal an intention. Every day, to get this goal done, from the outside this is what happens. Every thing must stop, all roles and responsibilities, no longer present in their path until the goal is done. In the meantime there is a massive thrust transference of anxiety on to anyone in this pathway to the goal. For a while in my eyes there is nothing but chaos, frustration and annoyance, until this person achieves their very personal’ goal.

And just like that, peace is back….Everything is back to flow, your roles and responsibilities to not join. Your used for that moment. Instead of learning from this, their is a massive drain of energy and loose time being a mule in the path of a person’s goal.

Lesson learned my goal was to be out of office on time and robust in getting this goal done.

I woke up on my first day of annual leave and sent an email, or two, three to be exact.

So here I am….Tossing and turning in mind of how I am truly going to be “Out of office’.

Preparation, lists and notes to self. I book a back massage and a Spa day, last week for tiday Friday. But I wake up, worried I’ve not put my ‘Out of office” on.

I am finally ‘Out of office’. Or am I….

I rush about, packing a bag, making a mental list of things I need to do, for me, for my home, for businesses….The lists begin to bubble like volcanic lava, slowly rolling down to its final resting place. I stop myself, and remember what I have learned from the person in the office. One goal, to have my “Massage” be in that moment.

My massage goes so well, I surrender to an introduction of an afternoon of sleep and blissful Euphoria.

All my roles and responsibilities drift to the right of my mind….When you are an “Holistic Entrepreneur”…there is a struggle to really be “Out of office”. I digress, another day, another blogg.

My goal Friday is simple…Be present for me, show up for me, invite relaxation, rest, empty my mind, if only for today, Friday.

I am just for the moment, finally “Out of office”.

Sweet Like Strawberries 🍓

It’s been a while since I have posted. I have not been on point with consistency….

June’s full moon, is known as the ‘Strawberry Moon’.

I read somewhere the Strawberry Moon brings….a deep level of seeking understanding in great questions & to have fun, while doing it! This full moon wants us to kick back, let our hair down, & ponder the cosmos❣️

Finding your sweet spot, is your truth…Riding the wave of life.

All things sweet & joyful will give you energy, spice & zest for life. Your Root Chakras ground & secure your path, your navel will ignite, giving you fire to stay committed to your commitment.

Your authentic truth, shines like a torch…..You begin to see through the third eye. Clarity, clairvoyance….

There’re so many, more Chakras to travel through….twisting & weaving through…..

Hey hey hey its FriYAY…Strawberries are sweet…The Moon is Full, Life’s Full gently does it…

Invite sweetness into your life…Forgive me while I play, Laugh, Live, Love, Learn….whilst finding my sweet spot.

Taking Time…

I am still taking time….But what is taking time?

For me taking time is, taking time to stop, look & listen to your feels, thoughts, actions, reactions & your physical & emotional environment.

That’s ‘a lot’…I hear myself saying!…let alone you thinking as a reader. I think that’s why there is so much resistance, in making the time, because I do have the time, I just need to stop, filling it with avoidance things and also allowing, or giving other people the opportunity to fill it.

My first slot, goes to taking the time to answer to my physical feels. More often, I gave way to feeling slightly under the weather, throat feels a little sore, slight headache, feeling cold.

My stomach brain, sometimes over takes my physical brain and gets in there first with showing up.

What’s ‘Showing up?’ It’s nice bout of irritable bowel, just before you need to go out, or the complete opposite bloating & abdomen pain, with no physical release.

Emotional well-being. When you are feeling emotionally challenged, for whatever reason, it can begin to manifest physically over time. ‘Showing Up’.

Anxiety and stress can manifest from being in toxic work, home, social environments, or working, personal relationships.

Give yourself, time to love and feel…..Take warm scented baths, when your muscles are aching to open the pores and detox the body.

Drink warm water; to relax the digestive system and gargle with salt water to ease a sore throat. Rest and sleep to allow the beauty of the sleep to regenerate cells to build and strengthen your immune system.

Take time for self, don’t fight it, don’t resist it…..

I felt the chill, the ache the tiredness and surrendered into feeling unwell, being unwell. No work, no phonecalls, no just a minute….just no, just me, myself and my chill and aches.

“It’s OK, to Feel the feels”

I was listening to an interview, a while ago, where a famous actress said…“Its Ok, to feel the feels”.   I ran the sentence, back through my mind, “It’s OK, to feel, the feels….it’s OK, to feel, the feels….it’s OK, to feel the feels”.

I often retrace, words, quotes, through my mind, to introduce it, as a mantra.  Then for me, my monkey mind, plays a game where it….tries to hear, say it & move on, & my subconscious mind, says ‘ hold up, wait a minute…What did you just feel, when you said that? Just in these few seconds, the feeling can be whisked away, into reaction. And then stress, anxiety negativity begins.

But if you take, the feeling, be in the feeling…It will give you the opportunity to rest in the moment, be present with the feeling to act, rather than react.

It’s a new year, a new day…it’s OK to feel, the feels.

We Are Moving…

Special Announcement

Pure Essence Kundalini Yoga is

MOVING….

Summer is done…

Just like that Summer is done! We move into a new month.  We start to mourn, the warmth of the Sun, as dusk creeps into the light of days, making them shorter and shorter.

The words of poem, resonates within my soul…“Come again, Come again, Come back to me”.  I felt the strong pull, the words, came to me asking, calling for Summer to come back to me, “Bringing the Summer, Bringing the Sun”.

The last Bank Holiday of the year, for me, was a ritual of loving the Sun, loving the warmth and the love, laughter and joy the Sun brings when your in good company.  A time to really give thanks, gratitude be grateful for the longer light of the day, the warmth on my skin.

This Bank Holiday was different, no ritual of loving the Sun, loving the warmth and the love, laughter and joy the Sun brings….Thanks and gratitude was replaced with reflection, achievements, loss, grief….Grief for the Summer coming to an end…Without me finding ‘Joy’ “joy the Sun brings” to be grateful, have gratitude.

What is different? I didn’t dance to the beat of my soul, bask in the Love, laughter and joy the Sun brings.

So now, my Soul is mourning, the Sun…Before it’s truly gone, feeling reflective, sourcing memories from beyond this past year…Today remember, be grateful have gratitude of the joy the Sun brings. Just like that, Summer is done!

Catch a Rainbow…

Some search for a pot of Gold, some make a wish….

Is it better to free your mind? Or live in blissful ignorance?

Red Pill, Blue Pill

Do I take the ‘Red Pill’….willing to learn the life-changing unsettling truth. Or the ‘Blue Pill’, to remain in contented ignorance.

Every day, we have a choice to seek and learn or continue walking in the wilderness.

Today is a brand new day, What are you going to choose, Red Pill? Blue Pill?

To Heal the Heart & Free the Mind- Toby Negus

I am always drawn, to spiritual books, which feed my mind as ‘Therapy’.

It’s an ‘Eureka’ moment…tuning into the heart, seeking emotions, feelings to face the ‘Commotion in the Emotion’.
