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”.

Inhale to Exhale

My Sunday…

My Sunday was truly a day spent counting my blessings.  I was grateful for life, for loved ones and all things bright and beautiful around me.

I began to surrender on a journey to let go of what I can’t control.  I can’t control ‘Feeling physically tired’…I went back to sleep, because my mind, body and soul needed rest, needed sleep.

I practiced kindness…watered the plants, the herbs in my home, without haste.  I talked to them, spent time running the water to reach a temperature not to startle, the roots.  I was kind to myself, when I felt myself drifting in and out of sleep…I didn’t fight it.  Instead I gathered my pillows cushions and duvet and immersed myself in a sound Bath of gongs, mantra and affirmations of love, light, healing, for love, health, protection and projection.

I listened to my heart…because it is always right.

Finally, the most blissful act of all is…To ‘Breathe’ just to ‘Breathe‘.  I inhaled, slowly, deeply.  Exhaled, slowly, deeply.  Recognising each deep inhalation…was an emotional fight to make haste to exhale out, make haste to move on with life, with time.  I gave myself permission, an invitation to… Slow my breath… releasing guilt for taking the time to just ‘Breathe’…Releasing the tension in the body, roaming thoughts of the mind.  The thoughts that stop, rest, sleep, that create a tired mind, body and soul.

My Sunday “to do” List

Count My Blessings,  Let go of what I can’t control, Practice Kindness, Listen to my Heart, Just Breathe.

New Moon…A New Start

New Moon 2020

I couldn’t quite get a photo of the New Moon Eclipse, but the dusky blue, grey light was a vision to capture. 

The New Moon is here…Its time to move forward…Move forward with a list of treats, blessings, joy and happiness…A time for harmony of the mind!

Soooo I have been creeping into this phase with dashes of “tired, but wired’ sleepless nights, vivid dreams.…I am bursting with New, fighting with old…My monkey mind, iffng and butting.  Making every thought and action, exhausting, guilty or unfulfilled.

Today, I pledge to myself to move forward into my destiny…Set my intentions, embrace the energy of the Moon, Release the fear, roaming thoughts….Ask myself What does the New Moon represent?…..

The New Moon represents the start of a new lunar cycle.  A time to start something new, start a fresh.. begin a new chapter, project…

I invite you to use the Energy of the New Moon, to set intentions.  NEW BEGINNINGS, reflect on the old, set intentions for the new.

Refresh the mind, body & soul…with daily Meditation, Affirmations…Create mediation between the Mind & Body. 

What would you like to create? What are you feeling? Is your ‘Mind’ the mediator, Or is your ‘Body’ the mediator?

Relax into this moment…Bask in the sleepless nights, to free your mind of roaming thoughts. Use the power of your breath….To just breathe…inhale deeply……Pause, take a moment…to grasp the new, positive, gratitude of life. Vision of the blessings.

Inspire your mind, using the breath of life…Giving you new thoughts, intentions...

Exhale deeply using the strength and the power of your lungs…..Let go of Negativity, blocks….to clear the old, what no longer serves you. Giving you Grace, time to be reflective.

There is nothing holding you back, but you, yourself, I, Me, yes you, my darling…Take this moment your moment release, let go....For the new.

What did the Beaver Moon do?

If you have had the opportunity to attend a yoga session, workshop, or read my profile.  Everything I do is organic….authentic. I do not teach, share what I have not experienced or done myself.

BEAVER MOON

I am therefore at ease, in my comfy zone. Embracing a Hygge environment.  I lay back into my large puffy pillows & cushions; melting deep into my bed from the weight of my not double, not King, but Queen size duvet.

Can I be honest, get up close & personal?

Ok….lets do this.  My mind & body are working to please themselves, not each other.  This is becoming increasingly difficult to manage myself physically & emotionally.

Relaxing, falling into  to share my thoughts and feelings.  Quite frankly the Beaver Moon has left me a feeling….Mmm dishevelled…Mmm drained…not really sure if I have a word, a description.

I feeling an over flow of…busyness of the mind, Busyness to share things all things….all things Bright & Beautiful Bubbling…in my mind in my being…’Like a ‘Babbling Brook’

At the same time…there is an element of Mmm..I’ll do it later…Mmm maybe thats too much information..planning, thinking, planning, thinking. Its like eat sleep, play repeat….

For now I will sleep 💤…..Play will come….the time is rest & sleep. Long deep breathing. Relax into the warmth of my bed & recharge…& reflect by the light of the moon.

The universe has given me the opportunity to pause on teaching weekly Yoga sessions.

Giving in to a spontaneous practice that consists of going with the flow…A chat with God…Long deep breathing, Deep transitional thoughts…hurriedly scripting the roaming thoughts.

Returning to my mat with a less busier mind…but only to be now writing the thoughts down…using my eyes, has a pen & the paper a scroll screen in the sky

The first line reads…Woman, Woman you have many, many things to do…..

Resilience

GRATEFUL

The warm up is the calm.

Before the storm of bodies on the street. And the daily onslaught of our duties.

The warm up is the building.

Of a platform, hammer and nails of the day

The warm up is a secret weapon

A place to jump from, to test the boundaries. Of our minds and spirit

The warm up is the beginning…..Of resilience
