This week I took the time to take up space by allowing myself to rest. It’s so funny because as I was resting part of me was relieved that I gave myself a break to recharge and reset. Another part of me felt like that rest was a sign of emptiness. But I wasn’t empty was the ironic part, but in the past before my healing journey I was used to feeling empty because I wasn’t or didn’t know what I needed, what I valued, what I desired and what I felt. I used to suppress so much that I was empty, that I had nothing left. But God, yes God allowed me to see the path of healing and what that required. I turn my suppression in supplication in God. I sought after him and he reveal me. It’s funny because I’m in a state of wholeness while healing, while unpacking, while breaking a soul tie etc. I've realized my past feeling of rest was related to emptiness and my current feeling is recharge. I’m no longer empty but I had to shift my mindset; I realized that depending on where I’m at can affect the way I see and feel things. That’s why it’s important for me to get to know myself in God, in purpose and in stillness. Rest is my recharge to reset the power down in the inside of me. That is Self Care and I’m at peace with doing nothing sometimes. It’s so overlooked and overrated but I’m here to tell you it unlocks new levels of you. Don’t compare your last level to your new level because there is a shift in your mind, body, soul and spirit. Determine your state of rest today and allow yourself to be. You’re worthy of that.
