Hello, I took a must needed break from social media through the summer. I am back and want to share why I took the break and what I learned. It was around my birthday in May. My life was stressful and I was not intentional in my actions. I just reacted to everything. Mindfulness wasn’t in my actions. I was reacting day to day to people, events, and news from my head not my heart. So, I had to stop.
During the summer I took time to reevaluate my life. I started therapy and began writing in my journal again. I learned that I was such a people pleaser and codependent that my life was absorbed with others needs. My needs were not even known to me.
So, I began looking at what my heart needed and wanted. I found that I needed to be by the ocean and I hadn’t been lately.
I also became aware that I wasn’t stopping and noticing the beauty around me.
I spent time with family and friends.
I also began writing again and hope one day to have a biographical fiction to publish.
I learned from this hiatus from social media and my unintentional life that I miss a great deal when I react instead of being present and let my heart lead me. When I do that I can appreciate so much in my life every day.
I will be writing here more but I will make sure it is all from my heart not my head. As Gary Zukav said, “The longest journey we will make is from our head to our heart.”
Sweet, Kath; I love that your heart caught up with you, because it is such a beautiful heart!
