It’s been a few months since I’ve published a blog or created any new content, so today I wanted to share why.
I’ve sort of taken a step back from DOING…and entered a space of BEING.
I realized a few months ago that all I’ve been doing for the past few years is working (at my full time job), and then working on my online business and blogging in my free time, with very little time for myself, the ones I love, or for spontaneous activity.
As much as I love running my online business, I realized that my heart ached for more time to just be.
I felt this deep intuitive feeling that I need to slow down. I need to be more present. I need to stop being so busy. I need to go within and self-reflect. I need to focus on my own growth and inner healing…
That I just need to take a break from all of my self-created responsibilities (one major responsibility being my website and blog) and let myself be spontaneous for a little while.
I’ve always incorporated these self-care practices into my life, but this time I felt I needed to go FULL FORCE WITH IT.
This thought of taking a break from Follow Your Own Rhythm has never crossed my mind, it’s my passion, purpose, and my baby after all, but it wasn’t until recently that I realized how stuck I felt, and how burned out I was.
As much as I not only love, but feel called to spread this spiritual message and guide people on their own awakening and healing journey, I realized that I HAD NO BALANCE in my life, and that I’ve prioritized almost all my free time to work on my online business.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s important to sacrifice your free time for your goals, dreams, and bigger purpose, something I point out in my How to Turn Your Passion Into a Business training, but it’s just as equally vital to recognize when you’ve fallen out of balance and need to take a break to nurture your own needs.
So I felt this strong desire to slow down, become more in tune with my True self, be more present, and take in and observe life, other people, and my surroundings more. I felt the need to stop doing so much and just flow with life. I felt like I needed to reconnect with myself, and spend more time engaging in unstructured and unplanned activities.
