What does taking care of your needs look like?
Feels new to take care of myself over taking care of my ego. Here I am giving myself facials, baking banana bread, pouring into my peers stepping into the home organizing industry. The space that used to be filled with productivity is being filled with substance. These moments feel foreign. I find myself thinking, "What should I do next?" now that I'm not constantly feeding the ego train of do more, be better.
What does taking care of your needs look like?
It looks like eating for me.
Replacing productivity with something that fuels me on multiple levels has become therapy.
Cooking provides physical nourishment, creates a bonding experience that me and my little one will cherish forever, and allows me to be a gift to others by sharing the food I make. Although cooking gives me so much, my body is not used to receiving this kind of care.
My body is used to snacks on the go, eating in the car.
Getting used to my body not being drained at the end of the day or my mind not feeling like it has to scream is what I'm adjusting to. The peacefulness of it all.
I admit I'm used to emotional chaos, constantly feeling overwhelmed and underprepared for what life throws my way is what drives my deep need for organization and efficiency. I'm seeing I am the master of my anxious energy and stress. The environment may trigger me, but I can also create that environment.
There is a sense of fear that I won't be able to keep this up. That life will continue to get busier and add more than I can handle. This is why simplifying is a journey. It's my job to rewire myself and create a life I love managing. It's my job to create a body and mind I love being in. I am the gatekeeper to my mind, body and spirit. It's up to me to decide what I allow in.
Although learning how to manage my mental and emotional environment is new, managing the physical environment is not.
