I realised during my winter walk swinging my hips to the beat of Chris Brown ''Its Giving Christmas'' on my XMAS20 Spotify playlist which is currently being played in a restaurant as we speak (Catch the vibe), That people simply don't get enough time off work over the Christmas period. Winter is truly the season to hibernate, indulge, and reflect on the year. I understand that some people can't do this financially or mentally because they don't know how to stop. I know individuals who struggle to pause because stopping forces you to reconnect and confront unresolved issues, rebooting your nervous system, which can be quite uncomfortable. I'm laughing at remembering my own major reboots and the healing journey they initiated! It twas ALOT peeps! Now, my reboots aren't as intense. I experience them after my events when I've been away for a while with work. I come home, pause, and spend a few days feeling a mix of emotions, allowing myself to process and reflect. This practice has strengthened my ability to handle life's challenges. It doesn't mean I don't feel overwhelmed when big things happen, but I do feel strong and capable of dealing with them, making room for whatever comes next! I truly value time off; it's been incredibly healing for me, and I hope it continues to be. Some people, even those close to me, dislike my lifestyle. I genuinely believe it's because I get to relax more than they do! I can't think of any other reason for their attempts to make me feel bad about it. hahahaa! Anyway!
What I'm trying to BLA BLA BLAHAHA about is that I really wish everyone could snag two weeks off or more with pay during the holiday season, without burning through their holiday days. Imagine chilling through Christmas or December or January, munching on goodies, bonding with your inner self and your peeps, and processing the wild ride of the past year, whether it was a rollercoaster of joy or a soap opera of drama. Getting you ready to take on the world and the new year ahead! Just know that I KNOW you totally deserve a break a fully paid one! So to whoever's eyeballs are on this... Consider this your official reminder that you're smashing it in a season when, by nature's decree, we humans should be resting, digesting, and nesting like hedgehogs doing yoga! Okay yeahhhh, keep up the hustle if you must,im Hustling from my bed right now..... but if you hit the burnout wall, please pamper yourself and shower yourself with love So much bloody Love. Actually, do that all the time and even more so in Winter, Please. whether you're busy or not—crank up that self-love and LOVE YA SELF so much deeper through Winter.
Nothing but Love T xoxo
P.s if you ever find yourself taking time out for more than 2 weeks to deal with things please take so much care of yourself. Therapy, good people and good places, nature, eating good foods and slow body movements AND a whole lotta selflove will guided you through. Stay away from people who believe that pausing is wrong when your know your doing the right thing. Love ya!
