Back in the Positive

After losing sight on some of my goals for self-care, I am back on track. =) And it feels really good, too. I've been making time for my wellbeing, for reflection, and for pleasure. My sister sent me the link to a site for helping to focus on health and wellbeing so that's been a good reinforcement as well.

I just had a couple really good exchanges in which I expressed my wants without being aggressive or oppressive and that feels really good. When I get overwhelmed or burned out or too sensitive I experience severe self-doubt about communication and expression (which are, for me, very emotional things as well as being mental). I can tell that I am more centered and confident from these last few days of staying close to home and nurturing myself.

Part of what is great about forgetting to make myself a priority is that I get to try again once I become aware of the shift. And I get to (re)learn when I make choices that exhaust, challenge, and/or sustain me. And sustainability is the goal for me: find a way to make living a good experience for as long (and as often) as possible.
