Anyone who knows me knows part of my personality can be a little intense at times. When I finish one project, I often times jump right into the next one. Or I take on multiple projects at once. Women are artists at multi-tasking but we can also try and do everything instead of enlisting help from others who are more than willing to help. I push myself. Part of the perfectionism, I suppose. Lately, I had kinda a wake up call when I pushed it hard over the weekend to do stuff. You know, boring chores and stuff. I did take time to hang out and play outside with the girl in the beautiful weather but I didn’t make time for myself to rest. Then I found myself wrapped up in an exhausted ball of irritation before I blew up over something rather minor. So this week I’ve been trying harder to not try so hard. Take one thing off my to-do list each day. One of my favorite people is my accupuncturist Julie and she reflected my feelings about the need to integrate. The definition of integrate is to combine things to become whole. Integrate all the changes as of late. And celebrate! Easter weekend over a full moon seems like a lovely time to reflect on milestones, marking time, and appreciate all that is now.
