My 90 Days of Rest and Regeneration
The last year I have gone deep to uncover many engrained thoughts and habits. Impulsions, reactions, coping mechanisms all a way of me to handle present situations. And what I realized is I wasn’t holding up a mirror to myself; I was holding up a mirror to others and expecting to see their reflection upon mimicking their life choices. And one teacher taught me about the power of intuition. Our bodies are here to allow us to experience all these magical wonderful things in the world. There is so much to see and do but the reality is, if you don’t feel good in the body you are living in, you are not going to experience those things to the fullest potential or appreciate them. And after really arriving to this place of being in tune with my intuition in an intangible way, my thoughts are aligned but my actions are not, I decided it is time to really commit to how my intuition is telling me how to live. What has brought me to the pivotal point is being told by many doctors that I am doing everything “right” in life but I just have to “eat less” or “eat more”. I am defeated and broken down by the healthcare system and taking matters into my own hands.
So here we go, my 90 days or rest and regeneration. I have this mapped out as a few phases as I don’t want to overwhelm and overhaul everything at once; something I have done plenty of times in the past. The next 60 days are about ease and presence. Reducing my toxic load with lots of raw fruits and vegetables, massages, long walks, writing, sunshine, chats with true good friends, hugs and telling people I love and appreciate them. The theme is ~gentle.
The following 30 days are my time for me. I am moving to a new place (California YAY) and leaving behind the toxic environments I was apart of. Here I am dedicated to my inputs and outputs. Being extremely intentional and deliberate with my time. And a critical piece to the puzzle there, being very calibrated in who and what I say “yes” to doing things with. For this time period I plan to delete social media, an input that I do not want to be a crutch for oxytocin in my new environment. The theme is ~cultivation. I am building my dream life. But those 60 days are the prep for being able to expand and connect in this time.
I am really inspired by this little creation of mine. I can’t wait to share what changes I experience, but also the difficulties, because nothing goes exactly as I expect it to, but it is in those moments where I believe a lot of growth happens. So here’s to my next 90 days of rest and regeneration. Let it bring magic and a lightness of being into my life.
