Do you ever feel like there is a tea party in your head?
Discussing, analysing, debating and arguing different points of view
on whatever the topic is you are thinking about. Then telling you what the
right opinion is.
I do.
Does this rabble of voice wake you up at 2am demanding that you
listen? Mine do?
No I am not delusional or crazy (not technically at least) but I have
always struggled to control the tea parties that go on in my head, tried to
quiet the incessant analysis of every situation, and inevitably negative
opinion of my choices, my eating, or my body.
Why am I like this I wonder? Is it because I am a Gemini and can
easily see multiple sides to any situation? Is it because I have a Vata Dosha
driven by air and movement that needs to be more grounded? Is it because of my
upbringing?
I have come to the conclusion that it really doesn't matter why, what
does matter is being aware of my strengths, weaknesses and tendencies. Being
connected to my body and spirit so that I can feel what my needs and desires
truly are, accepting certain undeniable truths and then taking action to
provide an optimal internal and external environment for peace, purpose and
passion. This includes making positive choices around health, food and
being kind to my body.
Over the next three months I am going to spend some time discussing
topics that I think are important in the quest for living a life that embodies health,
peace, purpose and passion.
I don’t claim to have it all sorted, and some days I have it more
sorted than others. So I would love to hear your ideas and comments as we travel
along the next few months.
During July the discussion will be around creating awareness through
reflecting on your strengths, your growth points (sounds nicer than weakness
doesn’t it), your purpose and what authenticity means to you.
During August the focus will be on acceptance of the discomfort that
can arise during a growth or transformation time in your life, including when
you are moving into a different phase of health awareness. Accepting the
perceived barriers, accepting that neither you or nor your life are perfect, knowing
that growth demands that you step out of your comfort zone and that there might
be some short term pain.
September will see the discussion shift from internal work to taking
action through changes to nutrition, activity, spiritual practice and desire
mapping.
So I hope you join me for weekly posts on Facebook and my blog and I
might even give videos a go.
Stay Groovy
Kim
