Motivational Monday #1

Good morning everyone J Happy Monday. I have decided that all of Monday’s future blog posts will fall under the category of “Motivational Monday”; that way, we can all start our week off with a bang! I’ll share motivational, inspiring, uplifting and humbling stories with you, as well as plenty of quotes (love my quotes!!), photographs, poems and goodness knows what else. I would also love to hear from you with anything you would like to share to pump us up for the week ahead J

Today, I am motivated but with a different goal in mind than I usually have…my goal this week is simply to rest and nurture my body.  You see, last night at Church, I had a message from Spirit that was given to me by Russell, which I have summarised below:

• I am running around and around and around in circles after my children and it is absolutely wearing me out.
• I need to stop and rest, look after my body and rejuvenate. Russell suggested getting hubby to have the kids for a few hours a week so I can get a break…I laughed and asked to get that in writing!
• Russell said that spirit was showing me swinging in a hammock and that I need to make more time to relax, rest and quiet my mind. In doing so, I will be more open to the communications I am receiving from Spirit.
• Diet. Spirit emphasised the need to eat living foods like apples, lettuce and celery (yay) and detoxify. This will also aid in resting and rejuvenating my body.

Upon reflection, yes I am absolutely running myself into the ground looking after the kids and as Russell said, what mother isn’t feeling this way? Regarding the suggestion to have Mat take the kids for a few hours so I can have some quiet time, well, that is an area that needs a bit of work. Don’t get me wrong, I am more than happy to hand the kids over and say “get out of my space” but the challenge is convincing Mat to take them! Then there is Russell’s mention of relaxing my mind and the positive effect this will have on my communications from Spirit…I am certain of that! The more relaxed and rested I am, the better I am able to connect with loved ones in Spirit. Finally, the notion of diet and detoxification is undoubtedly something that needs extra attention in my life (Spirit must have known I’d bought a KitKat that day to eat after Church lol). My body has recently broken out in eczema from my neck to my knees with no known cause so perhaps it is my body screaming out to me for a detox. Who knows? I will however look into this further and tweak where tweaking is needed (there is A LOT of room for tweaking J)

So all in all, the message was very relevant and has assisted me with shifting my focus for the week from “getting things done”, to looking after myself. I am off to have a nap (Yay for Sophie being at Kindy and Elliott being fast asleep!!) and I hope you too can find some time this week for some much needed and deserved R&R xox
