I Needed to do Self Care

Wednesday, January 9th

During morning meditation, I asked my Spirit Guide Somoya what I needed to know for the day.  I then heard an internal voice say, "I needed to do self-care."

Our son Mason woke me up at 5am this morning.  His flu symptoms came back.  He had stomach cramps and threw up.  I cared for him and went back to bed.  This was very bad timing.  I just started to recover from three nights of insomnia.  Rather than assess him in the morning and consider having him go to school, I immediately made the decision to stay home with him.  I knew I would be emotionally vulnerable, have increased symptoms, and less productive at work.  In the past, I felt bad taking off mental health days, and use to try and muscle through it.  Now I see it is necessary and best to be honest with myself and others and do self-care.  Thank you Somoya for sending me a message that validated my decision making today.  As a result, I took it easy today as I cared for our son Mason.  I made the effort to workout this evening in hopes of getting my sleep back on track.

What Are You Doing Snakes?

Wednesday, April 3rd During morning meditation, I asked my Spirit Guide Somoya what I needed to know for today.  I then heard an internal voice say, "What are you doing snakes?" The term "snakes" is a word I use to describe those I work with who are not ethical, don't follow rules, and talk behind my back-backstabbers.  Several "snakes" in my workplace have moved on in the past year.  It is not clear on whether or not they were asked to leave, or they left on their own volition.  Before their exits, I was very close to leaving my job that I am very passionate about, due to their behavior.   Currently, there are a few "snakes" that still remain.  I am much more hyper vigilant and mindful not to share or be trusting of these individuals.  I have to be very thoughtful about what I say and do as I move forward in my professional career.  I want to collaborate with the hospital and make my product available to as many people as possible...
