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.

Wiped Out!

Tuesday, September 11th During morning meditation, I heard internally, "Wiped out!'  I believe it is safe to assume that this refers to how my wife, son, and myself feel this second week with new transitions and schedules.  My wife started working five days a week as a teacher assistant.  She is having to do work even off hours.    In addition, she is assisting my son with his new school routine and some homework-going over what is expected of him from each of his teachers.  My son started sixth grade in Middle School.  It is a big leap from grade school.  He is quickly building independence by walking to and from school alone.  Staying home alone for short periods, and adjusting to a much bigger school, new teachers, and new classmates.   Myself, I am doing my best to get home by 6:30pm.  I am open to assist with making meals and/or clean up from meals.  I am making lunches. I am open to assist with homework.  There is ...
