“…Rise, pick up you stretcher, and go home. He rose and went home.” – Matthew 9:6-7
Rise, rise up dear friends, dear creation. Rise up. Walk with a contemplative heart. Observe your self-talk. What are you saying? Are you speaking kind and loving thoughts? Are you showering yourself with compassion? You are of no use to others unless you first learn to accept yourself, love yourself, forgive yourself, and have compassion for yourself.
Each tiny step to self-awareness leads to the road of Self Awareness. The first change in movement or thought will affect the energy within and around you. Take up one act of kindness for yourself and allow this act of kindness to wash over you and cleanse your spirit.
Stop for a moment to smell a rose, observe a sunrise or sunset, feed your body nourishing food and drink, write a love letter to yourself or to someone else, rest, read a good book, unplug the phone and computer.
Just stop for a moment (or more), rise up and treat yourself to what you deserve – Kindness and Self Care.
