Yesterday I was feeling wildly out of sorts, and honestly, some of that frustration landed at my husband’s feet. He was simply nearby while I was quietly ignoring my own needs.
This morning, meditation helped me shift my perspective.
I realized I was perfectly willing to spend the day riding around as a passenger, collecting Marketplace treasures, rather than simply saying, “I need to go home and spend time in my garden.”
That may sound small, even superficial, to someone else. But I cannot be alone in this. It is so common to lose touch with what we need that we do not even recognize it happening. Then the discomfort builds, and it becomes very easy to cast blame on the nearest person.
Our needs do not need to be dramatic or urgent to matter. Sometimes they are simple: quiet, rest, fresh air, space, a change of pace, or time doing something that brings us back to ourselves.
When I do not name what I need, frustration tends to speak for me. When I honour what I need, I am more grounded, loving, and available for everyone around me.
My wellbeing is not a “first world problem.” (Yes I felt it was yesterday) It is part of my responsibility. I have a voice, and I can use it with kindness before resentment starts writing the story for me.
We can read all the books and know all the things, but growth happens when we recognize the role we play in how we feel, speak our truth, and choose a small change in the direction of peace. ✌️ 🙂 . Feeling grounded, loving and peaceful- shift happens 😉 Can’t wait to see some of my favourite peoples today and tomorrow!!
