During those times when our lives are filled with what seems to be constant
change and growth, it is important to remember that we need to be gentle with
ourselves. Since it can be easy to use our energy to keep up with the momentum
of our lives, we may not be aware of the fact that we are much more likely to
run ourselves down. When things seem to be moving quickly, it is especially
essential that we make a point to slow down and be gentle with ourselves.
It might be difficult to notice what is happening to us for we may be so caught
up in the whirlwind of our lives that we lose sight of the direction in which
things are heading. Being gentle with ourselves doesn't mean that we don't
accomplish things. Instead it means that we honor ourselves on an ongoing basis
and take care of the needs of our bodies.
This means different things to different people. For instance, it could mean
having a session with a healer; taking a remedy, herbs, or vitamins; or getting
extra sleep. Putting our energy into ourselves in this way helps create space
for a more positive, loving, and accepting view of our lives. By setting the
intention to do so, we will be more cognizant of our energy levels on a daily
basis and more able to replenish them as needed.
The more we are able to treat our bodies with gentleness, the more tenderness
and compassion we will call forth into our lives. Learning to understand and
pay attention to what our self needs will in turn allow us to fill our lives
with unlimited loving and healing energy and to truly take care of the things
that mean the most to us.
