Listening to Yourself – I was Tired, So I Took Time Off Today

October 13, 2014 by Priyanka Leave a Comment

This morning, I felt like sleeping in and not showing up for work. But I had to show up and I did. I logged onto the our weekly conference call to hear the latest updates and assignments for the week.

Slow Down and Relax

Slow Down and Relax

Something Wonderful Happened…

Our boss decided to give us a day off in honor of Columbus Day. Our entire team woo hoo-ed and got off the call. I felt happy that I was going to have the rest of the day free!

I work from home, so I jumped into the shower and scrubbed myself clean, grinning.

Then, My Chest Tightened…

I felt fear pricking my chest. My heart started beating. Yes, I didn’t have to work today, but I had a million other tasks to do. My mind screamed at me: Who the heck is going to complete those errands? Use your day off to get all that other stuff done.

Now, I didn’t want to slow down and spend the day relaxing. I felt like I should be getting my affairs in order.

But It didn’t Feel Right

But my heart didn’t want that. My soul craved relaxation and comfort. So I surrendered to my heart instead. I decided the million other things could wait.

And I did indeed. I made myself a delicious breakfast of scrambled eggs, Indian masala chai, and yogurt. Afterwards, I took a 2 hour nap. When I woke up, I felt this beautiful serenity overcome me. I also went grocery shopping and bought a load of veggies and other treats for myself.

Sometimes, it’s important to surround myself with stillness so I can enjoy the simple things and be fully present. Now I can be filled with energy the rest of the week!

What is your experience of listening to yourself? Please share with me in the comments.

With Love, Priyanka
