Sacred time
I have come to know the early mornings as my sacred time. It has not always been this way haha x
I used to have to drag myself out of bed to be honest. Sleep was my refuge from life.
In my journey back to myself - I had to create space to connect with "me" - to just be. Within this space & time. It was often slower, it involved creativity, it involved connecting with myself & my body, it involved learning new things - opening myself up to new ideas & ways of being, It may be just silent, it may just be still, it was definitely SLOW, it was in a space that I created just for me & it was F#C*N EARLY IN THE MORNING lol
I found something
Within myself. Actually I ended up finding myself. In the peace, in the solitude, in the silence.
Just like the picture above - it was like this shining treasure that I had found AND it was AMAZING.
I was excited to get up! To be. To create. To just DO ME. However that may look.
It was/is a time of connection with self & the environment around me.
A lot of observing in silence.
A lot of noticing.
A lot of learning.
I had to FIND the time
Our lives are busy. We all have various responsibilities.
I had to find the time & the easiest way was to get up earlier. Boom just like that 2-3 extra hours in my day JUST FOR ME! It was revelatory!
Yes I had to get out of my comfy bed. Push through that discomfort. But trust me when I say the pay off has been HUGE!
What I have found & created for myself - Far out weighs the value of the comfort of sleep.
Now, not every one has to get up hours earlier - but just image perhaps 15 - 30mins of your day just for yourself to move slower. To just be. To connect with yourself.
Before you jump into action. Doing. Connecting with the outside world etc
That last 30min or whatever it is in bed when you are snuggling into the feeling of comfort - Something else awaits for you my friend.
POSSIBILITITES! GROWTH! ALIGNMENT! YOURSELF!
It takes a bit of a push - yes. That's what change & growth feels like - Pushing through that sense of discomfort so to speak.
There is SO MUCH just waiting for us - In the carving out of this time to be with self (whatever that may mean to you - It will be different to us all)
Honouring Self
Ultimately we need to make a decision to commit to ourselves. There comes a time for us all - Where we notice - what we are doing is no longer working & a shift is needed.
Often it requires just choosing ourselves - which will look different to us all.
For me, my vehicle for that was the carving out of time & well the only time I could find was in the morning "before the day started" - cause life is FULL!
Its ok though - I love it this way. I am grateful. One day I know life will not be so busy.
Having my sacred time has allowed me to have a greater sense of balance & solidify my connection to self - Not to mention birthed all that is Conscious Crystals!
It really was a commitment to honouring myself - In what ever form this would then take on in that time that I created for myself.
It was my commitment to myself.
It was honouring myself.
Creating space for my journey back to me.
Man I am grateful for the commitment I made back then.
There is potential there my friend, just waiting for you to tap into.
Carve out space & time for you.
You are worth it.
With love, Millisa x
