Show Up

Dear Friends,

I lost my voice this past week…it is exceedingly rare that I cancel classes, but with no voice, I felt I didn’t have a choice but to cancel one of the days this past week.  I rested my voice and my body the whole day…watched a good bit of TV and slept, and the following day I was up and about to teach…my voice certainly wasn’t 100%, but it was good enough.

I think there are times when we feel overwhelmed with the world around us, and therefore get discouraged and shut down…it’s a completely normal response to too much stimulus, and sometimes it’s the right thing to do.  There are times when we need to shut out the world and simply rest our bodies, our nervous systems.

And yet, there are times when we need to show up…even in the full knowledge that we can never be 100%, that we will never fix everything…we still need to show up in the ways we can. 

My dear friend, I hope this week you can have the discernment to rest when you need to rest, and to show up when it’s time to show up.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista
