Hi y'all,
This will not be a long post. Last week was my first week at my new place of work and decided to give myself one week of feeling the longer hours without pressuring myself in adding runs, gym and yoga to it too. I decided my first week I was allowed some space. Space to feel the all that is meeting new people, space to try and wrap my head around all the new information and worklows, space to ask questions and space to listen, really listen. The week was over so so fast and though I had a great deal to remember and try to get perspective on I still felt like I had some head space left, energy and positivity.
One important lesson I learned over the past couple of years is that I am capable of getting 'it' done and my projects tend to get big. Aim for the moon and land between the stars right? That being said it also means that I am quite capable of burning myself to ashes and this time around i've decided to not do that. The easy thing to do is to completely immerse and become one with everything, tie a knot between what drives me and what I need to do to get 'it' done and with that break myself once the 'it' is done. I do not want that for myself anymore. I can be kind to myself and enjoy learning new things and not fret about making mistakes.
Yesterday I entered a new year of my life. My 47th one on this planet and I am happy where I am at this very minute. I am surrounded by people that mean something to me, that really know me and who really care for me like I do for them. So this year my new years resolution is to come home to myself. To listen more carefully to my gut feeling, to trust that the people that I know and love have my best interest at heart and to feel at ease as is. Being quiet when I'm angry as hell, listening in stead of giving advice, recognizing that my emotions to stories told to me are mine and usually not helpful to who's telling the story. All in all this year coming home to me means finding ease in being silent and that to me is huge. This might seem like not much of a challenge but it is. For me it is.
Last week I didn't run, this week I will try getting 3 runs in and work and from that I will build up to what I'm used to. Time to adjust to the new and be kind to myself while doing so.
That's it for now, until we read again
As always, love Marlies
