I’m lying in bed, with a Jack Russell squashed by my side and a huge mug of Yorkshire tea next to me. The birds are singing to each other right outside my window and occasionally I can hear dog walkers, strolling past, towards the footpath. My duvet is over my bare legs and the window is open allowing beautifully cool air into my room, just how I like it. Laying here brings me huge satisfaction. In fact, it might be more than that. I think it feels like total peace.
The last few weeks have been very busy and my sleep debt has been building. The less sleep I got, the weaker I felt. I became less capable, less able to concentrate and my muscles felt too tired to carry me with my normal spring. I became irritable and had very little patience, feeling guilty for moments where my empathy didn’t extend further than my home. I need to remember the importance of my sleep. My productivity goes up when my hours of good quality sleep goes up too! To lay here, just be still, be present and not to even consider thoughts of guilt or what I ‘should’ or could be doing is heavenly.
Soon I’m going to download some audiobooks. Just the thought excites me. New adventures to imagine, love stories to adore and worlds for me to dance through. These books are going to turn the mundane parts of next week into the bits that I really look forward to.
In theory, I have a big ‘to do’ list, although I rarely choose to write them down. I know that the list is bigger than what I could achieve in a day, so I’m going to change my approach. I will do the most important things first but my goal for today is going to be peace. Peace in my body, peace in my spirit and peace in my brain.
My mug of tea is nearly gone now so I’m going downstairs to brew another. As I type I’m already planning on going outside while the kettle boils. I want to feel the grass under my toes, the breeze against my legs and I want the earth to know how grateful I am to be here.
Peace filled love to you
