I am glad that you are feeling better. I had a serious migrane a couple of weeks ago and it forced me to retreat to my bedroom. I spent the entire day in the dark and simply laid there. At first, it was the hardest thing to do. I don't "rest" well, and I was supposed to be leaving the following day for a week. I had no choice, but to listen to my body and stop. I love the word "tender" because it has less guilt and judgement around it. Tending to my body and listening has been coming up more and more. I think that my age and life's cirumstances are trying to talk to me. Thank you for the reminder!
I'd never thought of it this way, but I will now! I have no problem taking time for a nap in the middle of the day, but it's usually necessary since I'm pushing so hard the rest of the time. I could take a page from your book for sure and reimagine that a little. Still recovering from my bout with the virus as well, glad you're feeling better!
So sorry to hear y’all have been sick! I love this idea of being tender to oneself. What a wonderful fruit of self-compassion. Healing and hugs to you!
Glad you all are feeling better. I love your writings and love the idea of being tender to oneself. I was very sick over the weekend and feeling so much better now. Taking a nap or just resting during the day has helped so much! Thanks for the reminder ❤️❤️🙏
Puts me in mind of Otis Redding's Try a Little Tenderness, which is a fine idea and good line for a chorus (the verses are condescending re the "young girls" but fwiw Otis didn't write it). It is a rockin' word, tenderness. In the same way, I don't like the word "nap", seems a little juvenile, so I call it a siesta. Framing is important!
My pitta energy since the time change has been on fire. I'm also in my follicular phase so tad manic. But I'll save"be tender" in my back pocket for when I crash, which is bound to happen. Glad your fam is on the mend.
Sorry you were all sick and glad you’re feeling better. I feel you. The past 6 months almost every 2 weeks someone in my family has been sick. I find myself weary of this, dreading it and wishing just for a normal month. My energy is like a yo yo as I move through it. But in this weird way I wonder if it’s my karma to learn to work through this. Thanks for this reminder. Your work has helped me so much. It’s as simple as me hearing you and Jason talking about naps on the podcast, reminding me to learn that it’s ok for this, the importance of rest and self care, and learning this is what I also need.
