The Stories Stars Tell: Relationship to Self
I need to recharge my batteries.
In honor of this week’s theme—relationship to self— I was going to write about the ways we struggle with the Doubt Committee in our heads, but the I realized, I’m struggling with my own. So, listening to my internal compass, I’m going to take a much needed break to recharge my batteries (and prepare for Hurricane Douglas which is heading toward Hawaiʻi). If the hurricane passes us by (which I hope is the case), I’ll be back next in August.
So, friends while Iʻm gone, you have an assignment to ponder for yourself:
How do you take care of yourself? How do you know when itʻs time to do so?
How do you refill your well?
How do you address the missing pieces in your life?
How do you quiet the Doubt Committee?
I’ll see you in a week.
