⚡Me Time And Following My Heart Is More Important Than Money⚡

in #life7 years ago

I came to a realization lately that my work is overwhelming so much, that I am losing myself in it.

So in order for me to gain my sanity, peace of mind and to take proper care of myself, I have decided to start working only two days a week.

Being myself is way more important than the money I have in my bank

Yes, I am taking quite a big hit on the financial side but hey, it’s totally worth it.

My job and money are not worth me feeling not myself and struggling to keep my head above water emotionally and spiritually.

Fuck, I need my OWN time where I can meditate, create and just be at peace without anyone wanting anything from me.

I NEED my freedom.

I know that there are people that find me very dramatic and feel like I am pathetic for not being able to work a full workweek.

But literally, I do not care.

My emotional wellbeing is number one in my life and I need to protect it with all that I have.

These are my principles and values that I stand behind.
Always have and always will.

I am different than other people.
I know.

I listen to myself.
To what my intuition is saying to me.

And this is the right way.

Plus I feel like I am not able to give all I can to this wonderful community here and that bugs me out a lot too.

I want to be on here.
Writing.
Curating.
Interacting.
Connecting.
Creating.

Being an active participant of the Steem ecosystem.

Which by the way, is the following of my heart.

Everything in my being is calling me to be here more.

So I need to listen to that.

Follow my heart.

And that means I need to ‘sacrifice’ some other parts of my life

But it is not a problem.

I am a woman who lives in the flow of life and has serious conversation with her intution and heart to discover what I need and what I want.

And this is what I want!

Sometimes you need to take a leap of faith to create a life that you believe in.

This is my leap.

Of faith.

From my heart.

BIG love,

Ashley

So important to follow those threads in life that bring us in alignment and I applaud your process of reckoning and discovering and I'm sure it will continue to evolve!

Something must have been in the cosmos yesterday because I was struggling reaching reckoning withe structure of my life, my time and yearning for time to take care of myself and trying to figure out how to simplify all of my various pursuits! I too am pulled and long to spend more of my time and give more of myself to the steem ecosystem. That's where my heart is too......and oh how to figure out how to find time for all of it!! Anyway, good to read this and see your process, it's always helpful to witness. love to you!

Thank you for sharing your insights! Check out the growing mindfulness community here on Steemit when you hit road bumps, there are many blogs on meditation in my followed list.

Good thinking. I dropped to a 2.5 day week for similar reasons. Makes sense!
