Message of the day - Jan 14, 2018 - "I turn every experience into an opportunity"

Today I took the idea of "lazy Sunday" to a whole new level. The only active thing today was my morning 1,5h yoga session. But then I allowed my body to rest and sleep as long as it needed. And it needed a lot :)...

So much that only now in the evening I managed to get myself to write this post.

So let's (slowly) get to the 3 keys for today:

Introspection

Meditation

Conscious breathing

.

The Soul Solution for a pitfall caused by my low energy and a headache:

Breathe deeply and listen to the signals of your body. Treat your body with love, care and attention and allow it to rest, heal, recharge as long as it needs.

The Louise Hay card I picked up is

"I turn every experience into an opportunity."

And on the back of the card it says:

"Every problem has a solution. All experiences are for me opportunities to learn and progress. I am safe."

Today was again a slow day for me. I tried to figure out the cause of my low energy and headache that made me stay in bed for half the day. I think it might be a combination of the drastic weather change, the cure with epsom salt I started 3 days ago that started a mild detox process combined with my muscles aching from the intense yoga training of yesterday and today. I don't know what it is but I listened to my body and I allowed myself to rest for as long as I needed.

I tried to meditate on my breath while I was lying in bed with my eyes closed and observe the thoughts that were running through my head. I practiced coming back to the breath whenever I noticed my mind was roaming free like a crazy monkey.

Bringing awareness on my thoughts whenever I deal with some physical pain or discomfort helps me stay focused on finding solutions and remedies and not give in to the panicky thoughts that would make the situation worse. This practice helps me go through the inevitable pains and aches of having a human body with more grace and ease.

I hope that sharing my experience is of use to anyone dealing with pains and aches.

And hopefully tomorrow I'll have a more joyful message to share.

In love and light!

Namaste
