3 Minute Retreat - Protecting Your Energy

Protecting your energy…

Do you practice protecting your energy?

I have been practicing this for most of my life, but these passing days I have been reminded more and more of its importance.

As a single mom, it is something I must do to parent a situation as I know best. It is taking a deep breath knowing that overly engaging won’t help the situation. Trusting your instincts and inner knowledge creates balance. They must discover truths in their own time. I can’t rush it, and it could be endless.
​
Protect your energy.

As a human in the world we live in today, it is a necessity. No amount of debate, information or reasoning is going to calm or change the mind of those firmly set in their beliefs. Life will unfold to be the ultimate teacher.

Protect your energy.

Protecting your energy is sacred. It is honoring the space around you. It is valuing your body, mind and spirit to a level knowing that at times you must put yourself first.

We aren’t always taught that from the beginning. We can come to the story by putting our kids first, putting our partners needs before ours and essentially rescuing the world around us before rescuing ourselves.

I am reminding myself today that it is ok to protect my energy. It is ok to put myself before others. It is ok to value self-care.

How can you practice protecting your energy today?
