When I need to teach a lesson, the Universe, in all of her infinite wisdom, promptly provides me with the experience, platform and opportunity.
I planned to make this week a personal self care week. This has been a regular part of my life for quite some time (years) and serves many purposes. Because I know myself, I've become an expert at caring for myself. For example, I do not react well to stress, therefore, I keep quiet time, engage in rituals, and use specific strategies like unplugging, to de-stress. I also know I'm an introvert, but most of my closest friends are gregarious, so, sometimes I have to take space and time for myself and Mother Nature, which could include lunch in the park or walking in the rain.
Long story short, this was a week I planned to take all to myself... Until my computer died... Then my car! I spent the week talking shop with my mechanic, researching parts requirements and checking specs on new computers.
Although it was not my goal or preferred set of activities for the week, I'm proud to say that I was able to maintain a level head, a positive attitude and repeat my lovely solution focused mantra - there is a solution for every problem - which helped me make it through the week sane and stress free.
I know for a fact that this was only possible due to a deep well of positive energy and positive thinking, because other people were more upset about my "problems" than I was! I worked hard to remain in a state of grace by saying "thank you" softly, loudly, publicly and privately until I got everything I needed and more.
Positivity is powerful, and coupled with gratitude, it becomes amazing!
