Day 38
Surrender! #strong #crystalelixir
So it seems that this sore throat wanted more from me this weekend. It well and truly scuppered my plans for today.
?
We had it all planned out. Me, my beautiful marmie, my sister and a great friend were leaving bright and early to travel to Snowdonia.
We were to join a group of wild wonderful swimmers for a chilly dip in a lake nestled in the mountains. ?
However, most of my night was spent sipping crystal elixir. Trying to calm my sore throat and my growing frustration.
The more I tossed and turned trying to find a cool slice of duvet, the hotter I became. ?
Eventually surrendering to the fact that a freezing open water swim was not the best remedy for the start of a cold.
?
Feeling calmer as a decision had been made, sleep eventually came.
?
It took me a while to sit and meditate today. Even though my higher self was nudging me. Then eventually down right shouting at me. To just sit. I still took my sweet time.
?
For me old habits creep in when I’m unwell and I was very aware of them all.
They were all negative and sounding like this:
‘why would you sit on the floor right now to meditate, your too ill’
‘Just rest you don’t need to meditate’
‘Let’s just wallow in this and not help ourselves’
‘Who meditates when they’re ill?’
‘Treat yourself to a day off’
All the usual nasties came up, which was quite a surprise. Because as of late, I really look forward to having a chat and energy hug with my higher self in my daily meditation.
But the treats for me today were accepting my day was not as I planned. And, I still had a wonderful day! Spent with with my scrumptious husband and daughter.
?
I rested, watched movies and I definitely meditated to raise my vibration, which hopefully pinged off any nasties trying to over power me.
?
I lit my favourite crystal candle, anointed it with my Rose Quartz Elixir oil and then massaged some onto my chest and throat. This felt so healing and soothing.
?
All wonderful self care treats with love and crystal.
I may not feel super “strong” today but it will pass and tomorrow’s another.…
