Sometimes I just need a nap

How funny that my last post was called “Always at peace”, because it’s as though the Universe has been testing me on that over the last couple of days.

I have been frustrated in dealing with something I tried to get closure on at the end of the year. It seems to have crept into my new year, and it’s distracting me. I have also been frustrated by a situation in which I didn’t listen to my guidance. You know, one of those things where you just had the “feeling”? You just knew you should do something, but you ignore it, hoping that what you’re feeling is not right. And then when the consequences show up in your life as a result of not following that feeling, you say to yourself, “I knew it!” Unfortunately, that happened to me yesterday as well.

So, stuff seemed to start piling up. Fortunately though, I know better than to go down the road of gathering up more crap to add to the pile of frustration. I know I cannot stay in that space of being frustrated by things, then add to it by thinking about all the other things also not going right. I really know the consequences of that!

So for me, when things start feeling a bit too much, I take a nap. I LOVE my sleep! Even though I’ve heard too much sleeping could be a sign of depression, I would never put that label on myself, especially because these days I do not stay in my upset for too long at all. I simply feel bad for a bit, beat myself up mentally for as short of time as possible, take a nap, and then wake up having let it go.

While I’m not sure all of that is the best way to go, I am still proud that I only stay in the place of frustration for a short amount of time. And while I have not yet mastered how to live a life void of less-than-perfect-days, I will surely always stay dedicated to returning to my preferred state of peace.

Sleep brings me peace. It ended up being a VERY long nap last night. In fact, I slept so long, it would be embarrassing to admit here. But I feel much better today. I am happy to see the sun out today and to also have been invited to yet another SJ Sharks game for tonight (box seats even!). The Universe has again reminded me today that ALL IS WELL. I had my sleep and it’s now time to get back to my good life. Whatever happened before today has already happened. It’s over and there’s nothing more to do about it in this moment. After all, this moment is perfect actually!

Have a great weekend!
