You go and go and go some more, toiling in so many different ways. It’s easy to fall into a pattern, with no room for checking in. You see to the needs of so many others, and then forget to look within.

It's time to power down, To ease yourself out of the grind. Close your eyes and take a breath. Clear all thoughts from your mind. You've been working so very hard for hours and likely days. You go and go and go some more, Toiling in so many ways. It's easy to fall into a pattern with no room for checking in. You see to the needs of so many others and then forget to look within. Your heart is in the right place. Your intentions are the best. You don't mean to neglect yourself as you do so much work without rest. But the time has come to make a change, To turn your attention inward. Use this time, This twilight time, To recoup what's been deferred. Start by being still and quiet. Let your body slow its pace. From mind to heart to muscles and cells. Give yourself some space. Listen to the sound of your breathing. Tune into the gentle beat of your heart. Hear your body's music. Let the background noise depart. When you feel in touch with your rhythm. When you feel calm and serene. Let your mind drift where it wants. What secrets are begging to be seen? Look at the things you've held out of sight. As you rush to keep up with the world. Look for what needs your attention. For the thoughts that have gone unheard. Think about what's been missing for you in recent days and weeks. What fell to the bottom of the list? Has the squeaky wheel got its grease? It's only human nature to respond to what calls your name. But sometimes those calls never seem to cease. And it's your spirit that feels the pain. There's a special kind of exhaustion. That results from over-serving. Once it starts, It's tough to stop. And even harder to feel deserving. Though it may seem scary to make a change. It doesn't have to be drastic. Instead of throwing things out of your life. You can try a softer tactic. Use this time at the end of each day. To bring your thoughts back to you. Choose a yearning that went unseen. Make a promise to see it through. Tune in to the whispers of your soul. Listen to what it's prompting you to do. Imagine how it would feel to take a leap. To explore something exciting and new. Even more than the novelty. What matters is the choice. To hear what your spirit needs from you. This is the first step to hearing your voice. It takes quite a bit of practice. To make yourself a priority. But each tiny step has massive power. Each one gives more authority. Though life would have us ignore these clues. To do so takes a toll. Once you learn to consult yourself. You realize soon you're whole. So just breathe. And get started. Taking the time for yourself. To learn what you need and embrace it. Even when the world demands something else. Namaste. Beautiful.
