I realize that it's been a couple of weeks since I wrote last, and in truth it had nothing to do with 'not having anything to talk about' and everything to do with simply taking a step back and really letting my last article sink in.
Some times when I write, I feel more like a conduit for the messages versus being in the driver's seat; which I am not complaining about, but some times it takes me by surprise.
As I am preparing to take the next step in my journey, I thought I owed it to myself to simply take a break for a little while. Take a break from Facebook and my groups, take a break from watching Netflix and YouTube, I even took a small break from work (thank you vacation time.)
Every once in a while, we as humans just need a break. A break from our typical routines, a break from the people we see everyday (with a few exceptions as necessary), a break from the internet, really a break from any and everything that we allow to demand attention from us. Most of the time that includes the things that we love the most.
I know that I personally try avoiding extensive breaks simply because I have this habit of not coming back to things, I do eventually, but it can take time. It can feel like I'm losing momentum, and that in and of itself can be the very indication that I need to just listen to my intuition, and slow down.
I am beginning to be able to pinpoint the areas of my life where I don't trust myself as much as I do in other areas, and it's so interesting to me, because they are such little things in the grand scheme of things. Like coming back to write in this blog for example, it's not like I have any sort of schedule for myself unless it comes to the Full Moon postings or any postings regarding the Wheel of the Year.
I just don't work that way, in fact trying to have to many time restrictions and I become more tired and more resistant to writing at all. I end up feeling like I let myself down, or my readers down, and that's simply not the case.
I would so much rather give myself the break, and come back when I feel called to do so, and to just chat as I am doing now. Perhaps it's the fact that Saturn went into retrograde today, that I am feeling the ease of simply slowing down (being a Capricorn and all.)
Slowly but surely I am beginning to realize that I need to be as gentle and caring with myself as I am with others. I've lacked balance in that respect for such a long time that I think this break was perfect for what I needed.
I will also admit that there is a sense of readiness to return to my routines, I know that if I stray too far and my relaxation turns into laziness, and being that it's a rather fine line for me to begin with, I do my best to stay active.
Being that that I am currently having trouble remembering that we are in April now, I will do my best to stay on track and not let my April Full Moon Tarot Reading be late. I'm very interested to see if Saturn Retrograde will play a part in next weeks reading.
