Finding Balance in Our Life
The Archangels Tell Us How
Last night I read an article written by my friend, Ahna Hendrix. I was a guest on her podcast a few weeks ago, and I think very highly of Ahna. She’s a genuinely caring, giving person, and she loves to help others through her teaching, mentoring, and reading of the Akashic Records. She bared her soul in this article about how she had burned herself out and was trying to work on boundaries and finding some balance.
I highly recommend the article, as it is descriptive of what so many of us do. We keep pushing through, telling ourselves we can do this, bribing ourselves with the thought that if I can just get through this week,…, and blocking out our needs, putting ourselves last. Of particular interest to me was her sharing that you can burn yourself out even when you’re doing things you love that you find rewarding and fulfilling. You should read the article.
Anyway, Ahna reminds me of a younger me. I’ve neglected myself and my needs to the point of affecting my health, just pushing through, no matter how hard it was or how much I suffered. I put my husband, kids, students, job, house, and other things ahead of me on my to do list. It’s easier now that I’m retired and my kids are grown, but I still have my moments when I need a break. The difference now is I listen to myself and make sure I give myself…
