It's a close call but I still have time left in the day to complete my gratitude challenge at only day 3! If you follow the Facebook page or Instagram account, you may have seen my latest video from this morning. I was feeling horribly out-of-sorts with so much to get down in a short amount of time; so many late nights, too much pub grub and too much beer for the last few weeks. I proposed that maintaining a clean space is a means to maintain a clean headspace...the point of the matter is that I was feeling extremely unwell and this continued into my day.
My head this morning was definately spacey and slow to the point where any task, like brushing my teeth for example, became an overwhelmingy huge task that I had no idea where to begin. I reluctantly pushed through my morning exercise routine, my body aching and trembling and I continued to fumble around and ache thoughout my day. Work was arduous and there was lots of bending forward to do dishes or to lift boxes or to run food to a table very quickly across this massive pub I just came home from work just now at this late hour after not having stopped all day and the first thing I did was sit down on my yoga mat. My poor body, completely exhausted, tight and still trembling. It got me thinking, my body never ever gives up on me. If I tell my body to keep standing whilst my back muscels throb and burn, it will continue to stand. My feet never get a rest and will keep holding the entire weight of my body up. Right this moment I am not letting myself go to sleep because I need to finish this blog and my body is trying its darned hardest help me get through this last part of my day. I am so grateful for my body that I am struggling to put into words. It is a an incredible machine that even the most savvy engineer in the world could not design a robot replicate. Every cell of every organ all working in harmony, healing and growing, healing and growing. It so interesting to me in this moment how our bodies, when under dire circumstances, will find strength it did not have before in order to survive, yet our minds will so easily give up on the body; self-doubt polluting the art of being. Laying on my yoga mat was the most incredible feeling I had felt in the last few weeks. I could feel my body thanking me for taking the time to understand its hardships and aches and pains. I focused my attention on becoming curious about where and why I was sore, brushing off any monkey-ish thoughts that popped up into my mind. I explored the aches and gently eased the tension and my body responded in such gentle way that I was flooded with the feelings of love, support, understanding and above all, a graitude that I don't ever want to forget. Time to get some sleep now. Thankyou body, for being so remarkable, loving, strong and diligent in our journey of healing and happiness. Dare to Ignite

AuthorMy name is Brittney and my life pursuit has been that of self-improvement and growth. It took me a long time to realize that I don't really fit into societies model that you need to go to school, find a career, strive to be extremely succesful to then get married and have kids, ever acquiring material objects. There is nothing wrong with this model at all and for those who can embrace this with whole-hearted happiness, keep going with it. Archives
