The Language of Letting Go, April 8
APRIL 8
You are reading from the book "The Language of Letting Go."
Self Care
I don't precisely know what you need to do to take care of yourself. But I know you can figure it out.
--Beyond Codependency
Rest when you're tired.
Take a drink of cold water when you're thirsty.
Call a friend when you're lonely.
Ask Higher Power to help when you feel overwhelmed.
Many of us have learned how to deprive and neglect ourselves. Many of us have learned to push ourselves hard when the problem is that we already pushed too hard.
Many of us are afraid the work won't get done if we rest when we're tired. The work will get done; it will be done better than work that emerges from tiredness of soul and spirit. Nurtured, nourished people, who love themselves and care for themselves, are the delight of the Universe.
They are well timed, efficient and Divinely led.
Today, I will practice loving self-care.

I'm working on that second part. Ha, almost said "working hard", but that would defeat the purpose, right? This and the April 1 reading work together. To that end, I'm going to do a short meditation and then off to the bread on a rainy AM!
Wishing you all a good day.
