I’ve decided to construct an emergency toolbox. It will have tools to help me repair emergency leaks, breakdowns, etc. Of course, I’m not talking a conventional toolbox, but more of a toolbox of strength.
When I’m feeling the need for reinforcement it is usually because I am overtired, overworked, or some other “over” that I am not giving myself enough care and attention. It becomes hard to lean on the tools I know are there. So I’m going to try to make them more accessible and more apparent so that I lean on them a little more.
What’s in my toolbox? My ipod filled with songs that inspire me, books by people that inspire me, going to bed early, daily Yoga practice, regular exercise, loving friends, respecting my body ...and it just keeps growing.
Today I’m grateful for my health, my friends (and family), my cat, the painting I bought this weekend that speaks to me spiritually, and the amazing experience of having a bird sit on my hand in the wild.
