ME Day!

Rumor has it that Jupiter is moving into my 10th house astrologically (is that an actual word?).  I am told this house is about our place in the world/work/career.  Maybe that explains my sudden motivation to do everything at once.  Not only am I getting ready to launch a couple of programs based around my EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) work, yes my lovely Goddesses, you are at the top of my list.  I am also putting together a business based on a long time hobby of making bath and body products and I am writing again.   Jupiter is about luck and expansion or so I am told and I intend to use it to the fullest of my advantage.  I am not an Astrologer but I am happy to utilize anything the Universe chooses to send my way and that includes a  bright, shiny Jupiter transit.

Of course with all of this going on, I have had to catch myself and remember to take time to have some fun and just take care of myself.   For me one of the biggest things I have to keep in mind when I go into hypermode is to give my body what it needs.  I can easily sit in front of the computer all day and write, etc... and not think about eating until my stomach is screaming so loud that the neighbors can hear it growl.

Over the past two weeks, I have started to make a point that when I get up in the morning to make my coffee, I also make a smoothie of some kind.  Nothing fancy, just a bit of fruit (usually mangos from the freezer section), juice and a bit of protein/vitamin powder.  This gives me the extra kick, I need in the morning and it kicks my metabolism into gear.  I have also started keeping things in the fridge that I can just reach in and eat on the go.  Grapes, individually wrapped cheese sticks, grape tomatoes, etc... which means I can eat many times a day, keep my metabolism moving and still keep writing or whatever it is that I am focused on in the moment.

This morning, I looked in the mirror and realized that my usual summer tan was no place to be found.  I am pretty pale which is a bad thing because I just had my hair highlighted and I really love the way it looks but seriously, I need some color to really accent how it looks.  I also noticed I was wearing gray yoga pants and a t-shirt.  Not my best look and certainly my sign that I am not giving enough attention to myself and my needs.  Yoga pants are the thing that I wear when I am too busy to take care of myself.  My nails are mess, the color is chipped and peeling off (actually it's wearing off because it's been that long) and in general, I look frumpy!

I have decided, today is ME day.  I can work if I choose, but I am taking me and my Nook reader outside and I am going to bask in the glorious sunshine and a good book.  I might even call my niece to come over and do my nails for me.  She is really wonderful with a camera, so many I'll have her take some photos as well.

It doesn't matter what I do, as long as I am taking care of all of me today.  It's wonderful to be motivated but make sure that whatever it is you are doing, you remember to take care of yourself, body, mind and soul.  As much as others might need you, you can't take care of anyone else if you haven't taken care of yourself first.

Live With Passion
