Six months. Honestly, where has that gone?

Six months. Honestly, where has that gone?

I haven't dropped in and commented for about 6 months ~ time is flying..... Sorry Xxxx

SO > I am here... checking in. With myself. With this space. Wondering who's out there quietly reading and not quite ready to type something yet.

So here's a simple one to get us talking ... no right answer

What's one thing your body has been telling you lately that you've been trying to ignore?

Could be big. Could be "I haven't drunk enough water in three days." All of it counts.

I'll start in the comments.....

Re: Six months. Honestly, where has that gone?

Hope everyone is doing ok. Honestly? I wasn't last week.....

The world just felt like too much > all at once, from all directions. That particular kind of overwhelm where you can't even point at one thing, it's just... everything, everywhere, at the same time.

So I got out. Went to the mountains with some Army mates. We spent a night at a rainforest temple doing a group meditation and I'll be real, I wasn't sure I had the headspace for it going in. But something about being in the trees, with people who just get it without needing it explained... my system started to settle.

It didn't fix everything. But it reminded me I'd drifted from myself a bit and that's useful information.

So this week I'm making myself a priority again. Not in a grand overhaul way. Just... back on the list. Among the other tasks, not buried under them.

Anyone else been through a patch like that lately? Where you couldn't quite name it, you just felt it?
