What skills or lessons have you learned recently?
The lessons I have learned recently is to always follow my faith and to practise self care and mindfulness at the first signs of things possibly going awry.
It has been very warm here in Melbourne. We are experiencing our first extreme heatwave of the summer season. Last night, I did sleep in the heat,but the heat obviously disturbed me, and I ended up waking after having a truly terrible dream. I knew when I woke feeling distressed what to do. I started to listen to music 🎶 and to take my 🌄 routine very slowly, practising mindfulness and being gentle with myself and giving Lily a lot of attention. I knew to let people know about my dream, as sometimes it could be very triggering for me. Now that I have had a good morning and talked to my support network, I feel at peace and contented. The effects of extreme heat can play with our mind, so I am going to be very gentle with myself and keep as cool as possible. It is amazing how extreme weather events can affect our minds.
I have learned very well through experience to be very self-aware and practice self care to keep myself well.
