Chapter 1: The Awakening

Today, I had a realization that struck me deeply—it's nearly 6:00 PM, and I finally understand the necessity of giving myself the time needed to properly heal from my injuries. I must allow myself to take it easy and follow the right path toward a complete recovery. For this to happen, I must confront a challenging truth.

I need to stop attempting to juggle everything and please everyone around me. It’s crucial that I prioritize my well-being, along with the people and values that matter most:

• My Health
• My Family
• God and Mother Earth

To make any meaningful progress, I need to concentrate solely on my recovery and tackle one significant task each day. Right now, I can't manage multiple responsibilities, but I can excel at completing one task thoroughly.

For example, I can dedicate an entire day to preparing a meal that will last for several days. I must approach this slowly and with caution, as my current condition limits my ability to chop ingredients swiftly, carry items, or move my body comfortably. Even the lightest weights feel cumbersome, and any attempt to move quickly only leads to discomfort.

As unfortunate as it sounds, I feel like I’ve been in a car accident. My body has been contorted into awkward positions, and now everything seems to ache! It frustrates me that I can't do more around the house or assist my clients and friends, especially when I’m already pushing my limits. My husband has been incredibly supportive, trying to help me recognize the need to slow down.

A significant project for me right now, which would have once been one of many tasks on a normal day, now consumes my entire day and leaves me feeling exhausted, sore, and possibly in pain.

Currently, not only am I unable to work, but I also struggle with most daily activities. Although I have a bit more capacity than before, it’s still a far cry from what I could accomplish in a day.

My husband understands, and perhaps a few others do as well, but I doubt many who know me fully grasp the extent of my struggle. My body has endured significant trauma, and I am just beginning to acknowledge this reality. Accepting my situation is essential for my healing journey, allowing me to aspire to regain my former vitality.

To hold myself accountable, I plan to document my recovery process. This might help me avoid rushing my rehabilitation and encourage me to approach it with the kindness and compassion I advocate for others.

This may seem trivial to some, but it resonates with me. I want to share my struggles, highlight my gradual recovery, and inspire others to care for themselves and encourage them to help others do the same.

For now, this is all I can articulate, as the day has already worn me out. I’ll aim to check in again tomorrow. Sending hugs, love, light, peace, blessings, and abundant love.
