Full Moon Aftermath
Hello dears,
I don't know if you are following the moon cycles or not, but this Full Moon was very intense for us.
This Thursday things went wrong for Robert, our B route driver. His phone would simply not charge, and everything is on that phone app... So, he had no choice, but come back. He is back on the road today to finish all the deliveries he couldn't finish yesterday. We are sorry for the inconvenience, some of you were staying all day yesterday to receive your food, and some of you are not available today to receive it. How unfortunate it is to leave you without super nutritious food!
The struggles of this world. Everything has a reason, and we are grateful for the struggles as well.
A chance to correct and make ourselves better.
Being in the moment, positive thinking, abundant thinking.
How are we handling the stress. Noticing where the stress shows in the body.
Yesterday I spoke to my friend that also grew up in Soviet time. She mentioned that she performs the best during stressful events. I always felt my best, very alive during stressful events, and it makes me think much faster and more clear. I guess we are this super breed of people :) There is a price to pay later. Post fight or flight always shows up later and I have to recover. It's very important to pay attention to yourself, body, mind and spirit. I joked that if I don't have problems, I naturally look for them, and I always find what I'm looking for . Maybe I'm that dopamine junkie? Yeah, years of deep self inner exploration - and here we are... Fasting and a physical activity is the best treatment for me. Complaining and hiding is the worst. Luckily, it's easy to rebound quick.
It's crucial to stay calm - natural to some, but can be learnt.
Being flexible - utilizing all the tools available.
Step by step actions.
Seeing the whole picture. Always know what you want. Have goals set.
Trusting - you must know yourself and trust your ability to judge the situation.
Have a support system - a friend that you can talk to.
Simplicity - Don't waste your energy on cooking a gourmet meal. That is why having all of the staples of clean and nutritious ingredients is a must. Protein is important. Fasting is even better.
Your clothes - simple. Your creativity will have to wait. Something comfortable, something that will make you feel sharp as well - you decide what that is, but always have it ready.
Always post self-care. We have Shabbat for that. A life saver really. Knowing that Friday night comes and all of the business related problems will have to be put on hold for 25 hours. Time to relax, learn, dive into knowledge of our ancestors. Being grateful. Being with the family and community. If Shabbat is not your thing, pick a day, but disconnect from outside world, and go in completely. Sleep, eat anything you want, meditate, use incense, light candles, surround yourself with awesome books, turn off your phone and computer. Being one with nature. Give thanks.
I'm wishing you a peaceful Shabbat and/or your personal day of reflecting. Have a wonderful weekend.
