What I’ve been thinking about
Is I need to take time out for myself
To catch up on rest and make sure I manage my time
Fatigue drains you out to dry
When I’ve had to much going on
My brain – my body – just shut down
This is why I have to make sure to manage my time
To take time out for myself to catch up on rest
What helps me choose me – to choose to rest?
Knowing that I get to set my limits
Saying NO – because no IS an option
And being about my needs
I know that my rest makes the difference for my everything:
My attitude
My body
My mind
My energy
My relationships
My physical stamina
My health & well being
My mood
My social connections
These for me are the most important factors in my life
because they make sure I don’t go into the disarray
And I get taken down by the things that are heavy
They help me with my decision-making,
My presence and my balance
The open eye reminds me to guide myself
Artist Statement
I have a lot of things going on in my life right now. It’s VERY stressful. I pretty much just like to sleep the stress away AND at the same time I try to keep my mind open and not let the doubts get the best of me.
When I’ve had too much going on
My brain, my body, my mind, my energy
Just SHUTDOWN
The Open Eye reminds me to guide myself
So I remind myself to take a moment to relax. To visually see what’s going on I visualize the stress points in my mind – see it all outside myself. This way I can pick my battles and NOT stress over them.
Its about getting one task completed. Sometimes it takes me longer to get there so it’s important that I not rush through it. I need to be okay to take my time. This Vibe reminds me to rest and choose myself.
