This morning I was encouraged to reframe the year, to look at what I have made happen in 2016 that I am proud of, what good aspects of the year I want to celebrate. This is great cos it's so tempting to fall prey to the powerlessness that is prevelant at the moment, to 'blame' 2016.
It took a bit of effort but I found my 5 things :)
Also this week I responded to the ace question "How will you do the work of love today?"
I'm aware tho that what I mostly need right now is more self care and places to receive care, so of course that love can be directed inwards :) And interestingly I wanted to adapt the question to change the word 'work' to 'play', cos I'm feeling a bit overworked and so rather than add to my work, I want to up the play :) Substituting the word play tho doesn't quite cut it cos it then sounds a bit like pretense to me, but hopefully you know what I'm aiming at, the lightness rather than burden.
And so, how will I do the play of love today? Seriously what comes to mind is that I'm going to play hide and seek with myself, so I guess I'll run with that image. My joyous self has been a bit hidden of late, so I'll see if I can tempt her out with a game :)
Both these questions have been helpful to me today, so if they are any use to you, do consider for yourself what you made happen this year that you're proud of, and how you will do the work of love :)
