Very thought provoking! I am glad you are feeling like it is finally time to release this work. Do you have any idea why the timing might right now as opposed to before? These concepts apply to many ways we use our energy, beyond athletics. This weekend as I tried to check off my lists, I was pondering your words and wondering, “how can I invite the Spirit into this productivity mode so that it doesn’t feel like I am pushing my body toward exhaustion?” Honestly I was hoping for a spiritual infusion of energy, but I think I just needed a nap! Anyway, let’s take another walk soon!
Well they all go together. You will find that as you go through this opening to spirit, that you will need a lot of water and sleep. You captured it perfectly with your phrase," “how can I invite the Spirit into this productivity mode so that it doesn’t feel like I am pushing my body toward exhaustion?” Once your body and mind catch up to all they have struggled under, this anti-spiritual expenditure of unnecessary stress and effort (i.e. "pushing"), then you are pulled by spirit, but not until after you realize what a burden you have placed yourself under, and then your body simply realizes full force the DENSITY of typical earth life. You feel relief to be released of the need for compromise, even of the need to do things you know aren't quite right, but at the same time you get the feeling of all the weight you HAD been shouldering and this makes you very tired! It's good, even great, but it can be a lot. Grace is the only way forward. That, and a lot of sleep and water. Yes, let's do that walk. Text me when you have some time open.
