Daily Gratitude: Sometimes we need to just slow down and see what’s around us. The saying I remember most from my Doula training and from Abode is “everything is important; nothing is urgent”. It’s kind of interesting that this would be the most memorable thing for an ER doctor (former ER doc Lol) where everything is urgent at least until proven otherwise. Perhaps it’s just the right time in my life for that to show up. I’ve also been forced to reconcile that life consists of the mundane as well as the “worthy”. Of course the “worth” is determined by that part (IFS) of me that wants to feel special and important and all knowing. Yes, that part that has gotten me into so much trouble all my life. So I have to step back and remind my parts that life is made up of contrast and without the mundane, i wouldn’t be able to do the “special”. Working with my parts has increased quite a bit since I’ve been doing different things and more meaningful things in the past few months (my daily call and my work as a death doula). This is the process. Uncovering and becoming aware of how all my parts are sitting around just waiting for their opportunity to pounce. This is the process and it’s good I’ve slowed that part down. Take some time and ask yourself what you’re concentrating on and concerned about. Do it now.
