Live life connected
What happens when you disconnect from internal chatter, connect into your body and feel the moment?
Stillness is a medicine that takes a moment of you witnessing and accepting yourself, it’s a prescription to pause…
I struggle with the definition of stillness being the absence of motion, as our natural state of being is not still or silent.
Stillness wasn’t a choice, but forced; determined and dictated by numbers calculated with biweekly blood tests.
In practicing stillness I need to be willing to show up, remove distractions, and find comfort even in the discomfort.
Finally,
I can stop.
I can simply BE.
How can we be still when our neural pathways have been wired to constantly be adapting, anticipating and surviving?
I was exhausted, overwhelmed and didn’t know what to do, so I sat.
