Rest, Relax and Receive.
Rest, Relax and Receive
There are people who don’t believe in the principle of resting, relaxing and receiving.
I used to be one of those people.
Between age 13 and 43 I only had one gear, and that was top speed. Everything had to happen fast, so I could cram as much in the day as possible.
I had forgotten that I was a human being and turned into a human doing.
The only times that time stood still was when I sat down to breastfeed my babies.
Thankfully I had a lot of babies, six in all, and I loved the whole process of mothering, so I had a lot of breastfeeding-down-time between age 19 and 34, which probably prepared me for what was to come.
At age 43 I got hit by a truck.
My life came to a shocking standstill.
I had to completely let go of the reigns and surrender to the journey of recovering what was lost.
Everything relied on the principles of Rest, Relax so I could Receive Miracles.
I needed 3 big miracles.
The miracle of staying alive, and after that, regaining full use of my body.
The miracle of avoiding bankruptcy.
Pete had just quit his nursing career to join me fulltime in the clinic.
We had just taken out a second mortgage to buy and renovate the Purple House.
We had six children between age 12 and 24, who were in varying stages of dependency.
The miracle of my children being OK with or without a healthy fit mum.
At the time, I didn’t realize that REST, RELAX and RECEIVE is a principle for living.
For creating a wonderful, fulfilling life.
But I knew that if I resisted or struggled against this principle, I would die.
My principles had been RUSH, HUSTLE, WORK HARDER, OVERCOME the STRUGGLE, so I can ACHIEVE.
Admittedly, I had achieved a lot, but it had been done it by completely overextending myself.
RECEIVING wasn’t in my dictionary.
I am sure the Universe had been trying to tell me to slow down many times.
Have you heard of the saying: feather, brick, truck?
