Is it Time to Get Off the Grid

Sometimes, you just need to take some time out. Get off the grid. And just relax.

Sometimes, you need to think about nothing; nothing at all. Let the sights around you, and the sounds of nature or your favorite music, take the lead.

Close your eyes. Rest your eye lids. Clear your mind…and your calendar.

Why do we let life push us? Sometimes even push us over? We feel fragile….vulnerable…tired, as people keep making demands of us. And sometimes we require too much of ourselves?

So stop. You don’t have to keep allowing the bricks of life to keep piling on.

Stop. And do something different. Take the time to watch the epp and flow of the ocean waves; let them take you away, if not in person, then from your favorite app.

Stop. And breathe.

You need to know that you do not always have to be “on!”

It’s okay to not have all the answers. It’s okay to not get all the answers. It’s even okay to stop asking the questions in search for the answers.

Because at the end of the day, as we try to make sense of how we’re feeling, what we’re going through, who or what we’ve lost, there is nothing anyone can say to change the reality of what you’re feeling at this moment. 

Comfort? Perhaps.

Explanations? Probably No. 

There’s little that can be said that completely takes away the pain experienced during and immediately after your loss.

So it’s okay to take time out for yourself. Give yourself permission to give yourself some care.

It’s okay to grieve…in your way. In your time.

As long as you don’t stay away too long.

And remember to come back home.
