Chicken Soup for My Soul
It is so important for me to take the time every so often to nurture my body. It is easy for me to push myself to get stuff done or push through my day. I don’t realize the stress on my body taking care of a one year old, two dogs and a household, my business and even trying to do good and fit a workout in can some days feel like the tipping of my delicate balance. Today I took the time to get a massage with Jody at Healthy Life Unlimited and it was so wonderful. I could feel during the massage, my body releasing and even the fog lifting from my brain. I felt in my body and in the present. What a gift!
After my massage, I committed to myself that for the rest of the day I would try to remain relaxed. I floated into the grocery store and casually shopped for yummy items to make a delicious chicken veggie soup. Came home and with loving intention and lots of serenity, created a nurturing lunch that made a leftovers dinner for my family. What a perfect day for honoring myself, giving myself the gift of serenity and the nurturing soul healing that comes from a delicious, nutritious bowl of chicken soup!

It is crazy how something like soup can be so symbolic of our life. All these ingredients, a lot of heat, time….put together make something wonderful! Of course, then again, raw chicken is not so great on its own and neither is raw heat. The perfect combination, though, gives us something that heals. Physically and emotionally.
Sounds like your day was very serene!

It was! Today I went to a yoga class and I think because I took better care of myself yesterday, today I feel like I have more energy to go do something fun with the tiniest monkey (Emma) today!
