I&#8217;ve drained my energy down over the last few months and found myself literally empty, I scared myself because I could no longer find the strength to move forward even in everyday life and I couldn&#8217;t see straight.<br>So I decided to take two weeks to settle down, take a break, create some space &#8211; in my case, it was a work &#8220;leave&#8221;, so no productivity in that area during that time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This leaves me with empty moments, where I try to refocus, to reconnect, to converge within myself. And it&#8217;s not easy when you think about it: I&#8217;m an urbanite, so finding a moment of real silence I realize is pretty much impossible, between traffic noise, construction work of all kinds, neighbors, deliverymen, etc\u2026 silence isn&#8217;t really part of our daily lives anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I&#8217;m not going on a silent retreat, but I try to spare myself a few moments of real silence. The kind where you can hear your breathing and sometimes your heart, and where you empty yourself of thoughts but where sometimes everything speeds up in your mind.<br>I take this moment of silence consciously, and I often write down ideas and thoughts afterwards. Today&#8217;s is about soul food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We&#8217;re trying to eat better our nourishing foods, we&#8217;re getting into vegetarianism, km0 products, ecology etc\u2026 and we often continue to feed on trivia on social networks, sensational media, stupid programs, and sometimes neutral entertainment\u2026 so this second week I&#8217;m going to try a little reset program that I&#8217;m testing so much on the impact on my anima, my time, on my sleep: for 7 days<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Don&#8217;t look at IG (good for me, I&#8217;m not on tik tok)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Don&#8217;t read the news<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stay in complete silence for 10 minutes a day<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reading (I have a personal development book and a fiction book)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Daily meditation of the SA TA NA MA mantra ( 11 min version Kirtan Kriya)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Walk at least 20 min every day<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And at the end of the week, I&#8217;ll ask myself: What nourishes me internally? In contact with what, with whom do I feel more alive, energetic\u2026? Find out what makes sense and, above all, regain some power over the choice of my inner nourishment\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The conclusions will come the following week\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>The Blondie<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m starting to write this post in a recovery phase.
