Releasing guilt to welcome in safety.

“You need to get back in your body”
“but..it doesn’t feel safe yet..”

I’ve been very tired this last week (April 7-13 2025). I think it was a combination of grieving the loss of my job, changing my habits/routines/mindsets, and catching up on lost rest from March stress.

Giving in to the rest my body was yelling for was one of the kindest things I could have done for myself right now. I now know there are multiple kinds of rest (seven) but physical rest was priority, so I could get to the other ones. I need to write down all of them with examples so I can see if I am getting adequate rest in all areas of my life. I love sleeping, but it’s one of the things I deprive myself of as soon as I am struggling financially. Like, to be specific.

That’s not fair of me, to deprive myself of something that I love and is a necessity for my health (and wellbeing). Talk about not sticking it to the Man (patriarchy + capitalism) and sabotaging myself. Not very gremlin or Hot Girl of me. So we are choosing rest + sleep over guilt from this day forward.

Questions to ask to remember your power and silence the guilt

Who says we “should be doing this/that” right now?
Who has control over us?
Who makes the choices about how we live our life?
Who is living our life? In our body? As us?
Why should others get the final say in how we live our life?

Let me know if you journal using these questions!
