My friend Charmaine, brilliant founder of SynergyDance, called me on my birthday to ask how I
was planning to spend the day. I said I had left the day open to see what I
felt like doing, let whim dictate, no plans until dinner with family. She said, “You’re having a moon
day”. A “moon day” from her
perspective is a day to tend to yourself, your feminine energy.
Charise’s turn:
I assumed that my “moon day” would be a passive sort of
experience, something like leisure time. What a misconception! It's more like putting yourself in a director's seat, making choices and seeing what plays out. As I quietly attuned to my
internal world, feelings stirred by
conversations with faraway friends and family came to the surface. I decided to hang out with these feelings, like
having a mad tea party with myself. All manner of distinct characters showed up to ask for a cup to pour whatever
they had brought to the table to share. A welcome hostess I was, until the
revelry of clinking cups and sloshing contents became more draining than
entertaining. Best let the party fizzle out, erase my urges to get stuff done and follow more inner cues such as improvising to music, soaking in a bath, journaling, and continue to erase my urges to get stuff done. Erase ____________ get stuff done. Erase __________________________.
Get Fired Up:
Set external demands aside for some portion of time in order
to tend to you.
_____________demand____________________________time__________to
tend to you.
