Off line for 5 days

You heard me right! I'm am disconnecting off the grid, unplugged from social media and turning off all communications from the world for 5 days. Okay, I'm not turning my phone off and I'll only be 30 minutes from home. I need a break but in case of emergencies I'm not going to risk not being able to be found.

I've been meaning to take some "me time" and just escape from the world but I really didn't know how, where or even when. I've gotten some spiritual reinforcement that if I don't take the time to center myself and get back to being me I take a chance of losing everything that I care about. So, I am locking myself away from everyone to get the perspective on life I once had and love everything once again. Me, a sketch book, my running shoes, a book and some comfy clothes.

That's the funny thing about life and everything in it. If you don't care, love or appreciate it, it won't stick around. Think about it. If you don't take care of your car, it's going to break down and become completely useless to you....or worse, hurt you.

Though I come off happier and more positive than most people in the world, I still have a lot of growing to do. Also, I got so consumed in my own pity that I started neglecting my world around me. I need to get back to good.

I am the first one to promote love, yoga, prayer and meditation, but I haven't been practicing what I preach. Pretty typical of most people. I'm distracted with so much that I had NO idea what to do with myself. How sad is that?!

With some Godly guidance and answers my soul has been craving to hear it's time for me to socially detox my heart, brain and soul. I need to get back to The One that's answered my prayers so many times before and have faith my heart will be filled again.

Yes, I drained myself for the sake of others without be able to fill myself back up. I was not happy. Though I live a blessed life, I was dying inside. I feel better than a bit ago, but I know it's only alone time that will let me close this chapter of my life and move forward.

Come to think of it, I've never really had 5 days to myself. I've never had more than a day or so by myself with no distractions, whether work, friends, or hobbies. This will be a first. I'm not scared, I'm really excited. I'll really get to see what time feels like.

Wish me luck! I'll be back next week to tell you my findings.

Spiritually, Merry Ms Berry
