Scripture: “Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts.” Psalm 139:23 Tip: Pay attention to where your mental and emotional energy is going. Sometimes we create stress for ourselves by worrying about things we cannot know or control. Reminder: Self care sometimes means recognizing when our own thoughts are draining us and choosing not to keep feeding them. Recently, I came to a realization that was difficult for me to admit. I was sabotaging my own self care, and I did not even realize I was doing it. Every day I write these Mighty Caregivers Circle stories and share my thoughts and tips about caring for others while also caring for ourselves. Yet I discovered that while I was encouraging other caregivers to protect their well being, I was not doing a very good job of protecting my own. I had thoughts running through my head about how other people felt about me. I was wondering what people thought, replaying situations, questioning interactions, and creating conversations in my mind. My thoughts were racing, and all of that thinking was creating adversity within me. The strange thing is that I thought I was spending my energy in the right place. I thought I was trying to understand what was happening. Instead, I was using a tremendous amount of mental and emotional energy worrying about things I did not actually know. I think this can happen to caregivers more easily than we realize. We spend so much time paying attention to other people. We notice their expressions, words, needs, moods, and reactions. That awareness can be an important part of caring, but sometimes we can take it too far. We start trying to figure out what everyone is thinking. We replay conversations long after they have ended. We imagine what someone might be thinking about us and then react emotionally to something that may never have been true in the first place. That is what I was doing. I was creating my own drama. It was not necessarily drama happening around me. It was happening inside me because I kept feeding it with my thoughts. I was spending energy on assumptions about what other people might be thinking instead of recognizing what those thoughts were doing to me.

Frequency speaks… it’s the universal language we all can interpret if we tune-in. It is that presence we notice. It is the shift in the dynamic when someone enters the chat or the room. We can carry a presence of peace, love and harmony when we learn to cultivate and attune our own energy emission. Notice: What signals are you sending? What signals are you receiving? Much love, Dana✨🤍🌹🖤 ✨
