Not having enough time to do anything is bad enough, no matter what it is. When you have enough time but lack the energy….to me is one of the worst feelings in the world. Sure, you might convince yourself now that you need the self care time, and you most definitely deserve it! But when I convince myself that I don’t need to do something, I end up regretting it for far longer than it would have taken to actually do it.
Take witchcraft as a whole, for instance. I can argue that the Gods and Goddesses don’t require worship or dedication, that they can get along just fine, as they have for millennia. But a sensible me says that I require it. My soul requires love and care, and worship, dedication and rituals are some things that make me feel truly happy and loved, not to mention powerful. When I skip that special time, for whatever reason, whether it was valid or an excuse, eventually I regret it.
It’s easy enough to say “Make the time to do it.” or “Just do it robotically…” but it’s never enough for me. I’m not gonna load this blog up on my personal issues, but I will say that baby steps always have, and always will work. A little work slowly will benefit you in the long run than expending all your energy on a solitary lavish ritual that only happens once in your life. Light a candle, bless a stone…take several blankets outside and make a fort and watch the moon rise with steaming mugs of hot chocolate…. (that sounds really nice, actually..)
The hard part would be using this theory to the more mundane parts of my life……Wish me luck! ❤ maebyt
