The Space Between

I literally live in my head. I am an overthinker. I am a perfectionist. I have ADHD.

Getting things out of my head can be hard at times, because I also make assumptions that may or may not be based on anything but my overthinking.  LOL

After reading my most recent posts, someone asked me what my word for the year was.

I was perplexed because I thought I stated it, but I wasn’t explicit.

This comment made me think more about the space between my head and my heart.

We often hear, “Charge it to my head and not my heart.”

Add on ADHD, perfectionism, overthinking, and yeah – that space between my head and my heart can get blurry, confused, tongue-tied, or forgetful (thanks, Peri!).

Today I prayed for alignment (my 2023 word of the year) between my head and my heart, in accordance with God’s will.

Oh, btw, my word for the year is REIMAGINE.  I am purposefully reimagining how I can approach life without the weight of habits and traditions that no longer bring me joy, expectations (both perceived and self-appointed), and other limitations I have placed on myself because of perfectionism and overthinking.

Reimagining has forced me to slow down (ya’ll know I don’t do that well!) and reassess how I respond and react.  The internal dialogue is on 100, but so is my yoga practice, so I’m winning!
