Hello warriors and to those in the Northern Hemisphere~~~ happy Spring or Vernal Equinox. 🪱🐛🌷🪺🪴 That happened yesterday ( although we had a mini 🥶 blizzard) when the daylight equals the nighttime, just like Fall or Autumn. You’ll see me down below with one of our many flowers blooming this time of year- 🌼 ~ daffodils. I took that pic last week. Guess what? Those purple tulips STILL have roots, stems, and leaves. I wonder when or if the buds will appear? They usually *** POP*** that first week of April so I will wait and see… 🤞🏻 Oh, when, taking this month’s “selfie”, my ear started ringing. How beautiful. 😊🥹
How is your year going so far during this seasonal change? You know what I did a few months back? I made a list of GOALS, not resolutions. When I open my notebook to journal quotes and such, I see them right on my loose page tucked in. Attainable goals that is and here are a few:
***Read more 📚 , (of course!) try new supplements that are safe and healthy, clean🪣🧽 with less chemicals, stretch my core more with new exercises, 💪🏻eat more fruits/veggies and less junk, ~ (SO HARD!!! ) 😲 see my Healer more, ( highly suggested) follow my intuition more, avoid drama when necessary, set more healthy boundaries, honor my emotions, release attachments to things out of my control, become more grateful for little things, honor change as it happens, manifesting our future home, being authentically “ME” despite critics, finding like- minded people, and a *** FEW*** others…
Yes, I wrote ALL that down as Warrior would approve. Do any of you do this or have you? I have mentioned goals before, but is it a yearly thing with me? Nope, as I sometimes neglect but always have right minded intentions. Some of those remain quite challenging for me as your list could be for you. Like I said last week, we must “do the work” however it is.
Despite all that, it is still a pause time for me. After Easter, the school year goes so incredibly fast as then we seem to be in hyperdrive. This is especially true with having a senior in high school… 😬🥹 *** It’s also WrestleMania season so happy 33rd, (great number!) to WMVII in a few days. How is 40 going to go? I finally looked up the card but most of course are consumed by the title once again this year. Will Hulk Hogan’s streak remain if Cody wins it finally from Roman? Yet another we shall see moment for sure🤔. The tag team match with The Rock returning will definitely make this year’s Mania 40 super exciting. *** Guess what ELSE my brother told me? SummerSlam this year will be at none other than our very OWN Cleveland Browns football stadium in August👏🏻😁🏈!! ! How incredible for this town! I am so happy! That capacity is around what it was at Skydome for WMVI but WWE is hoping for 70,000!! They were here in 1996 for S. S. but where our basketball team plays. If Ultimate Warrior hadn’t left, I bet he would’ve been there. *** PAUSE*** moment for me here…
We need to hit that pause button sometimes warriors, even when we don’t want to. It’s like pressing the snooze button when you want those extra 5 minutes of sleep in the morning. Do phones even have that feature? I wouldn’t know as I am probably in the minority with not keeping my phone by my bed or using it as an alarm. Nope, not for me in many ways. We have this go, go, go society but often times, we need to listen to our gut of when it is time to pause. We also don’t need to be in hyperdrive feeling the comfort for downtime. Just giving yourself a few minutes of YOU or ME time is all that’s needed. Being alone, or in a quiet frame of mind is healthy and so beneficial to us in many ways.
What do you do when needing to say pause for just a bit? I have my slowing down indoors for winter but even then it can’t be a constant busyness of crazy. This is the time that’s the calm before the storm in a way for me. Every year is a little different but so many “DOOZIES” all creeping up on their OWN just waiting to converge. In the midst of it all, instead of attacking it full force as many might think a warrior would, I will do what I can, when I can, and even *** PAUSE** through the moments. No rush, just staying present for each one and giving the right amount of me every time.
If it is any different, I will be “running” too fast like the Ultimate Warrior did and may feel like I missed it fully. I recall watching a backstage clip of Warrior interacting with Sgt. Slaughter during WMXXX weekend and how he mentioned something similar. Warrior wanted to remember peoples faces and interact with them more but being who he was in the business made that so difficult to do. He made a joke about Sarge’s face but I totally understood what he meant. I’m so grateful Warrior was able to hit pause, just somewhat on his life after wrestling without feeling the need to constantly be on the go. He wants that for all of us here *** NOW*** ya know? At least that is what I believe. How can us warriors not know that?
I sometimes wish I had that feature of a real pause button like on a remote we sometimes see played out in movies. It’s when so much is going on in a scene and then it pauses. Everything freezes and becomes silent for just a few seconds for that one character. You know what I’m talking about, right? That’s what we need to do only without all the effects. Even if you have to excuse yourself for a few moments, do it! Take that time to just settle despite the chaos. We can’t freeze time, but just find the calm in the storm. No storm ⛈️🌪️ lasts forever. Hit the *** PAUSE*** button when needed warriors. Your own self will say: ” thank you, I needed this…” 🙏🏻😌😵💫🫵🏻🤍
