Perfect Moment Monday: Down with the Sickness

By Karen Kleinwort ~ 2/28/2011

My Perfect Moment for this week …

…is difficult to pinpoint. One rises to the top so the one glowing the brightest while looking back over the week was the moment when I made the decision to take a not just one sick day but three last week.

Sickness can make you worry about finishing your work, but sometimes you have to let your body heal.Nobody enjoys being sick. I know I certainly don’t like the sniffles, headaches, moodiness, congestion, etc. But last week both my toddler and I were sick with a cold. His was bad enough to keep him home from preschool for three days. These three days meant that I also was being asked to balance work with family. But half way through his first day home I was blessed with his cold when the symptoms began. I think they’re finally beginning to subside.

The perfect moment was about not just prioritizing my own health and family over work but being able to honestly acknowledge how much I enjoyed the one-on-one time with my son. Was I stressed about not working and not meeting clients or associates? Absolutely! Did I have panic moments where I thought “OMG – I need to get back to this person ASAP!” Yes. But then I would take a few deep breaths, re-center myself and let go of the business owner responsibilities, trusting that all is in divine timing. I send my gratitude and best wishes to anyone who passed me over last week due to my lack of availability, for both of us are better served in the long run—resulting in the space being open to perfect clients, associates and individuals now having room to step in and step up to working with me.

Until next time, embrace your inner wisdom.

Namaste,
Karen

Each week I hold the intention to participate in Perfect Moment Monday, sponsored by Write Mind, Open Heart. According to Lavendar Luz, who runs WMOH, "Perfect Moment Monday is about noticing a perfect moment rather than creating one. Perfect Moments can be momentous or ordinary or somewhere in between."

Sounds like you handled the shift in priorities with grace. For me, it's not necessarily comfortable at the time things get all rearranged, but in hindsight I'm always glad for being pushed to spend more time with a loved one.
