NEEDS

We have been on a tour this last week, to see family and friends of my twin flame in the UK.

For us both, it was intense, meeting so many people with so many different energies in so many locations in Warwickshire, Cumbria and Yorkshire. We learned a lot of things, talking together on the events and how we experienced them. I scribbled a lot of thoughtlines and insights on paper, to review and write about later.

One of the main lessons for me, from these traveling days was that ' looking after my own needs' is far easier when I am on my own, then in company. It's not really a surprise to me, of course, it just got illustrated again.  Being around other people means having to take their needs into account as well.
Key word here is ' as well' and keeping that in mind......avoiding the pitfall of dismissing my own needs.

I just know that I feel most happy when I can wonder of on my own for a period of time and reflect within myself. And I know that I don't start my day in the best way if I don't breath fresh air, see and feel the weather and enjoy some of the beauty of nature. Skipping' me-time' and being indoors or in cars most of the time, is not serving my energy household.

And who is in charge of expressing these needs and taking care of getting them fullfilled....... Indeed, I am myself.
If I don't feel that my needs are important... send = receive.......then my needs get dismissed! My energy flows away and my happiness and confidence follow within hours.

Since I enjoy being happy far more then feeling drained.... I got strong reminders of what to do.....also among others: be aware of my self, express my needs.

We'll be taveling back to France, in the next couple of days. We'll have lots of oppertunity to practise doing this, travelling in an old motorhome!
