So far, 2022 has been a year that has required much of me.
One of my children has been dealing with some mental health issues.
My 18-year-old daughter moved out.
Packed for three weeks in all my spare time in preparation to move from my home of 12 years.
Leaving the place I had raised my children.
Getting moved and settling in as quickly as possible, setting up locks, alarms, utilities, change of address, etc.
A week later went on vacation to Disney World and got COVID halfway through.
My son came home after two months of being gone and we had to stay separate.
Kept my son home for a week until he was cleared for COVID.
Losing the convenience of living around the corner from my dear friend.
Changing my church family and community.
Running my business and...
Starting a new book for my online book club.
No wonder this is the flower that came up for me.
No wonder I've been laying around more than ever and binge watching Netflix.
No wonder I've been isolating and spending so much time alone.
It all makes sense now why Olive tested as the remedy for me, for now.
I'm in the what my coach, Simone Seoul, calls the "Resting Room."
Sometimes the Resting Room is exactly what we need, along with a little Olive.
Check out the profile for Olive:
Olive
(exhaustion following mental or physical effort)
For mental and physical exhaustion, sapped vitality with no reserve. This may come on as an illness or personal ordeal.
Olive is the remedy for tiredness and exhaustion after an effort of some kind, such as hard physical or mental labor, or the long struggle against illness.
The remedy is given to restore feelings of strength and the faith needed to continue.
Dr. Bach's description
Those who have suffered much mentally or physically and are so exhausted and weary that they feel they have no more strength to make any effort. Daily life is hard work for them, without pleasure.
