Pull through the "cocoon phase"

2011-03-28T04:00:00.000-07:00

I woke up this morning, feeling lifeless, lost and empty. Another day of work! With the little energy that I have, I drag myself out of bed, brush my teeth, take a quick shower, and jumped into my car. Only to find the roads swamped, traffic not making the morning any easier. As my car was slowly moving in traffic, I took a few moments to reexamine deeply, why I feel this way.

I questioned my very existence, purpose and the idea behind my creation. I found myself deeply feeling sorry for myself. I felt a profound need to retreat to the cocoon where I would hide my aspirations and dreams, because I am beginning to doubt my own capabilities. I looked around me, and realised that, as I am unconciously headed for the mental cocoon , life will not wait for me, time will not wait for me to stop feeling sorry for myself.

The cocoon, at this point seems like a very enticing and effortless place to run to, for protection against the harsh judgements and tribulations of this life. We go through such stages in our lives as women, but it is very important to remember to snap out of it and quickly catch up with the business of the day. this is because, everyday is an opportunity to make your life better, to improve your circumstances or those of others.

Everytime you feel like rushing to the cocoon to hide, strive to keep going and remain positive. Remember, you are a wonderful and essential creation. This world wouldn't have been the same without you.

Have a wonderful day.
