Climbing the Tower

Do you ever have those days you feel scattered, discombobulated and out of sorts? It seems like all my days lately have felt like that, and have been running into each other; creating a long line of days that turn into weeks of feeling, not quite right.

I find when this happens, almost 100% guaranteed, I’m not listening to my heart, but rather my head has taken it hostage. DAMN…..I hate when that happens. I don’t even realize it until it’s already been taken captive, and I need to rescue it from the tower.

Once my heart’s been captured, it takes self-care and being gentle with myself, as well as putting on my armor, gathering my swords, and mustering the courage from the harsh words of the should haves and would of’s, I tell myself. We certainly wouldn’t say those same words to our loved ones, yet it rolls off easily in our minds. Judgement and doubt can creep in, once you allow the chatter to take over. Letting our heart become captive is human, even though we are doing the best we can in the moment, but if we can learn to quiet our minds as soon as we hear the enemy approaching, we can claim victory for our soul.

So, how do I take back my heart, when it’s been captured by the enemy? I quiet my mind, meditate, say affirmations of love, practice self-care and pray. I get out of my head and invite love in. Then I climb the tower and reclaim what’s mine. But because we’re human, we allow the heart to become vulnerable to outside forces. It doesn’t matter how many times it’s taken prisoner, I’ll always rescue it. Because my heart knows me better than anyone else, and if I listen, it will provide exactly what I need. It’s my true north and always knows what’s best. So, listen up heart….I’m climbing the tower and coming for you.
