The Experience
Dear CivSource Team,
I am still perplexed at how little I knew about myself and how poor I was at managing my entire ecosystem. For the first time in my life I woke up after the retreat and checked in with my body to assess how I was feeling. I never did that and didn’t know how to do it. For many years I had a fixed routine, of simply waking up (whether up to it or not), pray and hit the ground running. Running, doing, doing, doing, without pausing to check in with my whole self and deeply reflecting on why some aspects of my life were falling apart. I was so poor at diagnosing myself.
For many years I had a fixed routine, of simply waking up (whether up to it or not), pray and hit the ground running.
Now I know better. I am excited about keeping my inner self, my environment and my performance in sync. I am learning to love and appreciate myself, to love life, to treasure nature, to face my pains, demons and shortcomings differently, to cherish people, friendships, family and work in a new way. I am truly and forever grateful for this awareness and also excited about the new me.
Thanks for inviting me.
Regards,
Delphine Mugisha
