Sea Turtle Momentum

nakihlôt (Sunset) - March 8, 2025 by JT

I took a long needed break last night from running around. I’ve been doing quite a bit of driving across the state in the last month. Well, really, the last three months. Tuesday into Wednesday this week, I drove roughly 273 miles. The road has become a place of doing some thinking. Not just the current destination on the GPS, but beyond. The drives have helped me process events that have occurred over the last four months.

I have nights where I won’t get back until very late. I was proud when I rolled back to my current place last night well before dinner. I had considered going back out but knew I was exhausted. I considered how I needed to show up for myself in that moment. To acknowledge the need for rest. To acknowledge how much of my time has been just pushing to get to the next thing. I have been reminded to enjoy some of the moments, to “sea turtle” or take things slow.

As a person that has been in a constant state of stress, taking things slow has not been easy. I acknowledge that I lack patience some times. But I also have realized that I cannot force situations to happen that are not in my direct control. I can control what I eat for breakfast, how I decide to spend my day (mostly). I can’t control what other people think of me, what the weather is, or the price of eggs.

My vision for this multi-purpose complimentary/alternative holistic health care system is still strong. I am seeking new board members that would be willing to dig into the soil, plant the seeds, raise the seedlings, and see the seedlings into full maturity. Its a lofty goal. We have to start somewhere. Interested? Reach out to me via social media (Facebook or LinkedIn - just search for Nourise Healing).
