Birthday journaling in a camlin book!
For the first time in ages I truly aligned with the fact that birthdays ain’t about scattering energy outwards or just thinking who’ll wish me, who won’t? Guilty of this…
But this time, I didn’t want to celebrate my birthday in the same old manner! I realised birthday is the day we just emerged from our mother’s womb and entered the world externally. We need to just honour our body, internal, external, connect with the universe, and offer gratitude for who we are!
I did away with cake cutting because I feel it has absolutely no connection to birth; and just a ritual!! Again doesn’t generate any value or alignment of energy.
Instead I chose exercise and breath work to begin my day, prepared a grounding breakfast myself of oats khichdi, cleaned table, and just journaling on reviewing last few birthdays, where I was energetically then and where I am today. What’s changed, what’s not, and what would I like to see myself 5-10 years from here on!
My greatest anchor amidst all the balancing act of handling life, kids? My husband. Just out for a peaceful coffee without 2 kids for the first time in years literally.
Happy birthday to me, my being and presence that may continue to add value and joy to whoever is a part of it!
