Claiming My Power

qosI'm feeling much better.
It was brought to my attention that I was giving up all my power: to the movers, to my friends, to my allies, even to my beloved, looking to others for energy and courage and everything else I need today.
This is my move. The movers are working for me. I am in charge. I don't have to feel rushed or pressured.
There is no hard deadline of time. If I end up driving back and forth between the two places a couple of times today in order to get all the odds and ends taken care of, so be it.
I took Excedrin.
I got dressed, slowly, not letting myself be distracted by other tasks.
One step at a time.
I started washing dishes.
And with my hands deep in the warm, sudsy, dirty water, I rediscovered my power.

Water. Yeah. Hadn't told you about that one, but you found it for yourself. Good!

I was mentioning it somewhat ironically, since I don't usually connect power with hand-washing dishes.

Yes, I think the water was part of the awareness shift. Warm or hot water can be very grounding and balancing, just as cold water is amazingly effective at cleansing one's energy. The effect varies from person to person. I find dishwashing quite grounding, and also hot baths. We can talk more about possibilities for both of those, BTW. Isis is the queen of the magical bath. *g*
