Bast Says relax into it. You know you have to eat. You have to sleep. When those are taken care of you bath and take time to think. Choices. Play? Nap? Plan the next hunt? So easy. Take opportunities when they come up. Step up. Get it done.
That's pretty good advice. People have to do a little more thinking. Play? Nap? Plan? Planning. There's much more for humans to plan. There are so many choices. Which ones do I need to plan for first? Do I have to do those simultaneously? I'm getting carried away. Wait.
First - take care of your own needs and any obligations you have promised to others. Your word is important to keep.
Next - take time to play. This is like putting money for yourself from your paycheck into a savings account first before you spend it on other things. Make time for something social and fun.
Then - those looming choices. Taking opportunities when they arise is great advice. Sometimes we have to start making opportunities. I take opportunities to work at expositions as often as possible. I took the opportunity to teach classes with the local community education program but only one student signed up. The classes were canceled. Time to step up a bit more. Look for other places to contact where one could hold gatherings or classes. So many other things also need to be addressed whether you are trying to start new endeavors in your life or just live your best life.
What am I actually doing? I am concentrating on taking care of me and doing my caregiver work as a way to avoid doing the work I truly want to do. This is not what Bast means when she advises us to step up. Certainly take care of yourself and perform your obligations as necessary. But keep your eye on the hunt always. How can you pounce on prey if you aren't concentrating and haven't planned ahead.
