Practical Help From Inner Wisdom

Shared by Natalie

A few weeks ago, after all the heavy rain we got in our area, I started digging an
80 ft. trench in our yard to direct stormwater away from our house. I had about
20 feet left to dig when my husband arrived at home and came out to help. As I
was digging, he began asking me numerous questions about things that were
unrelated to digging our trench. I cannot put into words just how physically
exhausted I was in that moment. I honestly thought I might pass out! So, with
the questioning, I began thinking to myself, “what nerve, I’ve dug 60 feet
of this very difficult trench and he’s home now to help, but these questions
are not helping!” Quickly, I realized that if I didn’t Pause, my husband’s life could be in danger.

Luckily for him, I Paused and asked Inner Wisdom for Help. As I Paused, I stayed
focused on digging the trench and handed my husband a shovel to begin helping.
In a few minutes, I literally burst into laughter (probably delirious from digging haha!)
and explained to my husband that I didn’t have any energy left to answer questions,
but would be happy to do so later and that we needed to stay focused on the task at
hand. He started laughing too and agreed. We finished the project before the forecasted rain that evening, phew!

We all have these moments where things can, and sometimes do, push us to our limits.
Thankfully, we can choose to Pause in the midst of these everyday experiences and ask
Inspiration Within to guide us to a practical and Helpful response, like laughter, at just the right moment!
