Sara’s View of Life with Sara Troy, on air from November 4th

Right here on SelfDiscoveryWisdom.com — well, it’s flu season, isn’t it? Everyone seems to have a cold, and yes, I’m just getting over one myself. My shows lately have been a bit on the “stuffed-up” side, but life goes on. You take what you need to take, and on we go with the show. That’s what life is about, getting on with it. Still, we have to remember the importance of rest: to recoup, review, and renew ourselves. Unfortunately, rest hasn’t been much of an option for me lately; there’s simply too much happening. I’ve had to push through, stealing little moments of pause where I can.

Sometimes we just need to say, “You know what? Postpone.” Give ourselves permission to nurture, to chicken-soup our souls back to health. Whether it’s physical, emotional, or spiritual, we need time to heal and regroup. Despite my best oregano defenses, I caught this cold from my adorable grandchildren — my little petri dishes who bring home every germ from daycare. Add to that a few sleepless nights helping with the arrival of the new baby, and well, my immune system waved a little white flag.

So here I am, balancing between pushing through and pulling back. I’m heading off for a few days soon to see family, friends, laughter, and no shows, a change that will serve as rest in its own way. Between shows, interviews, and upcoming public talks, I’m booked through November and already scheduling January. Finding balance becomes a dance: listening to when to rest, when to push, and when to simply breathe.

I’ve learned that life doesn’t stop for a cold or a throbbing toe. You do what you can, take what you need, and get on with it. Still, I’ve also learned to slow down — not to a full stop, because that’s harder to recover from, but enough to stay steady. Sometimes that means rearranging, rescheduling, and letting go of what isn’t urgent. It’s flu season; people get sick, shows get postponed, and that’s okay. We just adjust, lighten up, and keep flowing. Flow is life — whether it’s energy, breath, or purpose, and when it’s blocked, we feel it everywhere. So, I listen. I breathe. I heal. And I keep moving forward, maybe a little slower, but always with gratitude, resilience, and a hot toddy in hand.
