What makes you overhungry?
Rhythm Life in TurkeyFor the first time ever she was not happy to see us. Sheβd already bargained for another night at the beach with her Aunt and we said yes. We dropped by to see her just the same, and she didnβt even want to go near us for fear weβd take her home!
The local beach culture here in Turkey is very different from the PH. The water is only warm in the summer, so beach towns get packed in June-July-August. Young and old (itβs normal to be past 70 in a bikini here, yay!) brave the midday sun complete with their beach gear: foldable chairs and tables, towels, mats and coolers. Often they live in the city and stay in their summer houses at the beach three months a year.
The summer house culture concentrates summer energy into three months. Maybe for seasoned locals, itβs just how life isβactivities change every season, and itβs actually a beautiful thing. Our daughter, on the other hand, has been beach-hungry since we moved to Turkey. Swimming was an everyday activity in the tropics, so she gets overeager or βgigilβ for any moment to swim.
On Blue Day, do a mental check of what youβre overeager for. What do you crave so much that youβll pack tons of it, maybe even hoard it? What can you do to release that hunger, to tune into what is, what changes, and flow with what comes, as it comes?
