Nature continues to serve as my primary teacher. Always changing. Constantly adapting and evolving. She is the ultimate illustration of surrender and perseverance, no matter what. Recently, I have been energetically transitioning between my own internal seasons, and find myself experiencing the challenge with feeling and being grounded and/or centered. It is a busy time of year, and timetables, schedules, events, and calendars can often dictate my own energetic flow. Each outing or obligation becomes a stepping stone that influences my state of being. It feels like a constant river of busy, and the current hasn’t let up. Today was the fist day in several weeks where I didn’t have to be somewhere at a specific time. I embraced feelings of relief, gratitude, and expansiveness. I have space to be and reflect and take time to check-in with myself in a slow and intentional way.
I have come to the realization that the seasons and changes that happen in our physical environments also take place within. There are times where I find myself questioning my behaviors and wondering why I am “off-track” when in reality I am transitioning into another state or season of being. I have had to monitor my self talk and come to a place of nonjudgment and acceptance. I am gradually letting go and allowing my own internal seasons to organically unfold. There is a lot of peace around this practice, and always a lesson for more self love and compassion.
