Blog 1: Returning to the Natural Rhythm
Returning to the Natural Rhythm---
At first this concept was so scary to me, it kind of felt like, well how do I do that lol. Then I made space for little micro moments of return, inviting myself to breathe a little deeper, to feel those uncomfortable emotions through without labeling them or trying to suppress them.
To savor a sip of coffee, tea, or even water a little longer, to pause when I would normally respond and choose to just breathe instead. Not going to lie, it sounds simple, but it wasn’t always as simple as it sounded.
Micro Moments of Return
I had a lot of reflection to do and once I did the reflection, I saw the whole of my being. The spectrum of being in general and how my process doesn’t quite look like “everyone else’s”.
The things that worked for the majority weren’t helpful to me. This in itself didn’t make me feel like I was wrong or my way of being, opening, softening, exploring, was wrong--- just….. different and over time, I learned to love that different.
I learned to trust and flow in the rhythms that are natural to my Essence, my Body, my flow. I’m still learning; every day is a new adventure in learning, opening, playing, trusting. Trusting that I am always supported, the Universe is always here, that it always has my back.
Listening, Opening, Allowing
Learning through listening and being open to listening, deeply. Opening through vulnerability and realizing that there is nothing to hide from. I can be seen in all my fullness -- in the spectrum of Being, not just the polished and perfect flows.
I’m allowed to have “bad” days, days where I don’t want to get out of bed, where I want to watch TV all day or lounge around, dance, and listen to music. I’m allowed to rest, to cry, to feel, to enjoy the beauty of Life--of this experience of being alive and what that looks like and means to me and how it expresses through me.
Playing, smiling more in public, not having the frown of armor haha, listening deeper in random moments and exchanges with strangers, allowing myself to try new things, to be less nervous and concerned about “getting it right” and just doing it for the aliveness of it all!
A Gentle Return
So, this is it--this is the part of me returning to the natural rhythm. Beautifully enough, I get to know myself deeper by sharing and doing what I was once afraid to do.
As this incredible year nears its end, I realize that I’m not a little girl anymore. I’m not afraid to try new things, meet new people, share, smile, play. I welcome it on such a deep level now.
It’s beautiful. I’ve enjoyed getting to see myself through the Spiral of this year--the laughter, the tears, the almost giving up and still loving and encouraging myself anyway. There is so much year left and I’m so excited to see what it has in store for me, for my family, for my company, for Life in general!
