So, Now What?
What a year this has been..whew! We have all been on a bit of a rollercoaster ride and it is far from "over". What we viewed as normal is a thing of the past, however we emerge from this as a collective community is still in the mystery, but how we individually emerge is a choice. And we are ALL in different places in terms of being ready to emerge or choosing to remain cocooned for a bit longer. My invitation to you is to walk whichever path brings you into a state of grace. Walking with grace has been my daily prayer, and honoring the "in-between" space we seem to be finding ourselves in. But I am ready to re-emerge, in a different way than I normally do at this time of year, in the cycle of fertility that we are in.
Some of us created visions and goals in the beginning of the year and some of us didn't. I don't create mine in January, but I usually do know what I will be focusing my energy on by March. And then March came...and went. I knew I would be focusing on writing my book this spring and summer, but I had no idea I would not be teaching in studio at all. And I definitely had no idea that my inspiration would take a vacation as I, like everyone else, spent some time just floating in a sea of different emotions, lack of energy, and a focus on our most basic needs.
Now here we are in May, and I am starting to re-Vision, re-Imagine, and tend my seeds. I realize that everything I teach about time and the cycles of it really are true, we are timeless. There is NO reason especially this year to have visions and goals complete by December. It's not going to happen anyway, so let's remove the pressure of that. Hell after this we may still not know what our visions and goals even are, or they may still be to be with family and take care of our health and basic needs. And that is enough. But for me, I am treating this time of fertility almost as a New Year. I am starting to get excited, my inspiration is returning, and yet there are still days I don't have much, but when I do I am taking complete advantage of those moments and opportunities to write, create, and plan. And I am choosing not to dwell on the perceived "lost time". But making up for it by really choosing what is important and where to focus my time and energy, and leaving the rest. That may be one of the biggest gifts from this pandemic. Is realizing how much time is spent on unimportant things, realizing how much I tend to over-complicate things, and this has given me the opportunity to only spend my energy on things that light my fire or make an impact. I am also looking at how to do things differently in my life and business, mostly how I can continue to do less (since I got a taste of that...albeit a forced one..doing less is really what I asked for in the beginning of the year) and still bring my work out into the world in a way that is transformational and sustainable.
So, how are your feeling? Where are you? Are you ready to re-emerge, re-vision your life and business focus? Are you ready to do things differently? Turn things upside down, make choices that sustain you and light your fire at the same time? Are you ready to move from perhaps floating to taking some actions?
This is the time in the seasonal cycle where we balance the feminine and masculine energies, where we can be both fluid and take actions. Taking actions that move us towards our dreams and goals but with flow and fluidity.
I would love to support you in any way I can as you may be considering what is next for you in your life and your business. And I encourage you to reach out to me to discuss how I may be of service to you in this way. To schedule 30 minutes with me to discuss your dreams and visions:
