Moving past the threshold of Spring into the increasingly productive and fast paced part of our annual cycle, things are speeding up! All of the gestating related to projects and learning new growth patterns are now up-to-bat. It’s time to put what we have learned thus far to use in ourselves and our lives.
While stabilizing your balance point in this new energy pattern I invite you, to consider the following.
How does independence from outside expectation or “norms,” protect you? Or does it? What real life situations can you reflect on to notice the feeling, look, and sound of behaving independently, meaning you are motivated by your own inner authenticity; your core? Did you have experiences that helped your clarity about boundaries or truth, perhaps contrasts? Were there things you will handle differently in the future if the opportunity presents itself? Like what?
When you are in situations with folk who do not align with your values, goals, or insights, do you find it tricky, awkward, challenging? What kinds of responses have you found helpful when you know there is a misalignment but the relationship is an essential one; like a spouse, family member, employer or coworker?
We can establish a bond of trust in our circle, where we can explore together the edges of our comfort zones and feel safe. Our differences in age and stage of life add a depth and resilience to our sharing. Our abilities to exchange with one another, can be the launching pad for healthier and more intimate connections in the expanded circles of our life.
I want to thank all of you for being willing to be present and participate openly in this way. We are all doing our best to be the love, we most value in the world.
