AWAKENING~Getting Out of Your Own Way
“I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and, if your truly like the company you keep in the empty moment” -- THE INVITATION
by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
With January endings and the old year now fading away, how is this new year jumping in with all its new promise?
Did you do a sorting of the last year and make new resolutions for a better and more exciting new year? Perhaps not.
Not really for me, and probably for others as well, and I shall continue to lumber on just being me.
Doing much of the same - some good and some bad, but glad I have the chance to do it. There is always today. And today.
Each day awakening with a hope, a wish and a new dream…
That moment of choice:
Getting un-stuck from the old thoughts, perspectives, behaviors, patterns, habits….Be ready and willing to surrender to and embrace a new future. Something new, anything different. I DON’T KNOW BUT YOU DO!
Or,
That moment of no-choice:
Avoiding yourself and your inner whispers is Self Sabotage, denying and shaming, defending and justifying with what we think we believe about ourselves that is so.
It is VITAL, that each of us make the time to Commit-to-Self.
There is nothing and no one first and foremost worthy or deserving of taking care of, caring for, nurturing and cheering on.
No more of this trying to FIND THE TIME.
Have you ever found it before? It’s not going to wave a flag and say:
“Here I am, the TIME you’ve been looking for.”
It’s not showing up on your desktop, or your planner, your phone or tablet. It’s illusive…every minute, each and every hour, each and every day----each and every week, each and every month, and each and every year.
When exactly will be the TIME to Hear & Trust your inner whispers? To listen. To take action.
The SEASONS create the “wheel of the year’’. WINTER is December, January and now February, leaving us a bit of ‘time’ remaining for us to pause, rest and quietly contemplate for the Season of Spring.
February 1st is a time to reflect, around the fire, on your hopes for the coming year.
What do you hope to accomplish?
What are you passionate about?
What seeds do you wish to plant?
WELL LET IT BEGIN. Get out of your own way.
‘’Level up” is the buzz word across the globe these days, and I’m eager to Be & Do just that!
Let’s take action, prioritize, follow through.
Balance in our lives.
Releasing limiting illusions.
Becoming okay, content or satisfied with right now. Not later. Now.
Let’s put on our grown up boots and embark on a new path…the path that as the rhythms of the seasons shift, and winter dreaming may be releasing long nights of snoring….we can choose to release it in peace.
Meanwhile as spring begins to plant new seeds, we can instead look forward so not to trip or miss a four leaf clover in our path.
And as insignificant as we may feel when looking at the vast universe, remember we were made US for a reason and we belong. We all fit together for some reason.
To unearth, dig and mine that deeper something we may have once yearned to find: our calm, our clarity, and the ability to ebb and flow within the rhythm of our life. Sarah Ban Breathnach
