Can you believe it? We are only a few days away from the Spring Equinox, arriving March 20th, along with the next CBQ session! Nature is perking up all around us. Do you feel it too?
Speaking of perking up and feeling it…
Today is my 50th Birthday, and I am so freaking blessed and buzzing with excitement!!!
Grateful for the lessons I’ve been gifted and the path that unfolds as I grow with the flow of life into this next decade. This deepening connection to the version of myself that wants to emerge is so powerful.
Damn, I can feel the potent energy all through my body as I tune into the wisdom from my experience thus far. Here are a few (of the many) lessons that stood out for me through my personal growth:
- Ruminating on the past imprisons the future
- Overthinking is a massive energy drain
- Being present takes practice
- Lifes challenges represent unchecked patterns and opportunities to uplevel and heal
- Distractions are opportunities to deepen self-trust and self-honesty
- Asking for needs to be met is the ultimate expression of SELF LOVE
- Pain and suffering are mutually exclusive, and choice is always available
- Expressing vulnerability is the polar opposite of weakness
- Embodiment not motivation for sustainable transformation
- Leading with compassion and curiosity creates an endless possibility
I doubt these are novel ideas, yet for me, they represent LESSONS LIVED. Hearing and cognitively “knowing” something at the level of the mind is NOwhere near the potency of a LIVED experience and feeling/integrating it at the level of the body (somatically).
Truly embodying and integrating these lived lessons or experiences into how I show up daily is where I understand what it feels like to be EMBODIED and capable of SELF-LOVE.
Sure, when I’m less than fully resourced, I can find myself escaping or using coping strategies and conditioned responses that, in the past, have kept me stuck in cycles of reactions to my environment. These episodes are short-lived and also provide fuel for deeper understanding.
Cultivating energetic awareness through tuning into how I feel in my emotional body allows for intuitive insight to guide me into alignment with the most authentic version of myself and brings me back into coherence and perhaps feeling the pain yet choosing not to suffer.
RESULTS are being in flow with life.
