Begin again

I don’t know about you but, I do know for me that I fall out of doing things. For example my blogs. I was keeping up a pretty good schedule of sending them out every few weeks and then things in my life took over and I realize it has been a few months.

I was undergoing multiple life transitions in a short period of time. A death, a mentor being ill, renovating and selling a home I had lived in for almost 18 years, buying a new home, and moving to a new area. There was a lot to take in and process.

So, I could be hard on myself and beat myself up for not keeping up with everything or understand that life threw me some major curve balls all at the same time. My old way would be to be hard on myself. I am learning the value of being gentle and kind with myself. Treating myself like a good friend.

With that in mind I “begin again”. I acknowledge that I have and still am going through quite a lot and feeling and honoring those feelings is important and some times difficult work. It takes its toll. I need to rest more, I need to relax more, I need to rejuvenate more.

During this difficult period, I also ran my first, LIfe Transitions workshop. What a wonderful experience for the attendees and for me as well. An opportunity to be heard and listen to others life struggles and triumphs. Watch them experience epiphanies and shed life long beliefs.

I like the thought and practice of “begin again”. It can be used in so many ways. I begin again to lose weight. I begin again to prioritize myself and self care. I begin again to bring myself back into balance by exercising which helps quiet my mind chatter. I begin again to pursue my creative pursuits and the things that bring me joy.

When I take the opportunity to be gentle with myself and begin again, things in my life fall into place. Into a natural rhythm. It feels good to be here once again.
