Conscious reentry

There was a great pause, perhaps an exhale we craved deeply but were so caught up in a stream of busy that we didn’t know it. 

Having slowed down, gotten quieter and perhaps more connected to ourselves and our own rhythm…

How do we hold on to what we learned in and maybe even liked about this past year? 

Most of us learned over our life to feel some tension between the authentic expression of our needs and the security of external love or validation. We might believe in a host of “shoulds” about who and how we need to be in the world to be received and successful. 

These conditions were suspended for many of us in quarantine, we were forced (allowed!) to break all sorts of social norms and conventions around engagement, time and routine. 

What if we didn’t need to stay loyal to these old conditions now that it’s up to our discretion? What if we could

move forward in the world from a place of trusting that the more connected we are to our truth and our needs—the more fulfilled, secure and truly loving/loved we become?

You have permission to inhabit the full power of remembering you have choices about how and where you spend your energy. Stop letting other people’s needs or reactions from the past determine how you organize your present or your future. 

Sit for a moment here and feel back into this last stretch of time…..

Let yourself inquire: 

What felt good and nourishing?

What did I learn about my priorities?

What did I learn about how I am best cared for to thrive?

Allow the time to make decisions about what, who and how you repopulate life. What would it be like to inform that process with these answers?
