Is it just me, or have the past few weeks just been seemingly lack-luster?! Like it's missing all of it's Sparkle... I don't know, its been kinda, Beige ...Even Christmas didn't hold its same Joy...I get it; it all things, there are cycles; and Winter is a symbolic death; meant to prepare us for the rebirth of Spring...but this is ridiculous! I literally Felt it this time. It was like my energy automatically shifted and fell in line. This, of course, should have been my first indication to chill, but Nope. Let me just tell you, I was NOT ready! Smack-dab in the middle of my busiest season, my productivity needed to be at an all time high...The most menial of tasks were seemingly arduous...Instead of falling into my natural rhythm, I pressed on; harder ...the burst of much-needed energy never arrived. In those moments, I failed to realize that it was never supposed to... Everything felt against the grain except...
It's official...I'm in my Soft Era...and not for any of these silly reasons you see flooding the internet right now...outside of the keeping to yourself and minding your business; not becoming emotionally invested in the things that are happening outside of you. Now that's a sentiment I can get behind in Any era! I just came to the realization that there are no hard edges in Peace. It's calm, tranquil, and smooth; silky to the touch...That's exactly the feeling I'm going for... I have moments of pure bliss throughout the day, so I began to observe these moments to myself, "How can I make this feeling last? How do I make this my preferred state of being?" As opposed to allowing anxiety to kick in, sending my over analytical mind into overdrive, I instead looked to my inner child. At what points throughout the day was she most stimulated and engaged? Now that answer was very simple: "When I am learning and creating." Yes!...
