Spring has sprung in New York!
I’m visiting for the first time in a long while and it’s so nice to be back. A lot of dear old friends to catch up with, a lot of yummy things to eat. This is a great chance to try out my new walking sandals too.
I’m also appreciating the changing of the seasons. There is something really magical about that collective feeling of reawakening that comes along with the days getting longer.
Is it so crazy to think that we as creatures are inevitably affected by the patterns of the natural world?
During the colder months it’s easy to fall into the trap of believing it will be that way forever. Whether it’s seasonal depression or something else, I get a lot of clients talking about how they have such low energy and motivation. Instead of beating ourselves up, maybe it’s ok for us to rest when our bodies need it. Maybe we can be less willful about forcing things to happen, knowing that Winter will pass.
Continuing my practice of surrender, I am sitting with what is present. Right now that includes:
Feeling inspired and a lot of new ideas swirling around my brain
A rush of energy and excitement to put ideas into action
So much delight
The sunlight hitting the cute little backyard of this cafe
It sure is easier to surrender to delight than discomfort. I know that this too will pass, but until then I’m savoring everything I can.
What are you sitting with this change of the seasons?
What are you allowing yourself to savor?
Take Care,
Naomi
