When things change…

Well, my old backpack died after 13 years of climbing mountains, going to swim with dolphins, and chasing rainbows in Hawaii. It’s the beige backpack. I’m thinking of all the people whom we’ve taken on Wide Awakening Adventures and program trips (including you!)

Honestly, letting it go was hard as I happily remembered being with Cathy in Bimini, Vikki in Italy, Nika in Asheville, Amy in Abaco, Jenny in Uxbridge, and so many more special moments. That backpack was a constant companion for all of it. When I threw it in the trash, I really felt I should have a ceremony, SO I DID!

It feels like everything is up to leave this year … clearing the decks with the Winter Solstice, Jeshua’s birthday coming, New Year celebrations, and all.

I invite you to start planning for how you’ll let go of the old, so you can bring in the new.

Don’t underestimate how powerful this time of year can be.

LOTS OF SPACIOUSNESS IS REQUIRED

I am taking 30 minutes every 2 hours, just to breathe and connect. Know that you are not alone.

Even our bags sometimes have to change! For you, maybe it’s your computer, your clothes, your career, or perhaps one of many other things that are due an upgrade. Just say Thank You! when it occurs.

It’s that time of year. Have grace and create space for yourself, while saying a gentle thank you for all that’s happening for you.

And lovingly celebrate everything that’s served its purpose and is now ready to leave!

With love,
Jennifer

“It’s a space that has it all – love, support, acceptance, connection, safety to be vulnerable and share our truest selves. If I’ve gone into survival mode, it’s a place for me to be reminded of my essence and get back into thriving. We get to be on this journey of expansion together, which is amazing for this recovering lone wolf.”

Should we only do things that ‘feel good’?

Should we only do things that ‘feel good’?

Should we only do things that ‘feel good’?

Well, you might be surprised to hear me say absolutely not.

Don’t get me wrong, it’s not about deliberately forcing ourselves to do things that feel awful.

It’s just that I hear so many people saying… “only do it if it feels good”.

Here’s the issue with that:

Fear does an interesting thing to our brains

Fear does an interesting thing to our brains

Fear does an interesting thing to our brains.

I was listening to a brilliant podcast a few days ago which my husband reminded me about. Although they didn’t talk about this specifically, it struck me how important it is to understand how our brains work. In understanding this, I’m able to follow my knowing and feel connected to clarity, instead of being manipulated by noise which can only happen if I’m in fear; it’s so easy to be in fear these days, don’t you think?

Fight or flight creates an interesting shift in the brain causing us to relate to those who disagree with our viewpoint as the “other”, and there are those who want to manipulate others in order to protect themselves.

The key to thriving is…

The key to thriving is…

A key to thriving is remembering that doing this is actually important.

It’s ‘nothing’.

That’s the thing, doing nothing is doing something.I’m sure you’ve sometimes tried to keep pushing through a project when life is showing you the harder and longer you push, the more unproductive things get, right?

I’m so guilty of feeling invincible or, put another way, stubbornly carrying on instead of being present to what life is showing, or sometimes commanding, me to do.
