To Be Leaping Into That Net

One year since my last reflection. Yikes. Here's to beginning again.

Collecting my thoughts to then share meaning with you is much needed. I have been somewhat desperate to sit in reflection yet not making the room. Unless we actively choose to follow through with what we want, time just passes. Hence why my inspiration today is around making change.

Oddly I have caught the narrative in my head to be wrapped in heavy negative worry. Consumed by not loving the wonderful world that surrounds me. It has been somewhat poopy to be thinking in a negative light. I have not been seeing the joy in my day to day. You know when you want to move your body but you feel somewhat frozen or grouchy to start? Over and over and you end up limiting your own self. This is not my jam. I have wondered where my light has lurked this past year.

It took a pause to capture that I still have it. I am missing out on the pauses and on the fresh energy of my friends and family. Itching for the sun and the moon.

Unless I make room for myself I will be dragged by the mundane parts of our days and picture life as such.

I do not need to limit myself to my own potential. Neither do you.

What do you want and don't in your world to make a more simple, successful, and meaningful life? Small or big, how do you take baby steps to get there? When do you choose to leap?

I want to dance again, experiment with a new fruity smoothy, and laugh until my belly hurts with my sister friends.

It can take 5 minutes to choose that song, plug in the blender, and call your pals. It can take 5 minutes to focus on your breath and realize that your brain is running 52 km/hour. It takes a lifetime to practice balance with hard work.

Making decisions for ourselves over and over again to align with our values to serve others, nurture ourselves, and grow our potential, is a beautiful thing. Honestly, it sucks at times too. Repeating decisions over and over with the risk of depleting areas of our lives can be exhausting. Hence why we can be it all, all the time.

I try it and I somehow rock it most of the time but it is not sustainable. Finding the limits as to how much we can do and when truly is a practice. I am practicing.

I have taken a leap into becoming my own boss full-time. I am pretty fun to work for so far.

This new direction, besides a level of uncertainty, feels so right. I am excited about what is ahead! To have more room to shape my life with more meaning and space to grow! No more limiting myself to my own potential. No more logging into a timesheet.

As a reminder, unless you are new to my fake soccer mom blogs, I write to you in hopes you can relate to me in some way. In order to feel more connected and not alone. Our lights can shine bright together when you see mine and I see yours glow.
