It’s summer. That time of the year when, in my experience, things get better. With some energy from the sun, daylight and power of letting go of the constant doing. Or maybe it’s just me.
I had some tougher months indeed after writing an entry about “How to be in peace after post-pandemic times.” It was something in-between work pressure, getting close to burnout and personal challenges. And above that or in the core of that – it was a lot of personal pressure I was putting on myself. I forgot how much I value peace, balance and alignment.
Then something changed. I saw my life like a constant run towards “the next thing”, aiming for achievement/ over achieving in the past, getting it all… and you know what? I just somehow decided let that go. At least for now, at least for a moment.
This moment has been… umm it is. It is here and now. I then came back to mindfulness, taking and appreciating the wonders of experiencing what already is and creating peace, space and joyful happiness within, and seeing it more around.
Call it a breakthrough, call it letting go, call it change of perspective, call it resting, call it enjoying… call it whatever. I am not sure if that has one-fit or needs names.
It is this moment of NOW and I will call it “listening to myself”. My heart, my soul, my flow. Fully.
What’s next?
NO. What’s now. Why and how? Question yourself. Learn from every experience. But if I look a little bit at the NOW and at the forward… something I still really need to learn is, letting go of control and being more open towards the flow of life. The current, the waves… like in the sea when I go for the swim and I trust the sea. I engage with it, we are one.
Trusting life more. I don’t think I fully do and it scares me. It makes me think I am not in control… but in that particular moment exactly… all the fear just comes and blocks me from any connection, solution or positive action I could make.
It is going to be fine. Trust life. Trust yourself. Trust the good. It is going to be fine.
You are going to be where you need to be, do what you want to do and feel what you feel. There is no right and wrong. There is life at its fullest.
You deserve that life, that happiness, that peace, that adventure, and that love.
And you are already there.
You are now.
Enjoy the summer with all it’s miracles!
Cheers,
Inese
