And so November winds down…
If you celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday, I hope it was a lovely, easy gathering. And if not, and it devolved into something other than what you'd hoped for—complete with questionable "Table Manners"—may it be a reminder for what I sometimes call the "Holy Daze".
There's a quickening that happens in the last few weeks of a year, which can make it challenging to wind down, step back and see things clearly. We can fall into such a whirlwind of seeming "obligations" and "musts" that we lose sight of what really matters to us.
We can also fall prey to "believing" that things aren't going to progress, our choices are limited, and are options are few.
And yet, these are the very moments in which to shift our perspective, begin to consider other
possibilities, and perhaps even trust that something much richer awaits us.
When I find My Self fussed and bothered by what I assume will be the outcome of a certain situation, I call on the practice: I stop; I take a few centering, cleansing breaths and I say to My
Self:
"If not this, then something better."
It
immediately unloads the "charge", allows me to re / collect My Self, and shifts the energy to open up possibilities that I can't possibly conceive of in the moment.
Can you relate to this concept of "Something Better…" (2:42)?
