There’s going to the beach and there’s diving into the ocean... Yesterday I took some time to be with myself and listen to the messages my soul + spirit have for me. I reflected on how many times I’ve been to the beach this past year without immersing my full body into the water. The phrase, “the way a person does one thing is the way they do everything” came into my awareness and I started to ask myself where else I may be ‘staying on the shoreline’ instead of diving all the way in. It’s so easy to normalize playing small, staying comfortable, sticking to what we know, curating an image that ‘looks good’... the thing is, my inner child LOVES the way swimming in the ocean FEELS, literally and proverbially. There’s a thrill, a challenge, a satisfaction that comes from joining with something bigger than yourself and trusting you’ll be alright if you dive in. Whether it’s hiking to a new plateau instead of turning back down the mountain, swapping memes and internet articles for books, starting a new class that makes us feel like a beginner again, or challenging ourselves to give our best to an important relationship or project by showing all the way up... the dive is worth it. Side-effects may include an increased sense of aliveness, a reconnection with your child-essence, a cultivation of inner-strength, more joy ✨ Where are you ready to dive in deeper?🪶 Happy Saturday y’all 🌊💛
