Have you ever noticed that life can change very quickly, putting you in a different direction, but you didn’t realize it or have any idea it was coming?
This is where I am right now, a liminal space, with 13 days all by myself in the beautiful Quebec mountains.
I only need to take care of myself, and it’s so nice to just focus on me!
I’ve been a lot of things to a lot of people and pets, and it’s been a lifetime of focusing on others and less on myself.
Over the past 12 years I’ve done a lot to correct the imbalance and I’ve had time to created a healthy self care practice, but to be completely free from all responsibilities AND ALONE is a whole other enlightening experience!
I’ve had time to nurture myself and contemplate the questions of…
🤍 What values are most important to me?
🤍 What feels purposeful in my life now?
🤍 What are my dreams and desires?
🤍 How do I want to spend my days in service to myself and others?
Even though I’m almost a week in my unexpected ‘me-cation’, I don’t have any answers yet.
I’m waiting for the clarity to show up, and I know it will.
It’s the time in the season to stay quiet and listen to the whispers of the soul.
It’s not time to take action just yet, that’s springtime. The best next steps are still formulating and incubating, and the ideal action to take is to tend to the ‘inner garden’, which is me or you!
I have been journaling, reflecting, hiking, meditating, and patiently waiting and enjoying the present moment wishing I had more time here... and today the manager gifted me an extra night’s stay, out of the blue!
So I take it I’m supposed to stay a little longer. 💝
Are you feeling this time in-between ‘what was’ and ‘what’s next’ in your life too?
If so, I invite you to carve out some ‘me-time’ to sit with the above questions and really consider them. Then go for a walk, or do something that nourishes you, and see what clarity shows up in the coming days and weeks.
