Bits and pieces, thoughts that I carry with me from my holiday.
While I was away, a few ideas kept circling in my mind. One of them was freedom, what is freedom, and how does it truly live inside me?
I realised I experienced a certain kind of freedom I hadn’t felt in a very long time. What surprised me was that I didn’t feel unfree before. But when I felt this new expansion of freedom, it struck me deeply.
So often, when we introduce ourselves, we lead with the work we do or the titles we hold. We become the “human doing.” In daily life, we wear our uniforms, carry our titles, and fit into boxes, roles we serve for the people around us.
During my holiday, I started letting go of those roles, slowly shedding the layers… even wrestling with releasing my “image.” And in doing so, I became free to be just Saara, and that was enough. Just Saara: the soul inside this human body, living the human experience.
Living as “just Saara” for a few weeks allowed me to truly be in the present moment, to connect authentically without purpose or role, just simply being.
It challenged me to live more through my body and less in my mind. That wasn’t always easy. Oh, how my old patterns and blueprints tried to creep back in. But that was the real practice: to keep following my heart and staying with the purity of the moment.
Welcoming this freedom into my life has only opened and expanded my heart even more. Now, I’m excited to explore how I can keep inviting that same freedom into my everyday life, even in the middle of the daily grind.
