As I wrap up my time in Alaska, I am surprised by the amount of anxiety showing up. Going back to Kansas means going back to adulting and getting ready for the next stage of life. Going back to Kansas makes it feel more real that changes are coming, whether I really feel ready. I have thoroughly enjoyed my alone time. I'm not sure it's been as restful and rejuvenating as I had hoped. I also unfortunately don't feel like I've gotten the clarity I was hoping for. Maybe I don't REALLY need more, just continue with the tidbits I already have, I don't know, but that's all I have to work with.
I am grateful for the time spent with family. I am grateful for the healing work I've done and to have an opportunity to slow down. I'm grateful for my husband for holding down everything in my absence.
I have been doing more self reflection these past few days, wondering what my capacity is. How much can I hold.
Similar to 'what am I not seeing?', but instead, what is my nervous system capable of holding? What is my body and soul's capacity for abundance, helping others, loving myself, moving forward? What holds me back? (Not who. That answer will always be myself.) Where might there be fears and worries? Where are my edges ? Where is there possibly some self-sabotage? Can I fully accept myself and all the things I see as flaws? Where am I still judging? Where can I soften to actually find strength? Where can I surrender? How do I fully trust in the unfolding?
