New Life 🌱
With Spring upon us we can often feel the sense of a fresh beginning and renewal.
While something new is beautiful and hopeful it can also involve so much more.
The experience of creating something new or starting afresh can be both invigorating and exhausting.
It almost doesn’t matter what that “new is.
Whether it’s a new job, a new mindset, a new baby, a new routine, a new home, a new relationship, a new year, a new school, a new hobby or even a new therapist.
While new can be exciting it can also require us to have patience.
The patience to allow ourselves to settle in and to take root.
To become accustomed of whatever our new is.
This means we allow ourselves the opportunity to firstly learn (observe) what we are experiencing and how we and our lives may have changed.
Secondly we allow ourselves the chance to adapt, not only to the new environment/lifestyle but also to the new us and what is required of us.
While we live in a busy (noisy) world we sometimes have to remind ourselves that adapting to the new often takes place quietly, in the unseen.
Just like the roots of a plant grow and flourish below the soil so do our own moments of growth happen.
Slowly.
But how pivotal these roots (our various growths) are…to be able to sustain that new thing we have started in our lives.
As you soak up the elements that come with this season of Spring allow yourself and any “new” in your life the chance to quietly emerge with no rush.
