(NOT a photo of me! But I have a story to share about rock climbing!) In my late 20’s I felt stuck: stuck in a job I didn’t love without an obvious path upwards and my educational degrees were in psychology, theology, and sociology(almost too broad and applicable for a career path). I wanted a ♥️relationship where I felt cherished with someone who matched my willingness to live full out. It was right around the “dot com” boom and bust. In my meditation and reflection the phrase “I want to reach new heights “ kept coming up for me. So I remember on my birthday weekend asking a friend to take me indoor rock climbing(we had to drive out to Schaumburg to do this, that was the closest place!) Somehow I knew in my bones, literally, that I needed to feel the climb upwards in order to get unstuck: the feeling of fear on the way up and the willingness to commit to the climb, the feeling of being off the ground and out of my safety zone, the reliance on others to coach me because they could see the possible routes from their vantage point, to feel the physical strength of gripping and leveraging myself up using my core/inner strength, to feel trust in my being to move upward and not just be a spectator in life. I didn’t know the word the way I do now, but that’s what I was seeking at the time to help me move onwards and upward. To take the risk of leaving a corporate job and to reach new and unknown heights. To leave the safety of a relationship with too many limitations for the risk of being alone but being ALIVE!! A lot happened the next few years and obviously my life has taken a very unique path. Every time I feel stuck I remember that feeling and sometimes I do a climb 🧗♂️ to remind me of the inner and outer strength living requires.
So I invite you to Activate Your Vision with me and either LIVE in our Zoom Room Jan 25 11-2 CST and/or get the link to watch and participate at your convenience. We will share our embodied practices to activate living with a vision, moving with great impact, engaging with life like everyday is an interactive adventure rather than going through the motions and waiting for the weekend.
Linktree in bio.
