~ Transitions in life, Journeys home or outward change Time to breathe and pause ~
I flew back from Scotland last week and have settled into life here in the US once more. It wasn’t an easy transition for my body, and I became impatient with the jet lag, and annoyed with the need to keep eating to stay awake!
It made me consider the other transitions and changes that take place in life. Some are small and others are life changing. Some we choose and work towards, others come out of the blue and it can feel like the rug has been pulled out from underneath our feet.
Yet, no matter whether we choose to change, or change happens by itself, there is a period of feeling off center and in between one place and the other – neither there nor here.
This is a time to slow down and pause.
Rather than wishing ourselves ahead of where we are, his is a time to breathe and recognize what is happening. This place of “no mans land” is naturally uncomfortable. Our mind wants something different and we may become frustrated or anxious.
A few deep and full breaths can soothe the body and calm the mind.
Remember, everything happens in the present. From a place of presence and acceptance, the future will unfold in its own way.
The world will continue to turn. The sun will continue to rise and fall, and the birds will bring in the dawn.
Everything changes Accept it all and give thanks Find your Middle Ground
Namaste
