I’m sure all of us have some thoughts and feelings with everything that’s happened and/or everything that’s coming up.
.
For me, I’m eager for what 2022 holds, and wanting to leave 2021 better than I found it. And, I found it actually in a pretty swell spot, so it’s proving a bit of a challenge for me because I feel as though I’m not comparing apples to apples here.
.
At the start of 2021, literally every area of my life was very stable. Stable home. Stable business. Stable friendships. Stable service. Stable.
.
As we come to a close, I’m finding that everything (while still good) has been very…..shaken. Shaken doesn’t even seem like the right word, but I’m not sure what is. It’s still stable, just different. It’s not ending like I thought it would. I’m very much walking out of “known” into “unknown” and there’s a mix of emotions for me with that.
.
There are more commitments now than I’ve had in previous seasons, and yet I’m finding that my calendar has shifted dramatically as I’m closing out this chapter of amazing clients and shifting gears into my new adventure. It’s spacious and fluid, and yet somehow I can see it filling rapidly with what’s ahead. As though space has been created for something bigger, greater, deeper than ever!
.
I’m anticipating 2022, fresh starts, and new adventures, but man. I’d gotten so set on enjoying what I’d known that this is causing a lot of contemplating.
.
For better or worse, I like to think. I like to think about the “what ifs” and the possibilities and the things I’d change if I did it again and the ways I’d say things differently and the hopes I have for the future. I like to think about my dreams and my visions and I like to think about what could be.
.
I spend a lot of time in my mind, and these last few months, as I’ve been transitioning out of the familiar, I’m finding more and more importance of keeping my mind orderly, stimulated, and primed for absorption of only that which will help me move forward. I’m discovering a new-found joy in eliminating the junk and creating fluid space.
.
It can be a battle zone sometimes, but I’m up for the challenge.
When stability changes
