Spring represents a time of renewal and growth in nature. It is also a symbol of new beginnings ~ an opportunity for personal renewal and growth. Spring encourages us to shed the old and embrace the new. Here are ideas for you along with what I chose to do in each area:
What do you do to declutter your life?
- I chose to remove armloads of clothes that did not fit or that I no longer wore. I can now easily see what I plan to wear the next day.
Were you inspired to change any routines that no longer worked?
- I decided I could not manage the workload I put on myself with my day job, my blogging, and taking two college classes.
- I decided to change our blog schedule to reduce the pressure of too much to do.
Do you find time to be outdoors connecting with the natural world?
- I must admit I use my lunch hour and after work to complete my to do list. The good news is I am able to sit in my office and in my reading chair with a full view of the beautiful NC outdoors. This view creates so much joy and peace in my heart that I don’t mourn my loss of outdoor time.
- When I do have time and the weather cooperates, Paul and I walk in our neighborhood.
How do you nurture your relationships?
- I am experiencing family estrangement with my daughter and granddaughter. I find it inexplicitly painful and heartbreaking.
- This experience now and in the past has helped me to focus my coaching on those who want to build healthier ties with their families or find a way to manage the pain of estrangement.
- To go beyond my pain, I will be receiving counseling and training with the internationally renowned Dr. Becca Bland.
How do you express mindfulness and gratitude?
- Although I have mantras and prayers I say daily, I have never mastered the art of meditation. In my studies to become a spiritual counselor, I will be practicing daily meditations which I hope to share with you in the coming months.
Change is inevitable but it can represent the springboard for growth and transformation. I hope you enjoy my short poem about the transformational power of change.
