Being Authentic

Uggghhhh the last few days…okay actually the last week has just felt very heavy. With all the political shit storms happening, the uncertainty about where we are headed and to top it off I have had some reactions or an outward physical sensitivity to something. I cannot put my finger exactly on what it is but coffee is suspect…

Through this frustrating period I have tried to maintain my most important routines. Every morning I clear the lymph system in the body and then do some twisting and jumping followed by breath work. And every time I close my eyes to do the breath work I can see some visions of mala necklaces that I have long been wanting to make.

While I have yet to learn how to do this I did take the steps to start looking at the beads I would like to use. There are also other steps that I need to look into and learn, like how to drill out hard stones or crystals. But one thing at a time. I am planning this out because I am hoping to visit a friend in the next few days and as I go on this little road trip I will make a stop or two at the bead shops instead of ordering online.

Ahhh okay but let’s get to the point. The point I guess is this – go in the direction that feels good. Do what inspires you and brings joy. While I have deeply felt these troubling times, and I switch from worry to looking ahead I realize that nothing is more important than THIS moment. Right here. Right now.

I may not know all the answers for myself like where I am going or how I am to get where I’d like to be. But I do know that I can only get there one day at a time and to TRULY get there means being ME. Letting my true self shine.

Be not afraid of growing slowly, be afraid of standing still.
