Spiral Dance

I haven’t felt as on top of the whole being my best self thing the last couple of days.  I’ve found myself pulled in different directions and wishing I had been more present.  Where’s my now and where am I in it? A step behind maybe.  I’m sharing this because even though I’ve seen some old habits relapse — something for sure is different than it used to be. I’ve been able to speak kindly to myself and would want so much to support you in speaking kindly to yourself too no matter what’s happening.

It’s okay to experience yourself in various degrees of alignment.  

Perhaps if you can think of it all as a dance, it will feel more playful and easier as it shifts direction.  If it’s like a box step, you’ll go forward, to the right, back and to the left on repeat (assuming you’re not in the lead and you won’t feel you are in some life moments). You’ll find yourself in a moving spiral dance.  Forward.  Right.  Back.  Left. You may move lightly or you may misstep.  Both have value.

Remember to talk to yourself as you would a friend.  Whatever words you would choose to lift the spirit of another are worth being said to you.  You deserve kind words in your brightest moments and those not so bright ones too.
