Life’s Little (and sometimes BIG) Detours

The last month has been quite the ride!  Little Bee started school, I decided to give my small business idea a try, I am taking an amazing course in Reflexology and I have just accepted a new position with my employer.  Wow!  This much change in such a short time would have knocked me right off my equilibrium before.  Not now!  I’m not saying that there aren’t moments when I begin to feel a bit overwhelmed…because I do.  However, I am aware when it happens and when I begin to feel any anxiety around all of the changes I try to become an observer.  I listen to the thoughts that surface and then respond like a supportive friend.

In the past I have given too much attention to the negative thoughts that tend to come up around doing anything new…it won’t work, no one will be interested, I don’t know what I’m doing…and on the list would go.  It has taken some really hard work to dig myself out of that line of thinking and into a more positive and active space…just give it a shot, put it out there (in the Universe) and be ready to receive the feedback, this is a good idea. 

This shift has allowed me to actually enjoy the little (and sometimes BIG) detours that life offers.  I don’t get all worked up when my vision of how things might play out ends up looking different.  I am able to accept the way the present unfolds but still enjoy imagining the possibilities going forward.  I have released so much of the resistance I held before and can physically feel myself flow more easily with life.  As an example, I have noticed recently that driving my car is much easier.  When I turn the wheel or push the gas the car moves so nicely.  I don’t feel like I have to put as much effort into making it go where I’d like.  It’s like we’re in sync!

The best news is that if I can do this anyone can J.  The effort is nothing compared to all of the positive outcomes, I promise!

With love,
