Being In-between
The in-between where you’ve been, and where you envision yourself going is the epitome of bittersweet. When I look back, I am so grateful for the progress I’ve made, and how I show up for myself today. When I look too far ahead, I feel anxiety and fear start to creep in, trying to take control. That’s why when I’m asked “Where do you see yourself five years from now?” I begin to spiral! My journey, has come many with so many twists and turns that I never could’ve envisioned for myself in a “five years from now” question. Unpopular opinion: why should we focus so much on the future?
If I am here now, I am at ease. Everything is as it should be. My path has brought me to this very moment, where every second that lead to now, has been impactful. It doesn’t matter how I got here, because life itself is found, in this exact moment. I find solace in the “in-between” of all that I’ve been, and all that I will ever be in this life.
I am becoming.
Becoming is beautiful and bittersweet. You’ll want less, you want more- but it feels so good to just lie on the floor!
Try it! lie on your floor, or your yoga mat & breath deep.
Scan the body for tensions, and identify the body part that holds them.
These tensions that you hold in the body tell you a story, if you become still enough to listen. Did you know? You are not your emotions, or your tensions. Take time each day to just “be.” Be in the role of the observer, we are here to learn. By default, we over complicate our lives by re-living the past, and trying to control the outcomes of our futures.
Escape auto-pilot mode, if even just for a moment of solitude each day.
What if it all turns out better than what you could’ve imagined for yourself?
