I have heard people say they could never retire because they wouldn’t know what to do with themselves but I can tell ya’, if you love your life and the people in it, there is a never-ending list of things to do and experience!
Hard to image that it has been eight weeks since I put in my two weeks’ notice! I am not sure if it feels like a lifetime ago or a week ago, it swings both ways. As usual in life, you make your plans and then life happens! Seems to be holding true for me in my current situation.
A roller coaster would probably best describe the past eight weeks. I have had some really great highs, and some devastating lows. The sheer fun of Mardi Gras’ to the sudden death of my father all blended in with the newness of my changed life. Trying to get a handle on things has been a bit of a struggle.
I mentioned a few blogs ago, I also quit my coaching job. That has had a new unveiling. I have decided to keep two of the classes and I am now creating my own little coaching gig within my Crossfit box. Mobility and Meditation. I had my first two free classes last week which were a success. This week I am offering two more free classes to allow people to experience what the class is like before I set up a six-week cycle for the class.
It’s exciting to sit down, think of all the things you love and then squash them together. My first opportunity at creating a new source of income for myself!
I’m not a 100% sure if this is the path I will continue down, but in this moment, it feels 100% right for right now.
Sometimes the paths we go down in life do not always have to mean, “The end all be all.” It is good to be in a constant state of forward motion, seeing where each new path leads us. Sometimes it’s not the path at all that causes the growth, it’s the people and places we see along the way that show us to new paths. The most important thing we can do, is just continue to move!
Do not stay stagnant, there will never be growth there. We must move forward, especially when we feel our feet stuck in the quicksand of life!
Trust in the process that life is always ready to move when you are. It’s the simple navigation of life. We can’t always see where we are going, we just have to trust when our heart tells us to move, it has our greatest interests at hand. Even when that left hand turn seems scary, make it anyway! Trust in your inner guidance, it has great things in store for you!
The longer I am away from the “reality” I created for myself in the past, the more I am realizing the greatest reality we can have in this life is, “Truly anything is possible.”- not because we set our mind to it, but we allow our hearts to lead us there.
I am finding peace in the moments, and surrendering to the moments of chaos. Knowing that both feelings are never permanent. They are just passing, like the birds in the air. They are free to come and go as they please.
When we realize that we do not own those feelings of chaos or peace anymore then we own the birds in the air. We will be free.
