September ~ Solitude

Posted on September 24, 2023September 24, 2023 by Patricia

During September we shared thoughts and examples of people who used solitude to enhance their journey. Today we recap the reason for bringing solitude into our daily lives and share techniques to embrace it.

Solitude Brings You Home

Throughout your journey, you’ve experienced countless ups and downs, faced numerous challenges, and celebrated many triumphs. These experiences have shaped you into the person you are today. It’s time to let that person out and show the world just how unique and amazing you truly are.

Every day, every moment, you have the power to make choices that align with the life you want to live. Embrace solitude as a way to come home to yourself. It’s in those moments of quiet introspection that you can truly connect with your inner self and discover your true essence.

Solitude allows you to reflect on your dreams, desires, and passions. It gives you the space to listen to your inner voice and gain clarity on what truly matters to you. It’s a time to celebrate your awesomeness and share it with the world.

Remember, you have overcome every challenge that has come your way. You are resilient and capable of achieving greatness. Embrace solitude as a way to recharge, rejuvenate, and reconnect with your inner self.

Embracing Solitude in Practice

Incorporating solitude into our lives may seem challenging at first, especially in a world that values constant connection and busyness. However, with intention and commitment, it is possible to create moments of solitude amidst the chaos. Here are a few practical ways to embrace solitude:

Carve out dedicated alone time: Set aside specific periods in your day or week where you can be alone with your thoughts. It could be as simple as taking a walk in nature, meditating, or journaling.
Disconnect from technology: Turn off your phone, log out of social media, and create a digital-free zone. Allow yourself to be fully present in the moment without distractions.
Engage in activities that bring you joy: Find activities that nourish your soul and bring you a sense of peace and fulfillment. It could be reading, painting, gardening, or any other hobby that allows you to be fully present and engaged.
Seek solitude in nature: Spend time in natural surroundings, whether it’s a park, beach, or forest. Nature has a way of grounding us and providing a sense of tranquility and connection.

So, take the time to embrace solitude and let it guide you on your journey. Celebrate your uniqueness and share your amazing self with the world. You have the power to create the life you desire, and solitude is the key that will bring you home to yourself.

The Half Way Check In

Posted on June 29, 2023September 2, 2023 by Patricia

If you are anything like me, you set some New Year’s Resolutions and haven’t done all you planned on doing. Welcome to the party. We have great intentions, but sometimes the intentions get side railed. Maybe your goals were too lofty so you’ve thrown the towel in and decided to wait till next year to tackle the plan, kind of like you did last year. If you’re thinking you failed again or that you’ll never be able to do it . . . STOP! You are no different than any of us. We all want more and we all fall short at some time or another.

DON’T GIVE UP!

Progress is progress even if it is just a little bit. Just because you’ve fallen short on a goal, does not mean you should give up on it. You just have to readjust your plan. What better time to do it than at the half way point. Make some of the steps easier or maybe fewer. Instead of saying you’ll lose 30 pounds by summer, look at what you lost (before you gave up) and decide what IS possible. If you lost 2 of the 5 pounds in the first month, use that as your new base. What were you doing when you lost those two pounds? Adjust and start again because if you stay on that same track from now until the end of the year, in December you could lose 12 pounds and that’s a heck of a lot better than giving up and putting more weight on and trying it again in January. As long as you keep trying, some good will come. Just don’t give up.

Be Proud of Yourself

On the other hand, maybe you made it easy for yourself and you already completed everything you said you’d do. Clearly, you didn’t challenge yourself if you fall in this group. Make it worth your time. Pick something you really want or have dreamed about doing and push yourself so you will be proud to say, I did it. Take you goal and break it down into six steps (July-December). Then take each one and break it down to 4 weekly goals. You can do it.

Life Happens

Don’t be tough on yourself. We all need to tweak our goals at different times throughout the year in order to move forward. But don’t give up on them. If it’s not perfect, learn from the failed attempts and celebrate the victories. During the rough patches, re-adjust and keep going. Your goals are a work in progress. Look at what was working during the good times and step back when you fall short. Acknowledge what got you off track and remember shit happens. Let’s face it ladies, we’re not perfect. Life happens, family visits and the refrigerator breaks. So what! Whatever the reason, just get back on track. If your goals are to challenging, cut it in half. But don’t give up.

It’s Spring Time

Posted on March 22, 2021 by Patricia

It’s Officially Spring!

Look what is going on during this time of year. You feel it, smell it and see it happening right before your eyes. Life is happening all around us and also within us. As the days get longer and the weather gets warmer, we witness and become part of the earth coming to life. It marks the end of hibernation and the beginning of regrowth as the birds start singing in the morning, trees begin growing green leaves and flowers push through the dirt and blossom .

There’s More

In addition, our hormones actually begin to change. We produce lower amounts of melatonin which reduces depression, our retinas are effected by the longer appearance of the sun. We sleep less and energy surges. We become more aware of body image and we begin to eat healthier. Resulting in a decreased desire to reach for comfort food. Instead, we replace it with gardening and outdoor cooking leading us to healthier choices. The nice weather draws us outside to work in the yard, take a walk and connect with others. Because we spend more time outside, we breath more fresh air and move our bodies more.

Spring Has Sprung

This is the time for rebirth, renewal, rejuvenation. It’s the season of new beginnings. What is your new beginning? What dream will you give birth to? This is your time to get into action and live the life you’ve been waiting to live. Get out of the house. Open the windows. Live! Start to fertilize your inner growth. Join a pottery class, take a walk or plant a garden. Bring a part of you to life that you have been neglecting. Get creative, set your goals and indulge in your hobbies. Start growing during springtime and continue throughout the year. It’s time to begin tending to your inner garden and make changes in your life. You deserve it.
