Stay close to your true self, stop going out to meet other energies. . Stay healthy in your body and let go of the physical pain you are carrying from these pandemic years. . Create strength and stability in your physical, mental and emotional bodies so you can move in the world the way you would like to. . Recommit to love, in all ways with all beings. . Question your prejudices and all of the ideas you’ve inherited or adapted that are not your own, you do not have to morph to belong. . Choose not to participate in in anything that doesn’t feel aligned for you. . Be the center of gravity in your own life… The minutes, hours, days and years of your life are yours to use as you choose. Make choices about how you want to use them—engage when you want to, pull in when you want to, learn to listen to the rhythms in this that are right for you. Speak this aloud in words, communicate what you need, how you feel, where your boundaries are, what you are available for and to. Animate new aspects of yourself every day, while still remembering source. Maintain friendships that sustain, and release yourself and others from those that do not. --from a journal entry upon returning from Costa Rica in December. These insights, and taking action on them, has already shifted so much for me. Travel can be a way to gain perspective--about ourselves, our relationships, and the world. Maybe some of these insights will be gems for you as well. And if you are looking for a journey this year, I'm leading three retreats and co-leading a destination teacher training this year. DM me with questions.
