Diving Deeper
With each new day it feels like I am diving deeper into myself. I have dedicated so much time and energy into understanding who I am as a unique individual. I’ve been releasing the old versions of me, the virtual assistant who did everything for everyone but nothing for herself, the mom of three who juggled all the things, the wife who spent all her time trying to make things perfect, and so many more versions that feel like lifetimes ago.
Observe Before Respond
I’m being reminded today to observe before I respond. There are so many scenarios in this house where I have the opportunity to respond to what the kids are doing in a way that would look like teaching from anyone outside. What I am recognizing is that sometimes when I step in and help or teach prior to allowing them to problem solve I sometimes create more problems rather than solve them.
Trusting the Moment
There’s so much I can’t see ahead of me. I often get glimpses of what could be but questioning it usually puts me in a place of looking at it through a mental lense. Moving into this space of what I see glimpses of that I don’t fully understand and doing it anyway, is what I know to be called a leap of faith. Many reserve that phrase for big moments, big decisions, and big shifts in ones life.
