Dear Friends,
We always hope that life will slow down, calm down, be a little easier in the summer, right? And for some, I think it does…but for many life inevitably becomes a little more frenetic, a little more chaotic, a little less predictable. How can we find calm in the chaos, if life feels a little more like the second option than the first during this season? I’ve been thinking about and sitting with this particular dilemma a lot these past weeks, in the midst of a particularly chaotic time in my own life...spoiler alert, I don’t think I’ve had a flash of insight that will solve anyone's problems. However, these past several weeks I’ve carved out tiny little spaces in my life to spend time alone, which always helps me recharge. These past several weeks I’ve focused on breathing deeply when life feels overwhelming. These past several weeks I’ve reached out to a few people for help…which, let’s be honest, is hard for me to do. These past several weeks I’ve thought about what I need during this time, and I’ve vocalized it and advocated for it even though that was uncomfortable for me. None of the above mentioned solve the underlying issue, they don’t fix the busyness and chaos, they don’t make the frenetic go away. But, my friend, they do help. I wonder how life might feel if we are a little more willing to sit in what we need, and to advocate for ourselves a little bit more. I hope you have an amazing week, with a little more breath and a little more calm in your life, even in the midst of chaos. Love Krista
