Grounded

Dear Friends,

It’s hard to be in a space where we feel less than grounded, where we feel like we don’t have a sure footing in some or multiple areas of our lives, where we know change is coming, but we might not know what that change will look like on the other side.

I’ve been thinking about my blog post from last week a lot, and specifically about my (surprising to me) disappointment in being unable to live in the place that I had built up in my mind to be my next home base when it was time to move.  As I have reflected on it, I am convinced that disappointment has less to do with where I’m moving next, and more to do with the fact that there are several areas in life where I am simply less than grounded right now…spaces in life where change is imminent, but I’m not quite sure what life will look like on the other side of that change.  I think that particular home base represented a little bit of sure footing in the midst of change, and so the disappointment was real when it was not able to come to fruition.

It’s uncomfortable to be in this liminal space.  Even so, I think, in the midst of that discomfort there is room to seek out and find grounding in our own selves and in our world around us.  Perhaps that grounding comes in the form of the people in our lives, or in our movement practices, or finding spaces and places that feel familiar and good to focus on.

We may not be able to find grounding in all areas in our lives, and there are times when life might feel downright shaky, but I think if we’re willing to pay attention to those areas where we can find that sure footing, it might just help us in our inevitable periods of transitions.

I hope you have an amazing week, my friend.

Love
Krista
