Instant Changes

Dear Friends,

While I was driving through the park last week, I noticed, while spring was springing all around, and blossoms were blossoming, yet, all the trees in the park were still bare and void of life.  The very next day, as I drove that same road through the park, there were little dots of green all around me. One of my clients last week aptly referred to the trees at this stage as like an impressionist painting…life was springing up throughout the park in this beautiful moment of instant change.

How are you feeling, my friend?  I don’t know about you, but this past week the political climate we have been living through has been rough on my nervous system.  I noticed a distinct feeling of exhaustion earlier this week and realized I had been holding a lot of tension, a lot of nervousness, a lot of…a lot.

And there’s not a whole lot I can do about it, other than limit my consumption of the news.  But I can anchor back to the good, the beauty, the life springing up around me in that moment of instant change.  I can find other ways in my life to anchor back, ways that allow me to feel a semblance of control in one area even if I can’t feel that control in others.

My dear friend, sometimes there’s no help to be had for the exhaustion and nervousness, but I do think if we’re willing to take some time to anchor back to the good, the beauty and the life around us we can find a little deeper breath and a little more relief.

Have an amazing week.

Love
Krista
