Ever catch yourself in that vicious cycle of feeling like you have to start all over again?
It is that time of year when everything feels to get out of whack. Schedules are loaded with extra things to celebrate for the holidays.
Your kids are home from school. Work is filled with extras to accomplish before the year end.
You get so busy that your whole routine gets completely thrown out of whack! You never seem to know what day it is the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day.
Over the years I have listened to people get frustrated during this time about getting off of their routine.
The thing is that we love our routines! We crave them since it is a structure. We actually do enjoy structure, believe it or not.
I’ve been on my spiritual journey for the last 11+ years. It now is a rare thing for me to not listen, read, or involve myself in my own personal growth.
However, I can tell when I get out of my own routine. My thoughts are shifted back into the victim mentality. Things feel hard and challenging.
I go back to my default self. The one who created narratives to keep myself safe from (allegedly) getting hurt.
The self that operates from a place of fear.
I’ve been doing this so long now that I shift myself into a space of EXTREME self-compassion and give myself what I desire so I can release the fear and step back into possibility.
I used to get on myself (and still do at times!) that I am constantly starting all over again. However, this is my fear talking. I am committed to my journey and not the sprint.
I never stop stopping. I’ve got one life to experience!
During this holiday season, what is the one thing you will do for yourself to shower extreme self-compassion on yourself? Email me back letting me know so that I can support you when you veer of course.
