I’ve been thinking lately about the phrase “spring awakening.”
I’m sure it’s because spring recently began. It’s just one of those times of the year that makes me feel refreshed and hopeful.
I think this is what’s meant by the phrase “spring awakening,” and I love it… So, I’m wondering what you think about it. What are you awakening your heart and mind to? What can you begin to see in ways you haven’t seen before? And in ways that supports your growth and highest good?
I see two paths. The first takes you to general thoughts about trying to be more mindful, healthy, and perhaps of service to yourself and others. The second has more specific posts: hiking in the mountains with grandkids; working up to 60 minutes of movement most days of the week; taking the kids on a special trip, etc.
I tend to drift more toward the first road. I envision myself becoming more in tune with nature – probably because I naturally gravitate to it more this time of year.
This causes me to feel secure and grounded – while also like I’m blossoming in the sunshine of my blessings and open to what the future brings.
I don’t mean I’m approaching life passively these days. I mean that I’m enjoying the process of becoming…
- The best partner
- The best friend
- The best version of me that I can be…
Now, maybe your spring awakening is filling your heart with ambitions to fulfill specific desires in the next few months, and that’s great.
I don’t think there’s a “one size fits all” answer here.
Just follow the natural themes of rebirth, rejuvenation, freshness and light… try to be vessels for the bounty of living… and see how this spirit infuses your healthy choices around exercise, food, rest, and relationships.
I see only sunshine and warm days ahead!
