What are you holding today?

That’s not a nosey question ! I’m not asking you to share your answer… unless you would like to, in which case, be my guest.

The thing I am with is a desire to go for a walk in the gentle sunshine. I know it’s good for me and I have showered, dressed and had breakfast so how come I’m sitting here rather than doing what I’d like to do?

It’s interesting to notice where we limit ourselves. The world is so full of opportunities and choices that sometimes not committing to a decision seems easier. If I don’t commit I won’t get it wrong. Is that a familiar concept to you?

The thing is, doing nothing is a choice! Sometimes it’s exactly the right one to make, other times it’s getting in the way of saying yes to something. I’m noticing that the something can often be a person. Me! Why on earth would I do that to myself?

Somewhere along the line there’s an “old story”. It’s one that isn’t serving me well anymore and I am in the process of thanking it for the times it was helpful and gently, easing into a different way of being.

Don’t get me wrong, it was pretty helpful this morning because it has meant I cleaned the bathroom! I’m grateful for the clean bathroom too, it’s just that’s not actually what I wanted to be doing.

In the spirit of being authentically me I’m going to put on my shoes and coat and go out! Say yes to myself I’m going to take a photo that I’ll share with you when I work out how that is done!!

My destination is to see whether I can drop off my library books at the book drop… if not I’ll be carrying them for a while- all it takes is an intention and the first step!

If you would like me to hold some space for you to become clearer about what it is you’d like, what stories are present, to help to release old patterns or help you to create something that is achievable for you AND is what you desire feel free to get in touch.

Unfortunately when I arrived it wasn’t possible to leave the library books but I have had a good 3.6 mile walk returning via Highbury Fields and the sun shone for quite a lot of the way!
