NOURISHING

Once again, I've found inspiration through one of my clients.

Nourishment.  What does it mean to you?
And how can you nourish mind, body, spirit?

I'm thinking....nourishment outside of food consumption, isn't something we think of often.  

Unknowingly that big, full breath of fresh fall air goes unnoticed.  That loud hearty laugh straight from the belly, dissipates quietly.  The warmth we feel from friends and family seems to fade all too quickly.  

Often we find our selves contracting, but not expanding.  By contracting I mean....escaping. Retracting.

It's easiest to find pleasure in one or many things...big or small, in order to escape realities that consume us.  The thing is, YOU GET TO AUTHOR EVERY SINGLE MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE.  You get to choose what's toxic to your well being, and what's nourishing.  If we were able to just quit escaping for a few minutes and observe the things we've let into our life, we also have the power to remove what isn't truly working. There's nothing "wrong" with letting the "wrong" things in.  Trial and error is absolutely allowed.  As are mistakes.  Perfection is way over-rated in the name of true awareness!

So...my pies, I challenge you with this in the coming days.

What's working? Or could work?
What is not working?
Are you able to accept your decisions, all decisions, with grace and responsibility?
Identify what it is you'd really like.  Dream BIG!
Think of a way, or two (or three!) you'd like to get there.
Stop and think...are you being hard on yourself?  
Graciously take that step forward, a step closer to your most authentic version of yourself.
Expand.

Love, love, LOVE.
