FINDING JOY IN THE JOURNEY

Finding Balance

3/17/2022

There is no such thing as work-life balance - it is all life.  The balance has to be within you.
~Sadhgguru


How has your week been going?  My week was filled with crazy (people, meetings, etc.), which told me...there must be a Full Moon this week!    

Invitations of the March Full Moon


Invite balance into the parts of your life that feel out of alignment.
Look at where things feel out of balance in your life.  Where do things feel off-kilter?  Where do you feel out of alignment?  Are there ways you can bring more balance into those parts of your life?

Wake up.  Time to “Rise & Shine”.
After months of hibernating and focusing inward, it is time to wake up and become alive again.  Embrace this new beginning.  Ask yourself “What excites me right now?  What inspires me?  What do I feel drawn toward?”

Open yourself to new beginnings.
You’re moving into a season of phenomenal & monumental growth.  And you have the power to grow deeply and profoundly, this season.  You do not need to know the what & how!  You don’t have to know what’s going to grow for you, you don’t need to know what it looks like or how it’s going to happen.  You only need to trust that spring is the beginning of the growth season.  Open yourself up to the potential of new beginnings in the weeks ahead.
Tend your soil.
The gardener knows – before any seeds can be planted, the soil must be rich enough to support new life.  What groundwork do you need to do before you can support new growth in your life?  What do your body & spirit need, in order to provide the rich, fertile soil required for new seeds to take root?
Ready to find a little more balance? 
Listen to the sound bath below.
Questions for this Full Moon:
What message does the moon have for you?

​What do you need to support abundant new growth this year?

Questions for Last Month Full Moon:
What did you release?

What happened?

This full moon I choose to release...

Hitting The Snooze Button

1/31/2022

Every morning you have two choices:  hit the snooze button and choose not to pursue your dreams or bounce out of bed and chase your dreams.
~Robin Rosenstiel


Its Monday morning and the alarm goes off.  What do you do?
 
Do you feel like a groundhog that wants to hibernate for 6 more weeks?

Or

Do you jump out of bed excited about the day ahead?

If I had answered that question last week, I would have selected the groundhog option (and hit the snooze button) and slept in for another 6 weeks.  Which to be honest with you...really isn't my style as I'm a morning person.  So, I decided to dig a little deeper and look at my 2022 vision (created in December) and discovered why I wanted to stay in bed.  
 
Groundhog hibernation energy was showing me that my 2022 vision no longer inspired me.
 
So, I decided to reset my 2022 vision. 

Let Go of Something Heavy - Unburden myself from worry and doubt.
Walk with Hope - Be gentle with myself as I step into the unknown.
Allow for Pretend - Invite in imagination via Dance. Dream. Create. Write. Draw. Play.
Fall into Wonder - Be amazed by the magic of serendipity.
Discover Something New - Seek new favorite books, music, hobbies, foods, and places.
Look for Opportunity - Imagine that all the years before have been leading to now.
Chase Kindness - Plant seeds of kindness, as the world needs more kindness.


Does this vision speak to you?

Locked In A Coffee Shop

Meeting a friend for coffee is like capturing happiness in a cup.
~Robin Rosenstiel


Last week, while coaching a client, she told me that she was stuck in an 8-hour business meeting surrounded by an interesting cast of characters.  And by "cast of characters", I mean a mix of engineers, senior management, and company board members.  She went on to describe the...

Interesting Cast of Characters
  • The complainer - who points out the problems and expects everyone else (including you) to fix the problems.
  • The schmoozer - who quickly manipulates the conversation to determine what you can do for them.
  • The name dropper - who drops the name of every "important" person they know as an attempt to impress you.
  • The money obsessed - who speaks about their wealth as in attempt to make you feel less than.
  • The politician - who is a social/career climber and determines you aren't worthy of their time.
  • The eye roller - who scans the room of people and determines "I don't belong here!". 

Needless to say, I'm glad that I wasn't locked into that room!  And I'm sure you can relate - being stuck in a room (work, wedding reception, Christmas party, etc.) for an extended period of time with a cast of characters you would prefer not to associate with.  So, my question for you this week is....


If you were locked in a coffee shop for 8 hours and could not leave, who would you want in the coffee shop with you?


Below is my list...
  • Artists
  • Adventurers
  • Gardeners and Farmers (alternative crops, organic, biodynamic, and permaculture)
  • Healers
  • Holistic Medicine (herbs, reflexology, sound, yoga, etc.) 
  • Life-Long Learners
  • Nature Enthusiasts
  • Soulful Entrepreneurs
  • Spiritual People
 
What kind of "whos' do you come up with?

Center On The Feeling

How do you want to feel...confined or spacious?
~Robin Rosenstiel


This year I wasn't feeling the urge to pick a work for 2022, so I didn't.  Funny thing, that didn't stop the universe from providing me with a word. How did that happen?  As I returned to working after the holiday break, a word kept popping up...

Spaciousness

The word would pop up as I started to create my travel schedule for 2022, my new 2022 program - Shamanic Life Empowerment, and schedule some personal adventures.  And as I filled my calendar, I realized...

This is how I want to feel this year!

After a year of feeling confined, constrained, restricted, frustrated, and uninspired, it makes sense.  I'm tired of feeling like every day is Groundhog Day.  I'm ready to move on and expand in 2022. 

Now you try it - how do you WANT to feel in 2022?
  • Creative
  • Loved
  • Brave
  • Fit
  • Fearless
  • Sophisticated
  • Savvy
  • Resourceful
  • Boldness
  • Self-Assured

Not sure how you want to feel?  I get it!  Sometimes I get totally stuck when someone asks me that question.  When this happens, I find it easier to identify what I don't like.  So, if you are struggling to figure out how you want to feel in 2022, make a list of everything you don't want to feel based on your experiences of 2021.

Are you feeling stuck?  Ask this instead...
How do I NOT want to feel in 2022:
  • Uninspired
  • Lonely
  • Cautious
  • Exhausted
  • Anxiety
  • Boring
  • Powerless
  • Scarcity
  • Dull
  • Self-Doubting

Now that you identified what you don't want, an easy way to identify what you do want is to take the opposite of the word (s) you don't want.  Example:  Self-doubting -> Self-assured.  And that just might be your work for 2022. 

Try on a few words this weekend and see what fits
and let me know what you decide.

Fill Your Cup

Remember to fill up your own cup, as you can't pour from an empty cup.
~Robin Rosenstiel


I watched an interesting marketing video last week regarding priorities vs. actions.  This video really got me thinking about...

What stops me from putting my own priorities at the top of the list?
So, I would like you to take a moment and reflect on your own priorities from last week vs. where you spent your time and energy.  There is no shame or judgement here.  Just simply curiosity. 

Are my actions aligned with my priorities?
For example.  If my January priority is to make more money, am I focusing on activities that support this priority or did I focus on other activities.  If my January priority is to focus on self-care, did I actions support this priority or did my actions reflect other priorities?  If my January priority is to focus on personal growth, did my actions support this priority?  It's so easy for many of us to get distracted with actions that don't support our priorities. 

If not, why?

We tend to be the people that want to give, give, give and as a result our priorities become the last priorities on the list.  And as a result, our cup becomes empty.    You may believe you are being more generous by sacrificing your own well-being for your family, your company, your community...but you're not.  You're simply playing the role of savior without saving yourself.  It's a form of denial to believe you can help someone else without first healing yourself.

Let's face it - we have all been raised in a culture where we are made to feel guilty for saying NO.  We are told - It is an important project/task or put family needs before your own needs.  As a result, you tell yourself; it won't take too long and the next thing you know weeks or months have passed and your priorities are in the back seat.  It's even worse for those of us with big missions.  There is no extra credit for running yourself into the ground.  In some way or another, your body will tell you it needs a rest.  Often this will come at inopportune times. 

So, what can I do?
 
The most selfless thing I can do is - FILL UP MY OWN CUP FIRST


Ways To Fill Your Cup:
  • Weekly Mini Sound Bath
  • Full Moon Sound Bath
  • One-on-One Energy Rebalance
  • Shamanic Life Empowerment Training

Lose The January Pressure To Get Things Done

Remember - you are a human being and not a human doing. ~Nancy Heyen


Look outside. 
What is Mother Nature doing? 
Resting.
Follow her lead and slow it down.   
There is plenty time for action in the months to come.

January Energy:  Indulge in self-care.  Sleep as much as you possibly can.  You are building your energetic foundation for the rest of the year.  So, sleep and rest without guilt.  Stop the negative “Lazy Susan” or “unproductive” self-talk.  Your rest is your most important work this season.

February Energy:  We emerge stronger and with clarity because we rested in January.

The biggest happiness of 2021 is when I can look back
at 2021 on January 1st 2022 and say
"Thank God 2021 Is Over!".


~Robin Rosenstiel


Hallelujah 2021 is almost over!
​

In retrospect, 2021 was a hard year for myself and a lot of people I know.  Personally, I think 2021 was harder than 2020 as every day started feeling like Ground Hog Day!  I really couldn't put my finger on exactly why it felt harder than 2020 until I watched a movie last night called "The Big Year".   The movie is based on a non-fiction book called "The Big Year: A Tale of Man, Nature, and Fowl Obsession".  It is about 3 men following their passion for 1 year by trying to identify the most birds.  While watching this movie, I realized why 2021 felt like Groundhog Day.  I was...
 
WAITING
Waiting for COVID to end. 
Waiting for travel restrictions to be lifted so I could travel.
Waiting for the wind to stop blowing so I could sit on my deck.
Waiting for my corporate neighbor to create a landscaping plan.
Waiting for the News programs to stop pushing "Fear" as a daily entre.

 
WAITING FOR THE WORLD AROUND ME TO GET ITS ACT TOGETHER!

This big "AHA" moment made me realize that I'm tired of waiting!  I'm ready for a new big adventure.  Not sure what that looks like yet, but heah, just recognizing the problem and deciding to take action is a great start to getting out of Groundhog Hell.  So, I decided to pull out my "Boots on the Ground" Shamanic toolbox and clear away the bad juju of 2021 and start 2022 with a clean slate. 

 
TIME TO SET A NEW INTENTION FOR 2022
