Balance, Completion and the Choice of Many Paths

Be brave this week and watch your world change.

Has life just been go, go, go lately? Are you finding yourself out among the people, doing things and going places? Or have you been hiding out a bit from life? Staying in? Embracing your hermit side maybe just a little too much?

Either is okay, and we all have our preferences between being extroverted and introverted, but now is the time to find a balance between being with community and being with yourself in however that feels for you.
​
Note any tendencies to avoid what you need to deal with by either immersing yourself in the world of others or of hiding out in your own contemplative world. Again, both are great... but too much of either creates an imbalance within and without.

Balance is about finding where it feels best to be at any given time with clarity and purpose. If you’re using friends and family to hide out from what you need to look at, or if you're just plain hiding out on your own, please know that this week provides you with the energy needed to find just the right balance of social and solitude.

One last thing about that... don’t be afraid to take some risks this week in terms of your personal comfort zones... try something new... say yes to something or say no to something you usually say yes to. Be true to what you want to do, but also push yourself outside your comfort zone, and you may very well find something there that you’ve been wondering about or looking for.

Midweek is about completion. A cycle has finished of is very close to finishing for you... which means there is no more growth or even benefit from hanging on to what has been, or the old energy. As a matter a fact, hanging on at this time will only serve to create obstacles down the road, so do what you need to do this week (especially midweek) to close this cycle (and you know what that is) now, so you can move on to new possibilities and potential in your life.

This may feel or sound scary right now, but please know that when something.. anything (a project, a relationship, a life situation) is completed, it’s a time of celebration... it’s a time to honor what has been, and look forward to what new forms will come from the future. It’s time to reap your harvest and enjoy what you have sown. 

You may also need to mourn, but the focus here is on celebration for whatever it is that is over. If you frame your grief that way, it becomes a different experience... more about gratitude, laughter, and amazement than loss, pain, and suffering.

After the clearing of the week, we find ourselves looking at many paths, as the week comes to an end. This means that if we have done our work earlier, we find ourselves looking at many and new opportunities now. 

The challenge is to have to courage to be bold and step off the paths you feel comfortable on and take a chance on something new. 

There is a reason it’s called ‘the beaten path’... it’s been walked so many times that it’s worn out. That is not the path you want right now... you are being called to take the path less traveled...you are being called toward uncharted territories. 

How exciting is that? 

Not only that, it’s safe and advised for you to make your move now... you’ve literally outgrown your current situation and it’s time to step outside your comfort zone. You can do this! Trust yourself and trust life to take you somewhere new and amazing!

It’s a big week... really all about getting real with yourself and where you’re at in your life. It’s a week that requires you to believe in your courage. But if you do, you will find things opening up for you in ways you never expected and things clearing out that you no longer need.

This is a beautifully supportive week... we are called to find balance, to complete what we know is done, and move out of our comfort zone towards what is new and supportive (and maybe a little scary) This all takes incredible personal courage!
