Recently I’ve been pulled to the thought of writing for the sake of writing. And then I remembered, I have a platform here that allows me to be completely creative and free in this respect.
I know that in order to have more, you need to do more. I’ve been craving more creativity, spirituality and connection to myself. To have more of that, I know I need to be more creative, focus on my spirituality and spend more time connecting to me.
So I’m going to start writing in here, for the sake of writing. Maybe one person will read this and maybe 1000 will but it doesn’t matter, what matters is that I’m sharing and adding value, and the right person will see this as they are meant to.
This morning I woke up feeling pretty crappy and I wanted to stay in bed and snuggle with Maple (my puppy). But some sort of knowing made me get up regardless and put on my clothes. I’ve been sleeping in more over the last two years than I ever have. Before my uncoupling I was always up at 5am to start the day but lately, cuddles, puppies (I really want to blame the puppy cuddles for extended sleep ins!) and the desire for comfort has me staying in too long. But with that I’ve definitely found myself feeling less grounded.
I decided to walk and listen to a new podcast that I can’t for the life of me remember where I found it. It was really good. It was perfectly timed and about what to do when you’re feeling uninspired. And like any good podcast, I can’t really remember the specifics of what she spoke about, but I remember the way she made me feel. I was reminded of my power to create my own energy and not just let life LIVE me.
I got myself a green juice, I sat on a chair on by the beach and I watched the world go by. The seat was the most comfortable place I felt like I had ever sat. I rested, drank juice and listened to a meditation. It just felt good. And what I realised is, that I could literally have made one small decision that would have had me missing that moment. That life is literally just a collection of choices we make each day.
The decision to get up or sleep in.
To take the shortcut or go the scenic route.
To listen to a meditation or call a friend and gossip.
To take an extra 10 minutes to meditate in nature.
Life really isn’t the big ‘instagrammable’ moments. The wedding proposals, holidays, new outfits or forever home purchase. It really is those tiny moments that create the threads of your day, but eventually will coat your life as the fabric that you created through those decisions.
So today I’m not focusing on perfect. I’m just going to make a better decisions in each moment and see where that takes me.
