When we are true to ourselves and follow our passions and interests, we are acting as a good example. We don’t want to model staying small or doing the things that we are “supposed to do” instead of the things we are passionate about or our children will have a harder time following their own passions. A beautiful quote about this that struck me was by Ed Mylett: “One of the most insidious forms of child neglect is a parent who doesn’t chase their dreams and potential.” Let that sink in. This doesn’t just apply to those big dreams and big passions, this is true for the small things that light you up.

Sometimes in life, we become so inundated with stress that we end up in a hole too deep to dig ourselves out of. This doesn’t have to feel like a sad pit of despair, maybe it feels like being constantly overwhelmed, on edge, and irritable.

No, I’m not referring to being grounded as being locked in your room and losing privileges. The type of “grounded” I am referring to is the process of becoming more aware of the present moment by taking in the senses and connecting with earth and the life force energy or “chi”.

We have all heard the term “empathy”, but have you ever heard the term “empath”? This is a phenomenon I first stumbled upon a few years ago that has brought great clarity and self-understanding for me.

I have listened to the inner voice that told me to be still and wait. To not get wrapped up. Be still. Rest and rejuvenate. Take time for introspection and hearing inner guidance and intuition. Do less, allow more. Surrender.

Earlier in February, I was involved in a group devotional called “Dangerous Prayers”. In this devotion, they challenged us to pray to God to break us so that we could live more fully in His will. Being a high-achieving, studious person, I took this challenge on and did just that. I prayed for God to break me. And He has.

It’s the beginning of the new year and a whole new decade. As I have reflected over the past year, and especially over the past decade, I have been astonished by all that has happened.

I am a bulldozer, or as my husband has lovingly said, a snowplow, due to my Minnesota roots. I spent the first 25ish years pushing through life without regard to what my “machine”, my body, needed, and without listening to the signals it was giving me.
