The half way mark
We have just passed the half way mark of the year. How are you feeling? Has this year gone to plan? For many of us we are still dealing with the post Covid reality of life. Covid has not gone away, we are just getting used to living with it.
Living with Covid in the community comes with its own challenges and there is still plenty of disruption to work, family and leisure. And in Australia we have dealt with floods, a constantly wet year and and of course all the other realities of the world we live in. It would be easy to become discouraged.
So at this halfway point I want to take stock. I want to ask myself and to ask you, what are the most important things for you at the moment? How is your spirit/soul life? Is your spirit free or weighed down by the challenges we face? Are you barely hanging in there or are you thriving?
I want us to thrive in every area of our lives. As a spiritual life coach, my passion is to see each person thriving in their journey of life. I understand the many pressures we face and working with individuals and groups, I have discovered that whether or not we prosper financially, if our soul is not prospering, then neither are we.
I have a process that you can follow that can help you get back on track. But if your not ready for that, here are a few thoughts to help you improve the soul/spirit dynamic for the rest of the year. You don’t have to do them all. Choose what works for you.
Consider your day.
Where can you find time to stop, even for a few minutes, and take take time to be mindful of your surroundings, your thoughts and your feelings.
Where can you find time, maybe early in the morning, over a break, or lunch, or later in the day to do something you love doing. (It could be reading, listening to music, writing, or just resting.)
How might you include journalling in your day? This can be a simple line that describes your day, or you can write more if you wish. It’s up to you.
Who are you connecting with? Good relationships are so important. so a few tips: are they speaking lifegiving words that encourage you; do they have good boundaries; do they allow you to be yourself?
What stories do you tell yourself about people and situations that may not be true? We tend to tell ourselves stories all the time and our brains will fill in the gaps. This is not always helpful. Check the story: is it reflective of the true situation or are you believing what is not true.
