Why I love Dreamstepping 7/365

Whenever I get stuck I can pin point it to one of the six transitions and I know exactly how to get out of the rut. Today was one of those non stop doing days, I found myself after the 10th errand feeling like I was spinning my wheels and with a vague sense of having missed something. It wasn’t feeling good. When I realized I was stuck in act mode I took a few minutes to consciously tap into enjoy and looked back on my day with a pride of accomplishment. It didn’t take long to lift my mood and slide from there into reflection. When you reflect from a place of appreciation and enjoyment you think far, far more clearly (seriously, there’s biology behind this!) and I was able to pinpoint the thing I’d missed and took care of it quickly. Why do I love dreamstepping?  A clear path out of just about every rut!

A Different Christmas

So I’ve had just over 24 hours of true holiday time on my own. Nothing was open, there was no where to go and nothing that needed doing since my culinarily gifted sister has volunteered to cook Christmas Dinner tonight. I got more creative work done in those 24 hours and feel more rested and peaceful and connected with the possibility in my own dreams than I have in months. I’m so grateful for this quiet time this year. I just wanted to connect with that before the kids come home and their energy and delightful presences fill the house again. More to be grateful for there for sure.  And it is different.
