My deep commitment........

The world at large is highly inflamed at the moment.....and as that energy comes on a global scale, and on the world's stage.....it is a contagious energy that seeps into other places.....and into our own world........and that is challenging.....because I have said it many times.....ENERGY IS CONTAGIOUS......in all of its forms.....and social media has become this tide of energy, finding its way into all of our lives......and I think as things continue to heat up, it is important to be so very protective of our own energy, and the energy we decide to share with the world too.....as I touched on surrender this weekend.....it rings true here too....we cannot change the minds of certain folks.....or impart reason, and logic where there isn't any......BUT we can choose to protect our own energy and do the things we know help us thrive energetically....and I think learning that in this chapter has been the single most powerful lesson......I will be doubling down on my meditation, and exercise, and love of nature indeed....and doing the same for my children......my kids had a nice weekend too.....and my girl still snuggles up beside me from time to time.....and we both fell asleep that way last night after she got home.....it was early like 7:30, and I think we both needed everything about that, .....and we slept soundly all night....my consciously deciding to sit out the Super Bowl drama, not look at it all........and currently the energy that I am not a fan of is swirling intensely at the moment.....and my plan is to go within.....retreat to the sanctuary of my own space....intentionally unplugging more often......read......spend time keeping my kids close, and cozied in.....sharing my tools with them too.....it really matters.....it really does....and learning that powerful fact in this chapter, makes me shudder to think of how I coped at other times in my life.....and I guess looking back I didn't cope so well, suffering tremendously at certain points, and the truth is, I struggled during times of trouble, not having anything to anchor me.....having no life raft, and just succumbing to the energy.....and in this chapter I have learned what to do to have that not happen again......and Saturday night was such a gift of respite amid the heaviness as of late, like a divinely placed beautiful gift, and it was like a magical little blip.....and I loved it...............so I am using ALL of my energy to vibe high amid the noise and chaos......ALL OF IT......I also trust that as things are breaking down in certain places, that it is the beginning of transformation, and a new way......sometimes things need to be broken down fully to be born again......I certainly have experienced that......I have running again in my sights.....I have gotten away from it some in the last couple of years.....opting for strength training, and calisthenics....which are everything, and I won't ever stop those:) BUT there is a place for doing some running.....some sweaty cardio, does amazing things for the mind and spirit......it is a beautiful release for energy that gets stuck......so my plan this week is to find the best way to incorporate it into my flow! So if you are reading this......it is a good idea to look at ways that you can combat the energy that is threatening to suffocate us all right now......insulate yourself some....be protective of yourself......and BE THE CHANGE.....use your energy to change the world around you! We have the power to do that, I truly believe that.....I saw that Saturday night! Happy Monday! You got this and so do I;-)
