Life’s Transitions

Life in between transitions can feel destabilizing, such as a big move, a life-altering decision to make, or processes of loss. These moments in life feel difficult because the unknown is so overwhelming, and you can’t quite find your footing. It’s moments like these where grounding yourself and finding your anchors help ease the burden. Whether you can anchor to loved ones, pets, places, or things that bring you ease is recommended. When the world is on fire, finding moments of stillness aids in grounding to continue the necessary efforts rooted in collection, compassion, and care.

I ground myself with each breath, intentional and relieving with deep inhales and exhales. I nourish my body with balanced meals and hydration. In those moving moments, meeting my physiological needs becomes an afterthought thus I keep intention in mind. I take moments to reflect and fill my cup, as they say, you can’t pour from an empty cup. I find stillness in Mother Nature to ground myself in this season of hibernation in the northern hemisphere. I notice the still branches, the snow on the ground, and the cooling effect on my skin.

It’s with winter hibernation in mind that I ground myself, shower myself with grace, and welcome a slowness in hand during transitory times.
