AUTUMNAL EQUINOX - AN OPPORTUNITY TO PAUSE AND RE-EVALUATE

Are you living the life you dream of? Are you disappointed that you can no longer do the things you used to? Or maybe you're not enjoying the same things that you have in the past? 

Fall…The Autumnal Equinox, (the same hours of daylight and nighttime) is the perfect time to pause and regain balance in your life. The fall is a perfect time to pause and re-evaluate what's happening in your life. What do you like? What do you want to change?  Can you see things from another view point? Recently I had a client who was disappointed that she didn't go to the opening of the symphony…something that she has always loved to do in the past.

The opportunity..... stop and really feel into... how do you really feel about the symphony now? (Or whatever is important to you...insert your own word.) Could it be a real sense of loss or just the realization that everything changes and what was once important is no longer so. Things aren't better or worse.... they're just different!

It's imperative to honor how you're feeling and if it is a sense of loss then it's important to acknowledge that. But remember, you always have options. What if you looked at things from a possibility viewpoint…everything is possible! 

For example…Let's say you didn't attend the opening night of the symphony because you no longer linked  driving to the big city at night. What could some options be?
1. Ask a friend who is interested in the same thing that you are to go along and be the driver.
2. Drive in the afternoon, get a hotel, enjoy  a lovely dinner out, then attend the symphony…You know…make it a mini vacation.
3. Or, after careful consideration, "Do  still love the symphony or is it not really as important as it once was?  

You are always in choice! You get to decide!

For myself, I too am taking time to pause, reflect, evaluate, a personal vision quest in Kansas.

Happy Pausing!
