Back in the Flow
June 29, 2010
I’m not sure how or when I got “out of the flow,” but I recently realized I have felt better the last few weeks than I can remember in a long time – maybe ever. My frustrations from the first half of the year have calmed, and I am incredibly grateful to feel like I’ve wiggled my way back to the center of a gently flowing stream. I am experiencing synchronicity often and feel like I am just where I need to be right now.
I have been reflecting on why I am feeling so good. I remember feeling challenged late last year and reaching out to a coach to help me get on track, and struggling with clutter early this year (it’s not totally clear yet, but I’ve made some progress and it’s not getting in my way as much). I can’t put my finger on what specifically shifted or point to a single event that nudged me back in the flow, so I believe my commitment to stay on my path of pursuing my passion for personal growth and writing has nurtured me through a down cycle.
As I reflect more about what has happened in my life over the past year, I think mom’s health challenges late last year took a heavier toll on me than I realized at the time. She spent a couple of traumatic weeks in the hospital between Thanksgiving and Christmas that required lots of attention and caretaking by me and brother. I also experienced the end of a romantic relationship I had big hopes for early this year. I think I needed time to heal from those events, and I am grateful that I was patient with myself. I feel refreshed and excited to kick off the second part of this year with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
