I planned on meditating and doing yoga this morning but when my eyes opened I asked "what is you really need" and I waited (or procrastinated) and as I slipped into a lazy meditation it came to me...GO SLOW. Yep. That felt right. So I just stayed in bed waiting for the morning to come to me. 

This week has been one of those where everything feels a bit too...bright, sharp, unsettling, exhausting, exciting, huge, vulnerable...I could go on. But basically just too much - in good ways and bad. I know myself well enough to know I need to heed these whispers before I crash. So as I've moved through my morning it is the voice I hear in my head...slow...pause...stop and look up.

Sipping my coffee, I feel the cool fall air blowing in and look up to gaze at the brilliant maple tree. I take a deep breath and look at what I really need to get done today...5 things. Thats it and moving slowly. We all can get swept up in the press of the day - the press of life. We create that in our heads. 

I started this Basics Boot Camp in transition and while life has settled (my little three year old gremlin is adjusting to his brother's absence a titch better - progress) the edges of change are still there. And it isn't just me many clients and friends are in transition right now. There is a tendency to want to race through transition to make it go away, to get to the other side faster...it doesn't work. Better to pause and retreat. Take it slow. 

Week 5 Challenge: Go slow.
