I’ve experienced a myriad of feelings this week. Some have shown up with full force, screaming till they got noticed. Others have been as gentle as a whisper. It’s as if I’ve been caught a ragging rapid and then discovered gentle moving water. I’m sure I’m not alone!
Yesterday, as I selected my diffusing oils, I felt the inspiration to try something new. My ego was having none of it! “You fool!” “You’ll hate it!” “It’s such a waste!” She was desperate to keep me in the familiar funk. I decided to do it anyway. Often when my ego gets loud and abusive, it means it’s exactly what I should do! The result? I LOVED IT! I felt uplifted, joyful even, and marveled at the power of just changing something small.
In a time when our freedom is limited and sense of control has walked out the door, small changes are so potent. Here, we can reignite our sense of freedom, choice, and hope. As my day progressed, I found other opportunities for small change. I embraced music that ignited spontaneous dance while I washed the dishes. I listened to a podcast that deepened my understanding of relationships and connection. Those small changes fed my heart while I managed childcare and work. Ultimately, my day was still tough, but dude, was it a hell of a lot easier!
What opportunities for small change have come your way? What could help you listen to them more closely?
