Going Withing + Balancing Deep Emotions
/
Happy November!
Is it just me or does this year seem to have gone by more quickly than most?
This month brings us to:
The beginning of the holiday season
Heading toward the end of 2019 and the End of a Decade (what?!)
Moving into longer nights, darker days, and the deep pull to stay indoors and to dive deep within our inner worlds.
That’s a whole lot of stuff happening this month.
November has a beautiful quality woven into it where we can find the rhythm of moving through all of these shifts and markers by leaning into the organic change that happens little by little each day during this month.
You may notice that you look forward to this time each year because there is a deep slow down that happens. We can see that slow down visually all around us as we watch the leaves changing color and dropping away and feel the cold wind and weather make itself known to us.
The days get a little bit shorter and the nights get a little bit longer and we start spending more time indoors and at home. Maybe you look forward to wearing cozy flannel pajamas (raising own hand), drinking hot apple cider, and sitting in front of a cozy fire.
This time where there is less daylight naturally supports us in turning inward and taking an opportunity to check in with our feelings, our emotions, and our own personal needs. When we have this opportunity for a slow down, we start to feel how much we actually need it and realize how much we’re doing every single day.
So much of our day is spent in doing + giving whether for our jobs, loved ones, and all the tasks that have to get done each day. We create these little nooks and crannies to support the self care that we need here and there where we can. That is a great way to create self care and self support as we manage all the things; however, at this time of year, we get a little boost of support from mother nature herself.
It’s like we get a little reminder that we actually need:
More Sleep
More Time at Home
More Soothing and Rustic Kinds of Foods
More Time with People + Pets we Love
More Time to Feel our Feelings
More Time to Invest in Activities that Feed our Souls
So many people tell me that at this time of year they feel inspired to pick up old hobbies that have been shelved, to create and or write again, to play music, to read just for fun, and to get back in touch with the things that they love and that make them feel like them again.
You know that old adage about how when the noise is turned off you can actually hear your own thoughts?
It’s really true!
In this sense, the noise being turned off is happening by us being guided inside earlier into the quiet spaces around us and within us. No, this doesn’t mean that you have to sit in your home in silence. (you can but it’s not necessary) You can actually hear the quiet during this month, and I bet that if you tune into this experience, you’ll simultaneously be able to hear the guidance from your inner self about what you need to do for you at this time too.
This is a deep time of healing and revealing.
As you lean into the natural rhythm of November, you’ll notice that you find things and situations which are falling away from you too. You’ll notice that you unearth feelings and old stuff that wants to fall away and that wants to come full circle for you.
This is all part of reaping our own abundance.
Enjoy this time of going inward, of embracing the fruits of your labor this year, and of leaning into this season of self care, self nourishment, and the quiet joys that are wrapped up in this gift we call, November.
I’ll be spending my quiet time this month doing some of my favorite things, canning, baking, cooking, and knitting…and wearing cozy flannel pajamas of course.
Wishing you a wonderful month and I look forward to working with you in person or over the phone.
With love,
Kristy~xoxo
