I originally thought this would just be a year's challenge - I didn't know if I would even make it out of the gate, or what I would learn along the way, or what I would have of value at the end. At the end of a year, I feel I've been given a glimpse of a secret, that something wondrous lies further down the path.
If last year was to begin the art of falling backwards, this coming year is to see what happens as a result of having transitioned, of living differently, and of continuing to transition on an even deeper level. What happens now that I've been meditating for several months? What more do I know about how to live, and what does it mean? In what ways will I be going deeper, learning more?
I'm recommitting to falling backwards in this new year. I want to maintain the practice of my challenge - to strengthen and connect, to balance, heal, & transform - and see what happens in a second year, when I have some momentum. To following my enthusiasm, whatever it is, and see where it leads me. To embracing the uncertainty and the journey - enjoying my curiosity and passion for it, trusting that if I pay attention, each new piece will appear as I need it.
I've been thinking about having a soul's Purpose - what I'm giving from my soul, in small and large ways,
what I want to give more of, and how / in what ways doing so will
provide for my needs and the needs of my family. And is it even
something I need to think about, or will it come about naturally?
I've learned that when I speak of falling backwards I'm talking about a shift in my way of being in the world - literally, breaking the habit of how I show up in my life and building new ones. Not just lifestyle habits, but personality habits as well.
Passion, purpose, joy, connection...what will happen as I continue to focus on a life built around these things?
