I got a little distracted, pulling together a set for a Pride Parade next weekend. I thought I was 75% of the way there, and then some requests came in that fall outside my wheelhouse.
I can feel my heart racing, and my mind flitting from ‘here’ to ‘there’ looking for the ‘answer’ of what to add in to make this set a hit.
Before I knew how to listen to my body, I would’ve stayed in this hyper-focused frenzy for hours, maybe days on end, living in the anxiety of trying to get it right. Worrying I was going to miss the mark and mess it up. Like a dog with a bone, I’d keep gnawing away, narrowing down, until all the options were exhausted.
Don’t get me wrong, I can still go down that rabbit hole…
AND…
Something in me now notices.
“Oh look, your heart is racing.”
“Oh look, you’ve been pushing for the last hour and half without a break.”
“Oh look, your eyes are stuck wide open.”
Notices the signals when I’m ‘up and out’ from my center.
And notices the supports available around me to come back down and in.
The chair beneath me, the trees outside, the community of people I can call on, the time and space there is to create within.
And with a few deep breaths, there is now room for the answers to come. For the guidance to arrive in its own sweet time.
My heart slows a bit, eyes soften, and I’m back. Here. Now. In the Present.
This is just one of the many gifts available when in conversation with your body.
Join us today, in just under an hour, and see what might be waiting for you, just beneath the surface of your skin.
