The way I approach an ocean swim is similar to my journey with health.
Ocean
Holding Space
How would you describe holding space for someone?
The Chase for Control
My life is common and very routine. I keep it this way. Routine has kept me working and in fairly good health.
A Touch of Gold
I know that inspiration happens when I'm receptive to it, so I try to bring my mind and body into the current moment…
When Out-of-the-Ordinary…
In a world where everything is fairly routine, out-of-the-ordinary experiences are the sparks that brighten your life and keep you going. These occurrences are unplanned yet delightful surprises. I happened upon one of these ‘sparks’ in recent weeks.
It Was A Success!
When we arrived home, I messaged a friend, “We are home from vacation! It was a success!”
Knowing Your Needs
Having awareness of what you require to be in good health is so important. Canceling plans or making them; using those short breaks throughout the day to refuel is so essential.
Change of Plans
It was a planned vacation that had its own plan.
Beyond Comfort
And as I ruminate, the more I understand that this is alright for a season but I was born in an open ocean, and with it comes challenges, hurt, tragedy, joy, friendships, love, passion and beauty.
Eased by Kindness
Those who actively prioritize their well-being are aware of their internal pulses and do a great job coping - even when highly stressed.
