Inviting, Embracing & Releasing

I became curious about my personal habits around welcoming a new day and my transition into the evening for rest.

I am working to reduce my reluctance to rise before the sun by remembering my intention to begin days by making space for my own thoughts first. Moving from deep rest to a natural waking hour has given me the space to notice what needs attention or additional support before the priorities of others and the world crowd out my own needs. 

At times, I have observed that my resistance to the sound of the morning bell has been aligned with an uninspired daily schedule and routine of “must-dos” like organizing email, files and shredding paper. Inviting inspiration into my day has included acknowledging the three hours that are available to me before I engage with any obligations. 

While this small change is adding more balance to my life, it does require that I move from a very comfortable morning bed more often. I can tell when I have honored my goal by checking in with my energy level at the end of a day. My intentional practice to rise earlier and mindfully move through the hours of the day, has helped to improve the quality of my sleep. As I begin to engage with my work and priorities each day, I am moving from a more grounded place and remembering to embrace regular pauses throughout the day.

Moving into the evening, I am also practicing carving out space to transition from the long list of tasks with art, family and social connections, movement, fun activities, and preparing for the next day. 

Finally, I am including space for reflection, gratitude and mentally releasing the day’s list for several hours of healing sleep. My goal this year is to continue to create a rhythm that honors and better supports my health which includes: home life, work, service, and creativity.

In health,
