As I sit here writing today's intention and prompts, I can't help but think of starting a campfire. It takes a little work to get it started. You get the twigs and the kindling, light it, watch it smoke, and then poof! It ignites and things are about to get really lovely.
That vision can be applied to many things in life. We feel the spark for change, make the tough choice to get started, and then the initial lead-up to implementing that change gets a bit overwhelming. You’re making lists. You’re gathering all of the accoutremont. Even though it's a slow start and incremental changes are small, one day...
POOF!
You did it! You’re making progress. You feel really good and it starts to snowball. Continuing on gets a little easier. That’s where we are today. You got the box. You sat there the first day and made the list of reasons you’re here. You committed to observing when necessary and noticing how you move through this holiday season. We’re attracting the things we want, and it is about to get good. We’re about to ignite our passion for this self-care journey.
Today is all about realizing what is giving you passion for your life right now and how to harness that to keep moving forward. And I know. I KNOW. It is the busiest time of the year. It is easy to find excuses why you can’t find time to nourish your spirit each day. But, I promise you. If you can figure it out now, it will be way easier to continue during some of the slower parts of the year.
Let's take stock of how these reflections over the past couple of days have made you feel. Can you anticipate what your ignite moment might be? Maybe you’re not as stressed. Perhaps you’re realizing that you are building a routine. Are you learning that you do have time for yourself each day? Only you know what this moment will be. And it is absolutely okay if you are unsure of what that is. You’ll know it when it happens.
