Jacq KoloskiA gorgeous evening as I sit here enjoying the quiet space and contemplating what I will write about this month. Thinking about the events of the year so far and what is needed right now, my book Jacq’s Musings spoke loudly and asked to share the below excerpt. As I read it, it became very clear that in many ways this is still as relevant today as it was about five years ago when I wrote it.
These last few weeks many of us have found ourselves questioning who we are, what am I doing and possibly how did I get to this place in my life? Some days it feels like we live life by default and not actually consciously choosing. We are always choosing, we just may not be aware of what that is. Often we live life habitually and go about our day unaware of what we are doing, as if on autopilot. It’s in the space and quiet moments we give ourselves that we can really listen to what our inner self is saying. The sweet whispers of our soul calling to us to pay attention.
As I read the below excerpt I see that there are somethings I still do now, like enjoying my morning cuppa listening to the birds. I love this time for me to start my days. Then as I read more I see how I am questioning another stage of my life, being an empty nester and looking at what I want now. What beautiful adventures I have had so far.
Another Layer to Who I Am – It’s a fresh, chilly morning; heaven. I love this cooler weather. It makes me feel alive. I love my early mornings enjoying a cuppa, listening to the birds, and feeling the energy change as the world wakes up. What an interesting few weeks it’s been, with energy shifts, new awareness about situations, with old beliefs and patterns coming to the surface and letting go. I find I’ve been enjoying retreating as much as I can and one thing I’ve discovered is that I really enjoy time by myself. I haven’t always been good at this. I find I’m craving it and I stumble around a bit as I look within and ask myself, ‘What would I like to choose?’ I haven’t always known what to choose for me. What I do know is that I love time in nature and yoga. There are many changes for me – work, kids becoming more independent (Miss Talia has 85 her Ps now) letting go of outdated versions of me. My awareness of the energy shifts has intensified, my knowledge of events before they happen has increased and in many ways, I have way more time available than I ever have before. What do I do with myself? Who am I? What do I want to add to my life? I’m having fun playing in this space. Often it is uncomfortable and that is OK as I explore living my life my way. It’s a magical space I’m in and I’m embracing and celebrating each moment. Enjoy each moment and celebrate you and your life. What are you grateful for?
Take time for you and ask yourself:
💜Who am I?
💜What do I want now at this stage of my life?
💜What am I grateful for?
