What a year it has been...
Does anyone else feel like November flew by like a tornado??
This winter season has been interesting, to say the least. I usually use this time to hole up and reset, but this year has felt different — less hiding, more observation.
With the solstice here and the light slowly returning, I did something unexpected and went to church for the first time in forever. Not a traditional, biblical kind of church — more a space to talk honestly about life, being human, taking care of your spirit, and helping others take care of theirs too.
We sat with a couple of questions that really hit me:
“What is the meaning of what seems to be? And what is really, really real?”
And “How can we stop blaming ourselves or anyone else, and just accept what’s happening?”
And honestly… we all got really emotional. Not because anything was wrong — because we took a moment to really listen and think about how much energy we spend placing blame on things and people, and how much time we spend worrying about things outside of our control. Letting ourselves feel instead of powering through felt really good. I literally felt my shoulders relax a little.
It reminded me how much the weight of our feelings shows up in our bodies. Moving your body helps process emotions, and rhythmic, bilateral movement (left-right patterns like walking) is especially powerful.
The physical activity I’ve been doing — bodyweight movement, mindful stretching, and other ways of moving — isn’t about “working out.” It’s about letting things move through me, meeting emotions in my body, and staying grounded while keeping my mind and body strong enough to carry all types of 'weight'.
How has this season been landing in your body, not just your mind?
