Compassionate & Wise—every word. Especially in this season. I’ll be making a list and erasing one thing at a time very slowly, however long it takes. Thank you for your heart, Liz.
The power of moving slowly through a list of things to release. What a beautiful way to also move slowly through the season, Ann. Thank you for your inspiration and constant reminder to live life at nature’s pace.🧡
I love this so much, all of it!! In the past three years I have let go of so much. I am still letting go of comparing myself to others. I read somewhere that comparing is the death of self-confidence, and I do believe that. I'm continuing to let go of the way I saw myself for most of my life (with much negativity), and I am breathing in who I really am and becoming more and more of who I was always meant to be. This part, most especially, spoke to my soul:
"So, slow down. Create space (hint: autumn and winter darkness is the perfect time for this). Get quiet. Listen. Feel. And then, let it all rise up from within you and flow our of you. You have the power to create your life and you are meant for so much amazingness."
I am in the midst of creating a wonderful part of my life (my ministry) with some powerful, healing yoga classes. I will do just this. Slow down. Listen. Feel...later today when I begin designing my first class on Chakra 1.
It sounds like you have been on a long soul-filled journey of release and discovery for a while, Gay. How beautiful, but also deep work, I’m sure. I am so curious about your ministry and your yoga classes - that’s amazing that you are working on that. What a gift, rising from your own journey and knowledge, you will be offering! Thank you so much for your presence here and for sharing your thoughts. ❤️
Thank you Liz. This was right on time. A written affirmation of what I’ve been thinking and feeling. During this season, I will be reading this every morning. Thank you, thank you. 🖤✨
You’re so very welcome, Nelda. I’m so touched that it resonated with you. Blessings as you move slowly through this season, leaving behind those things you no longer need. 🍂
This week, or last few days, have been not so much about actively letting go, but more noticing how things fall away from me that were so present and all-encompassing in summer. I'm not even sure I want to let them go, but as my energy retreats inwards, I seem to have less space to be very outgoing, to foster connection and being social at all costs. It's a slow movement towards the core.
I live this Anna! You are so right. That is actually exactly what I have been feeling - a sense of things falling away. Making us smaller and more focused. A sense of stripping away and simplifying as we are left with only what is the truest core of what we need during this dark, inward time.
Thank you so very much for sharing your thoughts and experiencing, Anna. Wishing you peace as you anchor yourself into autumn.
Absolutely love that starting quote, its been added to my journal immediately. So many things to let go of, and each and every one is so true. I remember full on daydreaming about how much better my life would be if I could sing, not if I was kind or compassionate or well read or interesting but sing. Singing of course would be wonderful, and I still sing now even though it is terrible but to focus on one area, crumples your ability to enhance your own gifts. I realise this now.
It's interesting here. The leaves are taking much longer to turn this year, I visited the woods last week and a majority were still green. There is almost a stubbornness in them, perhaps they are less courageous this year> Very much looking forward to visiting this week and seeing the change. Thank you as always for your thoughts Liz, it always makes me feel less alone in my thoughts x
What a perfect example of how holding ourselves to a particular thing to make us feel more happy or more appreciated actually can hinder us. I can also think of so many ways and things that I need to move away from. It’s so much more important, as you say, to focus on the gifts we already have and to build upon them.
I went to the woods right after I sent this on Sunday and it was a completely different world! The leaves were breathtakingly stunning where I was. I can’t wait to see and hear about your walk!
I am so touched that you feel that connection that I do. That our voices and presence here can support and inspire each others here. You are that to me as well, my friend. 🧡
Liz, I love this. I always find it so interesting how the Universe delivers a message right when you need it, when you need to be reminded, or affirmed. There's a house about 15 minutes from mine that I drive past occasionally. They have a message painted on their garage barn door - "Relax, you're doing just fine." I find that I drive past that message at moments when I need to be reminded. This line that you wrote really stood out to me in a similar way:
"I am here to not be the best at any one thing, but to simply be the best at being me." Thank you for offering yourself in your writing with us, being the best you!
Thank you, Nicole, such a personal reflection on the magic of the universe. You are so right. I believe that simply being open and aware, we will discover these “hidden” messages meant for us at just the right time. What a beautiful way to move through our days, right? Anticipating and expecting and believing that the universe is conspiring with us for our best and highest selves. Love to you, my friend. xx
Thank you so much. Very wise words to pay attention to and remember. I’m always trying and failing to let go and I love your idea of using the falling of the leaves, letting go one at a time.
Gosh this is so beautiful Liz. I am now feeling into the time of distillation after all of the gathering and these were such wise words. So much resonated, especially letting go of powerlessness and needing to choose. Over the past few years I have also definitely let go of comparison and needing to have a plan, realising now that allowing things to unfold as they are meant to is far more easeful! xx
