And so November winds down…
This is often the time of year when we consider how we're going to be moving forward into the new year. Our intentions can include different jobs, new relationships, relocating—any of which can fall on our "Begin Anew" lists.
We take stock to assess what's working and what isn't in our lives and how we want to approach these aspects differently. We may discover that a simple tweak is all that's needed. Other times, it can involve a full blown reset full of major changes and even upheavals.
Either way, the practice is about moving on—how ever that may look in the moment.
And what do we tend to do when we want to move forward?—away from what feels off, or stagnant, or even overwhelming? We begin the process of winnowing: this moves forward with me; this doesn't. I don't want this in my life any longer; I'm tired of dealing with that, so I'm just going to leave it behind and start everything "new and fresh".
Ah yes—the best laid plans…
As exciting as a new move can be—whether literal or otherwise—when we don't consider all the "cartons" involved, we can run into our ongoing challenges. You know—the ones that still need our attention—especially on "Moving Day" (2:37)
