Completing 2015. Reaching for 2016.

It’s that time. The calendar changes offering us a period of reflection, exploring who we want to be in the next year. Being able to explore and reach are key indicators of earning secure, solid ground inside ourselves. For those people with difficult histories, lives, it’s important to actively cultivate the body-heart-mind’s impulse to reach.

To do that we need to be familiar with – and anticipate – the turbulence that arises whenever we step outside our comfort zone.  [This key component of turbulence is part of the Essential Becoming Safely Embodied skills.

I’m doing the same sorting out last year, sitting in the inquiry of 2016. I’ve put together some of my questions to cultivate an inquiry and establish some intentions. Join me in the process….and add your own questions, inquiry, contemplation……

What did I do or who did I be in 2015 that I feel good about?

What would I have liked to do differently?

Given a safe, compassionate environment mistakes can arise as wisdom instead of things to beat ourselves up for. What “mistakes” have the seeds of learning, or wisdom embedded in them?

What is calling to me?

Who do I want to be?   What about when I’m confronted with difficult life experiences….. who do I want to be then?

What will help me keep a steady course?  Do I know what kinds of turbulence I’ll encounter?

What are your intentions for 2016?  What are you ready to let go of from 2015?  What wisdom has come from mistakes and the like in your life?  send me an email or write a note below — and thanks.
