Rhythms and Cycles: Connecting the Pieces of Your Life
By: Janet L. Hall

Wouldn’t you agree that we all have certain rhythms in our daily life and that we all go through many of the same stages, cycles, and ’seasons’ of life? We are continuously evolving, as is Mother Earth.

I feel the start of Spring is one of the most beautiful stages of evolving. Change is every where you look: Tress budding. Flowers and plants reappearing. Animals giving birth. Birds creating new homes. Insects emerging from their cocoons of hibernation and transformation. Fish spawning. Reptiles shedding their skins. Rocks and soil being turned over. The season is changing. Mother Earth is changing and so can you!

Spring symbolizes birth, new beginnings, and starting over. It is the revitalizing cycle of all on Mother Earth, including you. Spring can mean a new beginning for you and an end to your clutter and chaos if you take some action.

I hear your desire to change, I know you want to get out of the chaotic cycle you are in, and I know you have uncertainty as to where to start.

You know that if you could just find yourself and organize your spaces that everything else will come together. Everything in your life will start to fit – like pieces of a puzzle – the pieces of your life can become connected again, forming a picture of how you want your life to be, if you take some action, moving around the pieces until they all fit snugly together, creating beauty, calm, and joy.

What pieces of your puzzle are missing? What pieces of your puzzle are you ‘forcing’ to fit into your life? What pieces of your puzzle are continually becoming disconnected?

The pieces of your life that you are disconnected from can be physical and psychological. If you feel like you are fighting an uphill battle, could this be caused by chronic fatigue, Fibromyalgia, depression, bipolar, manic depression, OCD, ADD, overwhelm, lack of scheduling or a mountain of other problems?

Reconnecting the pieces can help you restore harmony and balance in your life.

Reconnecting with the natural world, yourself, and others can help you see things in your surroundings differently. Causing you to take action, such as spring cleaning or sorting through your piles of stuff once and for all.

Let’s look at how you can reconnect to nature so you can reconnect to yourself by becoming aware of your personal cycles and rhythms of the days, nights, and seasons?

By becoming aware of your own cycles and rhythms you can begin to work with what you are capable of doing, when you can, so you can begin to plan your days and nights.

Change the rhythms of your life by taking some time for yourself and you will find you will have more energy and focus to accomplish the things you want to do.

Go outside, by yourself. Take at least 15 minutes or more for yourself each and everyday and choose from one of the following:

• Sit outside: on the porch, under a tree, by the water. Sit, listen and observe.

• Go for a walk: around the yard, down the street, in the woods. Walk, listen, and observe.

Ask yourself: “What will it take to get me to take action, get help, and get back into my own rhythm of life?”

Listen and start taking action and I guarantee the pieces of your life will eventually start fitting together again.

I’ll be waiting to hear from you and I’m here to help in any way I can.
