As I wondered and pondered what to write about today. I pulled "Relax- Everything's ok" from my oracle cards and the instant I did the Bob Marley song came to mind!
 "Don't worry about a thing, cause every litttle thing is going to be ok".

As we hit that mid-January slump, with the grey days outside, sometimes we loose sight of the New Year inspiration that we started out with on the 1st of January. You know that "New page" feeling that you have as a new year begins, full of hope, inspiration and good intent.

I dont know about you, but I almost want to fill that blank page with all the bursting ideas that I have at the dawning of a new year, as quickly as I possibly can . And that's the point.... capturing the dreams and ideas is exactly whats required at this point in the year, but without the rush.

     “The act of putting pen to paper encourages pause for thought, this in turn makes us think more deeply about life, which helps us regain our equilibrium.”  Norbet Platt


We're now hitting the middle of the month and that "Joie de Vie" may be waining a little. I've found myself feeling a sense of urgency to "Get on" and "Get going" in the last few days (could be due to the influence of the Sun and Mars operating as one).... But I do realise sometimes I forget to take a breath!

There's a whole year (and beyond) to bring my dreams alive, sometimes even I have to remind myself that.

I had a quick listen to Bob Marley, just the Reggae beat lifted my spirits, his music bringing the sound of sun into the room!

I guess I really just needed to hit the "Pause" button for a moment and take a breath, we can so easily set off into the year as though its a 100m sprint..... that just leads to burn out!

If I take a look outside my window, the garden is still sleeping,yes of course underground the Earth is getting ready for the season to come, but It's still resting,regenerating and  gaining its energy in readiness for the spring season.

Sometimes I have to take a look at nature to get back into rythmn, to honour my body and the cycle of things.It reminds me that now is the time for making the plans, taking the choices and tending to the resources needed. Its all about planning now... action comes later.

Whats the hurry, whats the rush, start slow and finish strong !

     “He who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead; his eyes are closed.”  Albert Einstein

Everyting happens in perfect time - always.

So If you find that the energy that you set off with at the start of 2011 is unsustainable and you'rte worrying that you're loosing momentum, just remember it's all about pacing yourself. You can't run the year as a 100m sprint, besides why would you want to?

Allow for the pause.
Nothing is spoiling.
Everything is unfolding perfectly,
Just as it should.

It is in those moments of pause the messages come, the signs and the symbols, if you're sprinting through your year, you'll simply miss them.

Allow yourself time to pause for thought, allow yourself to dream your dreams. The time for planning is now. Don't worry about a thing........

     “Let our advance worrying become advance thinking and planning”  Winston Churchill


Until next time,
Make every moment count,
