I’ve been struggling against myself since the New Moon. Wanting to be more productive in my work, feeling like I should be creating and building. Telling myself that surely I’ve had more than enough downtime this last month, it’s time to crack that whip again.. but my fire simply will not burn.

Unable to get my head in the game, I took myself off for a walk this morning. Nature always has a way of giving you the answers you need, reflecting sage wisdom to you, reminding you of which stage your reality is currently sitting. Besides, what would be the point in aimlessly staring at my computer yet again, expecting miracles to happen.

The lake was frozen. The woods were still. The dirt solid and unmoving beneath my feet. The birds chattering but barely. It was quiet, like someone had turned the volume down on the world. Beneath the hard soil, under that glassy sheet of ice.. I could feel Mama Earth deep in her slumber.

The peace this brought me feels nothing short of a miracle. The internal mental fighting has quelled. I remind myself of the words I wrote at Winter Solstice, accepting that I’m still very much in the depths of winter, and it is okay to continue to rest. I surrender further, I let go some more. Now is not my time to push forward, the resistance I was feeling isn’t because I am “not good enough” or “too lazy”, it’s because this is just where I need to be at the moment.

So, if you’re feeling like me, and you’re not quite ready to take on the world right now. I see you, I feel you. Tune in with yourself to know if that’s your truth, and if it is - honour it. Don’t worry or beat yourself up, take this as your permission slip to simply not. We are still wintering my loves, allow yourself to be dormant, allow yourself to be still.

And if you’re all guns blazing, ready to set the world alight with your ideas and creations - amazing, honour that too. This is not one size fits all. We all ebb and flow in sync with our own internal waters, and just cause some are frozen currently, doesn’t mean there isn’t a whirlpool occurring for others. If you are alive and kicking right now, more power to you! Keep those fires blazing, whilst us others lie in wait.
