This week’s article: How is Your Crossroads?
This has been an intense time. I saw an explanation from astro-numerologist Tania Gabrielle (here) that goes into the why’s of it. It gives ballast to the experiences I am having and seeing around me. It’s a time of crossroads. Endings and beginnings. Things spinning off, often suddenly – people, jobs, etc., and new things appearing.
So how is your crossroads? How easily are you flowing with change? Are you allowing the things that are ending to go their way without resisting? Grief is called for in times of loss, but trying to keep from experiencing the loss is a battle that cannot be won. Holding on for dear life to that which is going out the door will only get you bruised, metaphorically speaking.
Are you making space for the new? This doesn’t just mean adding something on, it means letting go of something else to make space for the new.
I have to be honest – I have been trying to stem the tide of change. Mostly this looks like me standing still, not letting go of the old, not turning my attention to the new, feeling frozen and utterly ineffective. Okay, so sometimes it looks more like me running faster and faster in my gerbil wheel trying to hold that which is breaking apart together, so that I will somehow earn permission to put my attention on something more self-serving.
School of Service, anyone? That’s classic “student path” behavior – can you say “martyrdom?” But it is also my School of Love showing – trying to earn permission from others to make the choices I want to make. So how can I turn it around? I need to follow the 2 rules for School of Service: 1) make requests, 2) have fun. And, School of Love, I need to figure out what it is I am feeling, underneath the overwhelm, so I can express it “for reals.” I think I could probably use a good cry, and I need to face up to the fact that no one but me thinks I am a better person for trying to carry more than my share. Anyway, that frantic “do-gooder” in me is just trying to ease the terror that change brings. If I make someone else feel better, I might, too.
How about just putting on lots of warm clothes and stepping out into the howling winds of change? Keep breathing, feeling, connecting to the divine, and taking wise action. Who knows… maybe I’ll end up in Oz!
Coach’s Challenge: Write down at least one thing that is ending or changing in your life right now. What’s one thing you can do to let it go with more grace? What’s coming in that’s new? What needs to go to make room for it? Leave a comment, share your journey!
