Checking In 🥰

Do you have a practice of checking in with yourself?

How often do you pause & reflect on your how you’re growing? On what you want to grow in your life?

Do you ever do these things? Do you do them regularly?

I’ve always felt like the key to being the most powerful, aligned version of myself included these 2 things: creating a practice of checking in with my deepest self & a routine of connecting with the Divine.

I have also always firmly believed this doesn’t have to be complicated. That you can create a practice that feels right & true for you.

To me, it makes so much sense to connect my personal growth work & my spiritual practice with the ebb & flow of the seasons. It actually feels like a cheat.

How things grow in the natural world is, of course, affected by the seasons. You & I are also a part of nature. It makes sense to me that how we grow – how things grow in our lives – is also affected by the seasons. This gives me a guide to consider what to look at & reflect on in my own life.

The changing seasons, and the new & full moons throughout each season, have become these guideposts for me – these moments throughout the season when I check in with myself, I ask myself these kind of insightful questions & set intentions for myself.

I also use these seasonal & moon cycle moments as powerful times to send a simple prayer out to the Universe, to ask the Divine to help fuel my intentions & protect the seeds I am planting. I’ll also ask the magic of whatever season we’re in to come into my life & do whatever work it’s doing in nature.

Connecting with the seasons in this way gives you a simple calendar you can follow. You don’t have to remember to check in with yourself, it doesn’t have to be another ‘To Do’ on your dreaded list. Just, whenever the seasons change, make a really simple plan to check in with yourself & say a simple prayer to the Divine.In spring I ask myself questions about what is growing in my life? Where do I feel like I’m being guided to grow? What seeds do I want to plant? How can I nurture those seeds & ensure they grow to harvesting?What about sending simple prayers out into the Universe✨ asking for help growing the things you want to grow?
