The longer I am in this lifetime; and see different sides of the experience I am having in different roles that I am living.
Mom, wife, chiro, daughter, sister, community member, biz person, mentor, coach, the more you realize life really is shaped by our perspective on ourselves and the roles we step into. (and how tightly we hang on to them). (and the limitations we place about what those roles mean.)
I have noticed in all the shifts that came from after my mom passed. The exhale that came with that aspect of my life changing. My mom no longer suffering, our family no longer running up to the nursing homes, hospitals etc how things also could start an inhale again in new ways. It was both an immediate release (exhale) but also unexpected changes that have now come in the inhale.
Change. We were all different. Our roles now changed. Who I was as a sister changed. Who I am in almost all my roles have changed because I have changed. YOU CAN ALWAYS CHANGE in your roles. In fact you are required to.
I am down here in Miami helping out my brother and SIL with their new baby, a role my mother would have likely done. Inhale. Exhale. There is change and expansion that would have been gridlocked if none of us would have re-evaluated that we always have CHOICE in how we choose to see our roles and how we think about them and the action we take. Sometimes the hardships that happen in life do birth beautiful change that first starts inside of you, and then shapes how you do your outer world!
Guess what :-) I am back to writing after 2 years of a break! That feels good!
