In recent months, I’ve been struck with this overwhelming feeling that I’m just floating through my days. Other than my job, nothing is holding me down. I have nothing that anchors me to my life. I could literally quit my job tomorrow and move across the world if I wanted to. To some, this would be a thrilling experience, to be completely free and not tided down. But for me, I feel unbalanced and without an anchor.
I told this to a friend a couple of weeks ago and she offered up some really good insight that I’ve been mulling over ever since. She told me that it would be impossible to grow and redefine yourself with restrictions. That this time, this empty and unknowable space that I feel like I’m just fumbling through, is actually a space for defining a new me and creating a new beginning. That with an anchor in tow, that crucial part of creation would not be possible.
I really like that idea and I stuck it in my back pocket for reference when I’m feeling down. What about you? Have you ever had that, floating through life feeling?

It’s a lovely thought yet perhaps with that thought in your back pocket all of the daily, humdrum segments of your existence no longer have to be so much of a chore because you can return to that seed from time to time & replenish yourself. As your certainly doing as you write words on your blog.
I love it.

Thanks, Slworkshops!
I think I’ve pulled out that nuget of insight at least 100x in the past few weeks. It’s a damn good one!
Hope your holidays are both relaxing and wonderful!
