...until you have it again. And then, you may decide you like it, or, you don't...
We very recently welcomed another rescue cat into our lives. We haven't had a cat for 10 months. Instantly the vibe in the house changed. I had no idea how much I was missing the presence of a family pet.
As time moves forward, and the world continues to open up and evolve, you may find that you're reconnecting with experiences, people or things you used to have. Or, you may be choosing not to revisit these things. Time and space can do that.
One thing that has recently become clear to me, is that having a gap in experiences has been useful. I think it's safe to say that we've all had some gaps in the last couple of years?
What comes to mind for you when you think of a gap? For some of you, perhaps the word space automatically comes to mind. That space may be physical as in "mind the gap" at the subway in the UK, or, it could be space in your calendar, time on the clock.
Whatever came to mind for you, different people will approach a gap differently.
There are going to be people who can't not be doing something. They're going to tend to want to fill the space that the gap creates.
Then there are going to be the people who look at the space as an opportunity. Rather than trying to fill it they may notice the potential in it. They are willing to take a pause and breathe, trusting that the space is just as necessary as the busyness. The Yin and the Yang.
Regardless of where you may find yourself right now, looking ahead, you have choices about how you want to manage your space and time. What do you want to re-acquaint yourself with, what would you rather just put behind you?
In the past, the younger version of Ann typically would race frantically to find something to fill any spaces that came up. Now? Not so much. Now? I would rather utilize the spaces that come up to recharge and think. It's kind of liberating!
What about you? Do you run to fill empty space or do you revel in the time available to you to recharge your batteries or think? There's no correct answer here, just an opportunity to notice your own habits.
What if you looked for the potential in the space?
What could be different for you?
Spring is a perfect time to reassess where you're at... Contact me One thing that's become increasingly clear to me? Going it alone is not ideal.
Stay safe and well.
Cheers,
Ann
