Growing Out Of Our Boxes

10/4/2016

0 Comments

 
I have recently been reminded by Dr. Chuck Ribley that moving out of our box (comfort zone) only moves us into the next box. "The dance continues." It's not as if one step means "it's done"...there will be another, next step, another set of limitations, obstacles, and circumstances to navigate.

Of course this isn't "new news" to me...it just happens that I was on the tail end of some inner work that had been given different names. Instead of dancing, I was rumbling and wrestling. It was messy, not a fluid and easy participation. 

When Dr. Ribley reminded me about the Dance, my heart reconnected to honoring processes and participating with Love. I released the need to control and stopped resisting the guidance for the next steps in "my work". I have a friend who experienced the birth of her twins by dancing with her husband. While it's been 9 years since I birthed baby #5, it's still an analogy I connect to. Birth is HARD. It is painful and messy too. I remember the contractions I tried to resist with #3. I tried to back out of them, even scooted my body backwards on the bed as if I could get away from the pain. As soon as there was awareness to HOW I WAS PARTICIPATING (or how I was trying to back out of it and resisting), things shifted...I chose to move fluidly. No doubt...there was still pain, still required me MOVING and engaging, but it was dance-like.

Too often it happens for women in labor...fear slows and even pauses progress. I've let fear pause my progress with OptiMOM Coaching. Today marks a new day. I'm in a new box...I participated and danced through a challenge. There is a beautiful song singing in you, I hope you'll show up to dance. 
​

...and that we share the dance floor of life some too.
