Happy Summer Solstice! The energy of this season is a time of increased light and energy, which encourages us to embrace more joy and abundance all around. Nature is in full bloom, we are too and it is a time to celebrate this growth and get out and have some fun.
This is such a fun time of year and now with a school age child I get to tap into that “summer break” energy and I am excited for our summer together. With these lovely long days we have the opportunity to spend more time outside, connecting to nature, going to the beach, playing in the yard and gardening. What lights you up? I encourage you to design your days to include some playfulness, fun and do your best to soak up the sun!
The warmth of the sun ignites our own inner fire with passion and vitality and allows us to fully engage in life and all the life teeming around us. This is an ideal time to set intentions and pursue goals and harness the energy of the sun to bring about positive change in our lives. I’ll be starting a 13 week roadmap to a business goal using the Best Self Journal, right after I wrap up my Colorado Retreat at the end of the month. I’m looking forward to creating a plan for these goals with consistent execution and measurable outcomes. These tools will ideally help guide me to my best self, keeping all my values in balance. I am excited to bring my attention to this task, in-between my scheduled fun with my daughter of course. If you have a specific goal in mind, maybe its business related, or a health goal or perhaps it’s a relationship you’d like to nurture. Well guess what what my friends, now is the time!
I LOVE that the energy of the solstice reminds us of our interconnectedness with the Earth and invites us to honor and protect the environment. As we spend more time outdoors we naturally benefit from this glorious source of power shining bright upon us. Stress levels reduce, immune systems boost, sleep improves, mood enhances, energy increases and creativity sparks! Let us see the grace and beauty in this relationship and honor this time with deep reverence.
