The newsletter has really been leaning into this Metal Season, that is actually coming to a close....technically we are now in the transition Earth Season, but let's stick with Metal for awhile longer.
Metal is about Letting Go. We must release what no longer serves our best interest in order to continue to thrive through the deep, dark winter.
As that winter Water Season approaches, we can drown, we can freeze, or we can float. It is largely up to us.
Can you Find the Float?
Walking the Talk when it comes to self-care is often the hardest thing to do. I know I struggle with it, and I'm betting you do as well.
We focus intently on the animals in our lives, caring for them as best we can. We forget -- it is so easy to forget! -- that since we are all connected, self-neglect is the same as neglect of our pets, horses, and other family members.
Now, technically we are in the Transition Season of Earth: this is about harmonizing, grounding, nourishing, and finding balance as well as stability.
Go outside. Let the sun warm you, even if it is cloudy. Even in the rain, we can get the benefits of the sun. If it is remotely possible, walk in bare feet (or get grounding shoes, leather soles).
Heck, I went out this morning in 35F weather and walked barefoot!!
Oliver can do it, why not me?
It did NOT feel nice, and I couldn't stay long, but I felt refreshed and ready to begin my day.
