Spring Propels Us Forward to Be Our Best Selves

Spring is in the air! I just love it when the days are warmer, birdsong is in the air, and early flower growths sprout in the garden. Freshness and renewal come to mind. Like most natural rhythms, as seasons transition, I find myself reflecting on what has transpired and what may yet come.  And in this process of reflection and contemplation, I remind myself to be grounded in the here and now – to be fully present. In this space, I can find the joy and peacefulness of simply experiencing where I am at and what I am doing today. These mild months of spring provide great reminders that we are evolving yet perpetual, we are 'becoming' yet rooted, we are beginners yet have the fullness of evolution within our souls.

How do you experience the emergence of new life as Spring unfolds? Do you revisit intentions you may have set back in January that may have fallen to the wayside? Do you explore new hobbies and interests? Do you give thanks and express gratitude for living another season on this amazing planet?

No doubt, I am still wrapping up in warm fleece blankets and enjoying a cup of warm tea, but I also feel a lift to my step and a tickle in the recesses of my thoughts that only clear morning air filled with the sounds of nature emerging from a winter slumber can conjure. I take this freshness and renewed spirit into every life domain, seeking out opportunity for growth and expansion of self-awareness. Spring is about new beginnings.

When cheery tulips and crocus greet us, and the birds sing merrily, how can we not be encouraged to live our best self and lift others up in the process?! I hope this Spring brings rays of sunshine to your world, not just from that celestial orb in the sky, but also from the people you encounter and the situations you find yourself navigating.  Life is complex, let us seek out the best in ourselves and others. Let us grow and deepen our appreciation for all that is within and around us. And with Spring's arrival…a promise of new beginnings blossom each day.
