During the summer I'm eager to experience life and completely immerse myself in relationships and everything that is happening in that moment. It's fantastic really. But summer only lasts for so long, as does my "live in this moment and don't worry about anything" mentality.
Don't get me wrong, I like to try and live my life in the present moment all of the time. But summer is for no schedules, late nights, bon fires and beer, not for worrying about the future, taking care of your spirit and rejuvenating your soul.
Then fall hits.
As the last remnants of summer slipped away a few weeks ago, I took a step back to evaluate where I am in my life; I came to the conclusion that I am completely out of balance.
I have not meditated once this summer.
I haven't thought about cultivating any sort of spirituality in the last 6 months.
I haven't cleaned out my space at all since spring cleaning. (If you know me, you know that I don't keep things around for memory sake, I toss anything that I don't need or that I don't find beautiful.)
It's clearly time to re-center.
The fact that it's the first day of October is a happy coincidence.
The next 31 days of my life will be dedicated to putting myself back on a path of inner acceptance and tranquility, because I fully believe that the chaos that I'm experiencing in my life is a direct result of not taking care of my spirit and letting my ego take over for the last 6 months.
I like to think that I'm starting the month off on the right foot by visiting the Dancing Crane with my sister and one of my very closest friends today. In case you've never been to the Crane, GO! It's my go to stop to stock up on everything soul enriching, spirit awakening, or third eye opening.
October is going to be awesome.
