When did we forget how to move with the seasons?
When did life get so busy, everything on repeat that we decided to ignore the change in seasons and just 'soldier on'?
Our flora and fauna live their life by the Seasons, by the change in weather, change in energy.
When did we lose the ability to flow with these changes too?
I'm realising that as a busy working parent, most of this phase of my life is structured around work, school and activities. We throw in the regular routine of chores and family commitments, alongside social catch ups, birthdays and celebrations. Life goes on. It continues as per planned schedules, regardless of how we are feeling about it all or how we are feeling in general.
Would it be possible to (instead of trudging on just like any other week, month or day) possibly slow down a little during Autumn, rest up more in Winter, encourage new energy and beginnings during Spring.... and wait for Summer to be full on with schedules and all of the extras?????
What if we adapted our routines and schedules to flow with the Seasons instead of ignored them?
I wonder if we moved back into this flow state of cycles and phases, whether our bodies would thank us. Perhaps less sickness. Maybe more presence. Definitely more awareness. As well as more capacity for the things we uniquely need, rather than merely the expectations of daily life.
I wonder....
