I settle in with myself and ask, “Do you know where you’re headed?”
“Yes.”
“What’s your next step?”
I peruse the checklist.
Have I taken care of my human self? Am I hydrated? Oxygenated? Have I meditated? Is my space clean and decluttered? Do my clothes celebrate my fullest expression?
Once affirmed, I methodically venture deeper.
How am I relating to others? With jealousy, competitiveness, communion, radical responsibility?
How about my emotions? Are they delighting, ignoring, raging, indulging?
And my spirit: Are birds timing their songs to my heartbeat?
There is no rush – just the next step.
