How do you recenter and recalibrate?

I couldn’t center myself after hours of writing. When I get into a creative flow, sometimes I go somewhere else.

But today it wasn’t that sort of floaty feeling. It was something different that I couldn’t quite identify.

Rather than a release or a whoosh of inspiration, I felt jumpy and off kilter. Strange. And it rocked me. I needed my salve—Nature.

So I parked my car before starting my walk. Turned off the engine. And stayed put. I realized that what I’d written stirred my psyche.

Then I thought, I can’t be alone in this feeling of unrest. This is what inspired today’s SOUL STORY.

It has taken me much of my life to sit with my feelings. To lean into the discomfort rather than veer away from it. To honor the whispers (sometimes shouts!) from within my heart.
