A-ha Moments
This week or so has brought about a number of 'a-ha' moments I had and connecting the dots. That wonky feeling I'd been sitting with is blowing over and bursts of connection and inspiration are coming through. I'm still working through how this translates into action, but I'm more able to tap into this mindset and feel super excited about things to come in the world of Firefly Scout.
I can't wait to share it with you, as I figure it out myself, lol!
This week I’m also enjoying some time together with the family and living life more. And I encourage you to do the same.
“Fill your life with experiences, not things. Have stories to tell, not stuff to show.”
We are taking a few days away, spending time by the lake and enjoying new experiences and revisiting favorites. It's been good for all of us, to be beyond our small radius we've been living within for the last 15 months, a bubble of sorts, and get away from the everyday, eat out for every meal, enjoy the sand between my toes and sleep in a bed that's not mine.
I know that getting away may feel impossible but take time this weekend to go explore someplace new. I know that been a mantra for the last year, but there has to be somewhere you’ve thought about going, a park, a store, a lake, a restaurant somewhere that will give you a bit of a reset.
In some ways it’s more about the intention behind the trip than the actual destination. The mindset of how we approach the day. Seeing something with fresh eyes. So even if the holiday weekend doesn't mean a vacation for you, use these prompts as a starting point-
resist the impulse to pick up your phone
jump into the family shenanigans
encourage more talking and memory making
start a new holiday or family tradition
let your mind have space to wander and spark your curiosity
Get out there and make some memories this weekend. Plan out when you can take a moment or 12 for yourself. You've got big things brewing and magic to do! (I couldn't resist throwing in the obscure Gilmore Girls reference) Relax and let it simmer in the background and get ready for the glitter.
Tell me what you are up to this holiday weekend. I'd love to hear how if you have a holiday tradition! Leave a comment send me an email at hello (at) fireflyscout (dot) com
