Have you seen my keys?
Today I got locked out of my apartment.
Years ago, this would have been a prime opportunity for me to berate myself for forgetting my keys and be overall angry at myself and the world for conspiring to keep me out of my home.
However, fortunately, because of the energetic practices that have found me over the years, I noticed that, instead, I was able to approach this would-be disaster with a bit of grace and gratitude.
The years of energetic exploration into the most tender parts of my soul have given me a perspective that—to me—is a profound gift.
In the past, forgetting my keys would have meant that my day was “ruined.” But instead, today felt like a mini-adventure. I got to:
Take a walk-in the park while I figured out what to do
Have an impromptu meet-up with a dear friend
Go to midtown Manhattan to see my partner—and pick up keys!
Get home in time to do some work before after-school pick-up
I could have easily been stressed out and annoyed the entire time doing all of the above. But instead, the time and attention I’ve invested into my healing, have given me the gift of perspective and the clarity to see that nothing is “for nothing.”
Taking the time to adventure into the tender parts of your being, through journaling, meditation, therapy, and nuanced energetic readings, can all be supportive in this shift toward existing in a more harmonious state.
Because isn’t it more fun to see life as a great adventure?
