"Worrying is carrying tomorrow's load with today's strength ...
carrying two days at once. It is moving into tomorrow ahead of time."
Corrie Ten Boom
The summer is coming to an end and beckons numerous individuals back into routine and schedule. We begin imagining our transition and inevitably, anxiety begins to creep across our skin while tension takes residence in our neck. There are actions we can take to avoid nervous jitters, and worrisome thoughts.
As an example, a young woman stepped out of her role as wife, mother and professional by heading for the woods. She climbed the park trail then advanced to the more challenging hike through the midst of trees. Twice, she spotted a pair of deer ... symbolizing gentle luring to new adventures. This inspired her to freshly return to the forthcoming changes of fall.
Nature uplifts our spirits, refreshes our thoughts, and offers quiet to hear inner callings. It is up to each individual facing an element of change, (whether the children are leaving for college or we face professional or personal adjustment) to remain in the moment by using nature as support. At least kick off our shoes to stand barefoot in the grass for restoration rather than tapping into tomorrow's stash of energy.
