Hello beautiful Steemians!
Some of you have probably noticed that I basically disappeared from the internet a few months ago, after fading out for quite some time. Those of you who frequent the many festivals and conferences of the freedom movement (in the broadest sense) may have also noticed that I slowed WAAAYYY down last year, and skipped almost every event this year.
After this good bit of hibernation & incubation, relaxing & retracting, I can feel myself unfurling and the draw to step back out into the world is strong. This weekend I had the pleasure of speaking at the Freedom Rising Convergence, an intimate, uplifting, lovely event at the Lost Valley Education Center. It felt so good to be back around people, coming together to learn & share, connect & grow.
Coming out of the weekend, after this time I've spent starting to build structure & habit for myself, grounding in and tending to my body & mind as my main priorities, I feel so ready to GO in a hundred different directions. I'm breathing my way through that as well, taking note of the ideas & visions that come in, starting to share some of them with the folks who they call to mind, and watching to see what feels most exciting, most needed in my own life.
A challenge that has been brought right to the forefront with this new burst of energy has been a long-running pattern of "ghosting" people pretty regularly. Sometimes simply by getting lost in the moment and forgetting I had just gotten a message, and remembering weeks later, and sometimes by have a moment of dread? overwhelm? and not being able to reply to someone... The feedback loop of course being that the longer it's been since I didn't get back to someone, the harder it feels to do so, and when I scroll down to find that last text message from ______, and see 6 more that I never responded too, I'll often end up feeling too overwhelmed to reach out the person I was initially aiming for.
Healing & reprogramming this area of myself is my new focus point, moving into through the autumn towards winter, taking this journey inward. Any experience or resources you may have in this area of the human experience and trauma work, I am very open to receiving. Right now I'm feeling like a goal of reaching out to 1 person each day (and not ghosting any new times) is a great way to start, so that's where I'm at right now.
