In episode 19, I talk with you about how we’ve really lost sight of the boundaries we all used to once hold and have gotten away from. Is this why we are so overwhelmed and stressed and full of anxiety? Is it because we’re going against the natural rhythm of the days and seasons. What happened to waking up with the birds to get stuff done and then to naturally start to slow down in the later afternoon followed by dinner with the family, wind down and early bed. Instead we are giving up family dinners, hustling into the wee hours and burning the candle at both ends. With the seasons, we are hustling and pushing through every single month. We are naturally supposed to have a cycle of growth (summer), harvest (fall), death (winter) and rebirth (spring). We aren’t allowing ourselves to shed what no longer serves us. We’re not taking the time to nourish our soil to prepare for winter so we can grow an even more fruitful garden in the spring and summer. Instead we are trying to grow all year long. Is it greed? Is it competition? Can we reclaim some of these boundaries for ourselves? 

My challenge for you is to really take some inventory in how your functioning in a day, a week and a year. Are you resting on Sundays? Are you slowing down in the evenings no matter what is left on the to do list? Start to reclaim some of what you deserve and what will undoubtedly serve you better.
