As I mentioned previously, I am at a crossroads in my life right now in regards to where to go and what to do with my life.
I have been doing the morning pages religiously every morning when I wake up and also some form of meditation as a way to connect with my true self. At times it is both exciting and scary to really listen and see myself in the morning pages.
As a result of doing these morning pages for the last 5 weeks, I have been experiencing a lot of changes externally and internally. Change for me has been both exciting and scary. I wish to stay grounded and centered in these changes. 🙂
Some of these changes have been joining a choir, playing the guitar, joining a running group and joining a writing group. I am feeling that I want to explore and express myself more creatively. I can see in my own life that I have blocked myself from using my creative talents because of various life commitments such as work, friends, family and other things.
As a part of this change, I have been feeling in my heart to move closer to the country and nearer to the sea and to move away from the busyness of the city life where I am currently living. An opportunity has arisen whereby I can rent a house in a small village in the country and I have decided to go for it and give it 6 months and see what happens. As a part of the move I have enrolled in a training course which is a significant career change for me. The training course is in the social care area. I am both excited and apprehensive about the situation as I have never lived alone before in my life.
I feel that this move is moving me towards what I want even though I am not fully clear on what that is right now 🙂
In moving to the country, I have come up with some intentions that I would like to embrace in moving there;
* To love, accept and approve of myself for where I am at.
* To be kind and gentle with myself.
* To stay open and loving.
* To trust any inner inspirations I may receive.
* To explore and develop the creative side of myself by doing the artist way every week and taking action.
* To trust the process and let go of any outcome or any expectations.
* To be present to where I am.
* To listen to my heart and trust it.
* To have fun and enjoy myself.
* To say YES to what I want.
* To stay connected to myself.
* To stay grounded and centered in whatever happens.
* To eat healthy and nutritious food.
* To be grateful for where I am right now and the opportunity it presents.
As always I would love to hear any feedback, comments or words of inspiration.
Namaste,
~ TW

TW, thank you, so much for your post.
I have been on this path, which I call path to a Simple Life, for a couple of years now. Leaving a big house and moving to this tiny loft on the beach, realizing that I was so entangled on a busy life that I forgot who I was and what ‘The original plan was’… It has helped me to keep it real and grounded, after al,l there is just so much one can accumulate on a small space, besides one needs very little on the beach. As Anne Murrow Lindenbergh so well put on her book ‘Gift from the Sea’
“One learns first of all in beach living the art of shedding, how little one can get along with, not how much. Physical shedding to begin with, which the mysteriously spreads into other fields.”
Each day is a discovery, it amazes me to see myself unveil as an onion being peeled, there are so many layers of my own being that I had forgotten. This is a wonderful, and not always easy, journey but well worth the trouble.
May the Universe give you the wisdom to recognize the people, lessons, and occurrences that comes your way, give you the courage to continue your journey and overcome any obstacles, peace in your heart to know that this is the right path, the patience to get up if you fall and the faith to know it is all worthwhile. Namaste.

Love your plan. I hope the move helps. I used to tell my daughter that moving isn’t the answer to change, it is just part of the plan. Whatever problems or challenges one may have had just move with you unless you face them and move them somewhere else as well. Sounds like that is working for you. The best of luck with your 6 months!

I moved to the countryside about 9 yrs ago and have never regretted it. Nature seems to bring out the creativity inside me more so than when I lived in the city. Funnily enough, I worked in social care as a social worker which meant I could travel with my job. Last year at the grand age of 52 I started to write full time and left my job. I would say go for it. While I am here can I ask you to do me a favour? you are following my wordpress blog and I now have my own website. Could you please follow that instead? its http://athenabrady.co.uk as I have lots of followers on that blog but not many on my website. I hope everything works out in the best way possible for you.

Very good! However, regarding “Change for me has been both exciting and scary.” a little of the first does no harm (otherwise one can get carried away) and the second is negative – eschew fear.
Keep the prow of your boat of life pointing North with your hand on the tiller lightly and let the tides and the winds take you along the most suitable path.

What an honest and heartfelt post! Thanks for sharing your courage and ideas so openly. I especially connected with the part about the feeling in your heart to move ‘nearer to the sea.’ It is a beautiful visual of moving ‘toward’ something and not running away ‘from’ something. I feel called to live near the ocean too! I will be very interested to hear about your experiences there. 🙂

Remember to always “test the truth”. Only the truth can stand testing, falsehoods crumble. Testing the truth always leads to the higher state of Trustworthiness” Remember all facts stick to principles and all principles stick to Higher laws. There are Billions of facts, hundreds of principles and less than 20 higher laws! By testing all “knowledge and inspirations” we become a much stronger unit within ourselves, able to distinguish falsehood from truth and therefore an “educated” person (as opposed to just a “learned” one). Good Luck in your journey my friend!
