Here we are in that weird stretch of time between the holidays and New Year's where anything goes.
-- Pajamas at 3 pm? Sure!
-- Pizza for breakfast? Why not!
-- 16 hour Netflix marathon? Sign me up!
And yet underneath 'anything goes,' there's often this whisper of restlessness, isn't there?
That subtle pressure to be planning, achieving, becoming.
What if we could actually enjoy this 'here' without rushing to 'there'?
It can be so tough...
Our nature is to rush through now, so we can get to that elusive there - effectively skipping over here and all that it has to offer.
I feel this big time right now.
Trying to skip forward so I can achieve the things that will make me happy, satisfied, and at ease in my skin.
Only it doesn't work like that.
'There' becomes your new 'here', and you're back to square one.
This in-between is often called a liminal space; you're on the brink of something new, but not quite there yet.
One tip to help ease the challenge of being in-between?
Get comfortable with discomfort.
Practice embracing it, rather than tightening the grip of resistance to it.

Read on for 5 tips to find ease during these in-between times.
1. Journal to get some distance from (and a new perspective on) your thoughts.
2. Sit in quiet with no distractions for a few minutes each day (this has been a Game Changer for me).
3. Welcome in the discomfort with curiosity rather than pushing it away "Oh, discomfort, anger, pain, sadness, loneliness, grief, boredom is here. Isn't that interesting."
4. Check in with yourself. The more you make time for it, the more it becomes second nature to do so. Huge possibility lives here.
5. Use the Single Breath Reset: whenever you feel rushed or scattered, take one intentional deep breath. This micro-pause can shift your entire state.
Practice accepting and appreciating where you are for all it has to offer, and watch the trajectory of your life change ✨
Wishing you peace and joy - for your 'here', your 'there', and all the moments in between.
With love,
Carolyn
