While trying to process the world we live in right now, I’ve been taking such an intentional look at my own world. Both internally and what I surround myself with closely each day. My work, my family, my friends, the community I’m in, my hobbies… The thoughts in my head have ranged from How I can do more to help? Where am I supposed to be putting my energy? Is this what I want my life to look like?
One thing that I’ve noticed are these unshakable, subtle nudges.
I’ve had many repetitive ones lately and it’s about time I stop and give them some love and attention.
One of the biggest nudges for me is to sign off Instagram for a bit. I go days here and there off of it, but truly setting an intentional break… to go LIVE and soak up summer. To remember how these moments with my kids that are growing up before my eyes, FEEL rather than look, is what I’m craving. Every minute I’m not having to work, I just want such intentional time with my family (and solo time, too). I’m also simply curious. What does life look like now when you remove this app that keeps everyone so connected?
Here is the thing, my business revolves around social media. I make the excuse often that I can’t sign off because it is my business. But the truth is when you really want something and know you should be doing something, you make it happen.
The other nudge for me is a move. Both Tyson and I have felt this for the past few years, but WHERE, is the big question mark. We have family, friends, a business and so many great things keeping us here in Oregon. It’s such an incredible place. But once again, it is that nudge… I can’t shake it, even when I want to.
Have you been feeling some of those unshakable nudges? What are they?
While I will be signing off for a little bit (I truly have no firm idea on how long), I will try to post here more often. I miss writing.
Sending you so much love, wherever you might be and to whatever you might be walking through.
