Beginnings and Endings

I’ve come to realise that “birth and death” or “beginnings and endings” are happening around us ALL THE TIME. 

We have one big birth where we are physically “born” into this world and the big death where we are physically not present anymore… but if we are awake to it… 

We are being “born” and we are “dying” in moments all throughout our life. 

It might be starting something new, taking a first step, swiping right, saying hello or goodbye, finishing a project, closing a chapter… it’s happening.

If we really took it all in 100% of the time it would be overwhelming. There would be too many emotions to function, to do the things we need to do to survive. Apprehension, life stopping fear, pure joy and excitement, sighs of relief, eyes forward hope, heart raising lust, hot hot anger, can’t sleep inspiration, bone crushing sadness, take your breath away grief. The list goes on…

Live in the moment if you can. I’m telling my coupled up friends to get a babysitter if you need to and have more date nights. I’m telling my single friends to get a massive crush on themselves. Try not to get lost in the busyness of life… (I was before all of this)… hold space for and celebrate each other, celebrate yourself. Tell your friends and loved ones something they don’t know about you, something about your dreams, your goals, what drives you. Share your fears. Listen to each other. Really listen. Take moments to enjoy each other, enjoy yourself, enjoy the kids. All kinds of work can take a back seat - hug your partner, hug yourself… Get lost in each others eyes and arms. Get lost in your body again. There might not be a tomorrow. 💜

Mindfulness has been on of the things which has helped me break the circuit of grief.
