Happy March! We have entered the month of Lent, the month of spring, and, for you basketball fans out there, the month of March Madness! So many new beginnings.
In the last couple of weeks, I have been thinking a lot about my previous post on honoring our energies. What does your energy look like? What does my energy look like? How do we honor and harness that energy?
Learning to honor myself has not always been easy, and I am not always very good at it… I find myself wallowing or stirring in my emotions, retreating from the world and my responsibilities… let’s just say I have watched a lot of Brooklyn Nine-Nine recently.
In hopes of improving my ability to maintain equilibrium, I have begun working on ways to lean into my energy and better honor my body, my mind, and my soul. Recently, I have delved into the world of the enneagram and have discovered that I am a type 4 with a self-preservation instinct. If you are familiar with the enneagram, you may have a sense of what that means, and if you are not, I will write a post regarding the enneagram soon. In sum, fours have a deep sense of not belonging and being different than the people around them, and they yearn to be authentic and express themselves or find their uniqueness. Fours are normally called “romantics,” “individualists,” or “intense creatives.” There are some links and book recommendations below if you are interested in learning more about the enneagram for yourself.
Through this process of self-discovery and growth, I have begun thinking about and creating goals and projects that ignite my passions, fuel my energy, and allow my creative juices the space and time to move through my body. Therefore, I am creating my own “March Madness” and plan to post a blog daily through the month of March about things that I am thinking about, working through, or simply want to discuss. This is a space to bring your authentic self and know you’re not alone in this walk we call life. I would love feedback and open dialogue. Here is to new beginnings!
