you are welcome here.
dear kindred friend,
We do ourselves a disservice if we choose to set goals and expectations outside of the context around us. And while those contexts will always impact our lives, right now, they ever more so do and we need to create the space and flexibility to adjust with them.
Ironically (or not), the reflection question for May was all about rest. While I feel like I rested well this month, I think it’s telling that I’m still trying to push beyond maybe what my body thinks it’s up for and asking for even more rest. More on this below:
How have you found rest this season? What are ways you can help yourself slow down and ‘stop to smell the May flowers?’”
How are you feeling about the goals you have set for yourself? Do you feel you are on track to accomplish them this year?
One of the rhythms I know I’m awful at balancing is the rhythm of work and rest. I can often fall into a trap that I don’t deserve rest until I’ve worked enough, but as I’ll share more later, this just doesn’t work. I need rest to remind me I’m not superwoman and to be restored for a new week ahead. For myself, this rhythm of rest is called Sabbath. It is a spiritual discipline I am hoping to incorporate into 2020 and one I hope to encourage you to try as well, whether you call it Sabbath or something less spiritual.
Regardless of where we’re at with our goals, we know that at some point the goals we’ve written and the headway we’ve made will start to plateau and maybe even drop. To see goals and dreams come to fruition for the entire year takes us being intentional, and sometimes doing that on your own is pretty hard.
So we’ve decided to dedicate the month of February to practicing being intentional.
Reflections
At the end of every month we write a reflection blog post that correlates with the reflection questions in the Kindred Planner.
Consider this your invitation to reflect along with us, coffee (or tea) in one hand and Kindred Planner (or journal) in the other.
