86: The Present Moment & Being a Beginner

Today's episode is a little bit more philosophical in nature, and it has been naturally unfolding over the last few days. I allowed myself to rest instead of forcing myself to be creative on my Thursday off and it allowed me to receive some valuable insights for this part of my journey as I transition into my artist role.

You know when you hear something many times and it just takes one specific time for it to click? I think about time and how we only have the present moment pretty often. I've heard it a number of different ways. But, hearing it described as us being still in the present and time moving through us really resonated. 

I was gifted a visual of time and our perception of life being like a slide projector or a movie at a theater. Awareness and trust are at the center of our experience of this life. The more we trust the story to unfold the way it is meant to, the more it plays like a continuous film instead of slowly clicking through each frame. 

Part of what causes us to pause for far too long is the fear of starting something new as a beginner. We get used to the respect and level of expertise we have in our comfort zone, but our soul longs for us to stretch into something bigger. We aren't supposed to be good at things when we start and there is magic to bringing our unique imprint to each new endeavor.

This was one of my favourite episodes to record, so I would love to hear your thoughts! Also, ratings on Spotify and Apple would really help people to find me and join us on this journey.
