Creating Recovery

The Big Picture: wide-angle or closeup, form or detail, everything or nothing at all–what must I see in this picture?

Big question. Perhaps best answered by tacking on a couple more:

What do you see from where you are standing? Where does your eye want to go?

These are not trick questions. There is no one correct answer. We must figure out for ourselves what is most important to us.

Take a deep breath and relax. You don’t have to figure it all out today! Try this two-part exercise:

1. Turn your thoughts to your personal surroundings. What do you see? The people and things within your reach say something about what is important to you.
2. Ask yourself if it feels as though something is missing. If so, can you identify what that is? This says something about where you want to go.

One of the most helpful expressions to remember during major transformations is “Keep It Simple Sunshine”.

It is good to have some idea of where you’d like to be, and to make plans. Just remember not to focus exclusively on the horizon. Don’t miss out on the vibrancy and color that is immediately in front of you. All will be revealed, in good time.

I am seeking my truths and painting my pictures, but above all, I’m making the most of this day.
