Dot-to-dot

There has been a common theme this week with clients – feelings of total stagnation, of frustratingly biding time, of playing the waiting game – impatiently, making things worse by focussing on the uncertainty of what they are waiting for, seeking clarity but not knowing where to start, which is of course what led them to kinesiology.

While this has been a theme this week, I think a lot of people can relate to having felt this way over the past 8 months. People have said that 2012 is going to take those (who allow it) to their darkest depths. It’s going to pull and tug at heart strings and gut strength.

But how do we stop the needing to know? To stop wanting results – NOW! It’s one thing to be a goal setter, to have your sights set on the future but to be told you need to relinquish control and enjoy the waiting game is so much easier said than done…. how foreign this is to those who like keeping a firm grip! Of course, we understand that by creating space it allows the universe to surprise us with something even bigger and better – but how does one wait gracefully and graciously?

Of the clients I saw this week, what they took away from their session was interestingly the same – the shift would happen by acknowledging and giving thanks for the abundant good in their life right now. All of it. To focus on all the little things. To go back to basics and not wait or insist on only the big things to bring them joy.

I think, if we can learn to do this more often, then the stagnation doesn’t feel like stagnation anymore. Instead we are reminded that EVERYTHING makes up the big picture. It’s like all the little things are the tiny pixelated dots and without them there would be no picture.

You know those times when things are soooo good and you look back, back over the dots that have joined to get you there and you think, wow how could I have ever doubted that dot, or that one?

I invite you to take yourself above the dot you are currently at and see the dots that have led you to this exact moment – and to give thanks. How exciting it is to wonder (not plan) for the next dot.

What small thing that you often look over can you give thanks for right now? Take note for without it your bigger picture wouldn’t quite look the same.
