Why Is Death The Only Time We Stop And Reflect?

#teachme I've taken time the last couple of days to stop and listen and allow myself to not feel pressured into having this done, or having that done and instead I've stopped!

I've allowed myself the time to stop and smell the roses, to take in the beauty of something so simple, and acknowledge the innocence of someone so special to me....

The picture was taken at my Grandmothers funeral last week, and the beautiful little lady smelling the flower is Georgia (my little sister!!!!). Such a special moment with her...

But why is it that it takes death, or sadness, or an experience that isn't ideal to take this time to reflect? Why are we not doing this all the time?

It's because we are not wired that way. We are wired to keep moving forward and if we stop, we've been conditioned to believe that we wont achieve our goals, or that we will miss an opportunity. From what I've witnessed as my truth, this is completely untrue as time and action alone isn't necessary the decider of when and how you'll create your reality, the mind is!

My advice is take time at the end of the day to reflect on what it is you're grateful for and what you need to do the following day by setting an intention of how you want the day to evolve and what reality you desire to create.

I'm not saying to take a full week of and do nothing, but if you feel the need to do that and know that it's temporary and whilst in that state you're feeling positive and listening in for insight into how you can grow yourself and/or your business, then do it!

As we move into the summer months, this is a really great time to honour and allow the space of nothingness as you worship the sun, sand and waves.... and explore nature in it's most fine form... xo
