A Will to Wild Experience!

Last week I was gifted a book for my birthday called "Will to Wild" by Shelby Stanger, and it was exactly what I needed to read and here's why!

I've been feeling a bit stuck lately and not sure which direction to move.

Have you been here before? 

I know I've been here before and it usually comes right before some grand ideas emerge!

What I do know is that when I'm here I'm needing time to retreat to remember by values, passions and desires and how I want to feel in this life.

When I stray from the feelings I desire in life, I tend to wander off course, off the trail.

And now, I'm needing to retreat and notice the trail signs, or whispers of wisdom that are all around me.

I believe that slowing down and reflecting helps you be more in flow and alignment and release the "stuck" feeling.

This is what Shelby Stanger writes in her book, when you're feeling stuck, to try and notice the trail signs along the way to put you back in flow.

There's one story that I read in the book that really resonates. It's about a woman who was skiing one day and on the chair lift she noticed the sign "Lift Restraining Device". She'd been skiing many times before and noticed this sign every time, but this time it really stuck out at her and even weeks later she couldn't get the sign out of her head, she knew this sign had a deeper meaning for her. She reflected on how she'd placed restraining devices in front of her and that she needed to lift them. She went on to choose an adventure that allowed her to lift many of her "restraining devices" she placed on herself in life...she went on a grand adventure and skied the most vertical miles that anyone has skied in the world!

Now, this story really resonated with me because my vehicle has had a warning sign pop up almost every time I drive that has a similar message. The warning sign says "Front Radar Obstruction". I can't stop thinking about what obstructions I've created and placed in front of me!

I'm going to sit with this one and complete a Conscious Living Investigation and I'll send another newsletter with the findings!
