What is your word for 2019.
Someone asked me this question. I slept on it (through the fire works which I judged with vehemence), while I considered my children's safety at their New Year parties (and worried), while I worked to ensure work animals were okay (with a stern sense of responsibility). Very serious thoughts and way of being this is. I heard that what you find yourself doing on day one of the year is a very clear indication of what you will spend your year doing. I am at work...
But my work is great. I work with animals I am surrounded by people who care as much as I do about the planet and animals. The only but on this is - will I work with a light or heavy heart.
So what is my word?
Play.
I listened to a pod cast recently by Dr Jordan Peterson. He speaks of how we fight for rights, but few take responsibility. This resonates with me because taking responsibility - means owning my story consciously. Knowing when I am judging, worrying or working, and bringing the appropriate attitude to that process.
It is the same as when I work with an animal, and the animal delivers the inappropriate action to my request - I have two choices - one: blame the animal or some other external variable, or two: look at what I can do differently to engender a more appropriate result. The first is shouting out an excuse and effectively making myself a victim to the situation. The second is where I get to play. Where I get to challenge the situation, find a solution, and move rather than stay stuck in the same old same old.
So this is the play I intend doing this year. Taking things lightly, with accountability. Seeing the potential and just having fun with the possibility. Jumping into new opportunity and most important
- having fun.
Besides surrounding myself with animals - in a manner where I choose to care for them rather than feeling beholden to be their caretakers, I will also do more creative things in my own time - that rock drumming is going great, and there is space on my wall that requires a very large painting - Yay!!! There is also a bench in my garden that overlooks the most beautiful space - I will spend more time on it with the dogs - just being grateful. And of course - spend time in the sea.
Bring on the fun times.
Happy New Year everyone
