I came upon this sign on one of my regular dog walks recently. It really struck a chord!

Sometimes in life we are clearly moving and growing. Things are happening, there’s a plan and regular progress, we’re on track.

We’re in motion.

Sometimes we’re regrouping. Taking some time to reflect on, and integrate, what’s been. Pausing to let what we have sown grow. Taking stock and working out what’s next.

We’re still.

Often it can feel that one is more important than the other, especially when being busy is seen as a good thing.

And yet, we need a balance of both.

If we always stay in action we miss the learning.

If we always stay in learning we forget to move forward.

Dancing between them creates a continuous cycle that helps us grow, change, evolve.

What phase are you in right now?

And is it time to pause to deepen your learning, or move to forward the action?

Wishing you all a week of being in the space that you need right now,
