Hello Ladies, Gents, Friends and Visitors of Hive.
This week’s (deep) reflection is on how we equip ourselves with knowledge and coping skills in a world that keeps changing, and here’s my truth: I don’t.
I do not wake up prepared.
I wake up willing.
And then I build what I need with what I have.
How can I describe this?
Have you ever had mornings where it feels like the world moved the furniture in the dark. You reach for what used to be familiar, and your hand meets air.
And somehow, you are expected to keep walking as if nothing changed.
So this year I stopped chasing certainty.
I am learning to build steadiness.
When it comes to knowledge, I (try to) keep it simple.
I read things twice.
Once for context.
And again to understand.
I ask small, honest questions. Not to sound clever. To stay true.
I write notes like I am leaving bread crumbs for the version of me that might feel lost later. It is not that I do not trust my memory, but when I am tired, I trust the page.
And I focus on the next true thing I need to learn.
Not everything. Just the next step that brings me back to agency.
When it comes to coping, I return to what is faithful.
Sometimes it is a walk that brings me back into my body.
A quiet moment before I let the world speak to me.
A notebook where I tell the truth.
A short list of what I can control, and the grace to release what I cannot.
I keep close to both the elders and the young.
The elders give perspective. The young give courage. Between them, I remember that reinvention is not failure.
It is life.
And if you are in a season of transition, I want to leave you with this:
You do not have to keep up with the whole world.
You only have to stay close to yourself while you learn your way through it.
I would love to hear from you: What is one small practice that brings you back to yourself?
Diary and pencil close to hand to remember certain things, old faithful!
Standing under the stars before packing in every night to sleep mulling over life, cosmos in search of answers. We definitely can never have all the answers, best to stay strong to your own guiding hand most days.
