Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed, lost or just worn out. You’re missing that spark, that fire you had at the beginning of the year. I definitely hit that wall myself just a few months ago and ReFIREment is the process I used to help me rediscover my passion and my fire and today, others tell me how peaceful, surrendered and younger I look. And this journey begins from within.
The four steps are:
Unplug: disconnecting from external resources temporarily
Unlearn: reevaluating & challenging existing ideas, beliefs and concepts
Rest: experimenting with and understanding ways to deepen your rest
Relearn: incorporating new practices and beliefs to set you on a new path
In today's episode, we'll explore what it means to UNPLUG.
For me, I challenged myself to stop certain actions for 30 days and then to check in again to see if I wanted to reinstall any of them.
What UNPLUG looks like probably varies for all of us. I suggest starting by taking inventory of activities or actions that block your inner peace or knowing. These could be both so-called “good” or “bad” actions -- being curious and willing to reconsider these blocks will give you cues of items you’d want to consider.
And this is also a great time to check your spirit. If resistance wells up when you consider giving up a particular activity for 30 days, that’s a likely candidate for consideration. For me, anytime I push back or resist an idea, it’s usually a sign of something I need to consider releasing for a bit.
So, your assignment this week. Consider what a season of UNPLUG looks like for you. What are some actions or activities are you willing to forgo for a short period of time? Create this extra margin so you can take the next step along the ReFIREment journey: UNLEARN, which we will cover next time.
