Too much… snow?! A chance to reconnect.

I love winter… I really do! However, when it’s the beginning of April, Easter just flew by and spring should have been here for a few weeks already, I tend to get slightly unhappy with the weather outside my window.

I mean, I really, really, really love what snow does to the world – painting it white, adding a sparkle to everything, even the grayest, dullest of things and places, making the world seem even more magical. But when I’m dreaming of sun, green grass and running in the warmth of spring mornings… Then, well, snow gets in the way a bit

I had tons of hope for this weekend, but my hope wasn’t enough it seems. Every day I got up, I was greeted by few more inches of snow, one night brought with itself over 10 of those, making walking in the morning quite challenging for someone wearing sports shoes! At least it wasn’t too cold. Then I remembered.

It’s been a while since I was able to enjoy winter no matter the season, so I actually let myself do just that one day. And to my surprise, it felt wonderful!

Running in the snow, looking at the lake in my home town covered with this amazing, pure stuff, laughing like crazy and hugging trees… Amazing way to reconnect to my inner peace and my inner child. It was a wonderful experience and it didn’t matter that my shoes were soaking wet afterwards or that I might get a cold in a day or two I allowed myself to enjoy the time, the weather, the surroundings. It was something I needed a lot and even wasn’t aware I did.

It made me feel alive a bit more, a bit more joyous and a bit more free!

Awesome feeling! So now I don’t care too much about weather right now – until I forget how much fun winter and snow can be
Why am I sharing all this with you? Because I’d love you to ask yourself the following question:

What is the thing you could do right now to make your life more amazing and joyous or to reconnect with your inner guidance, peace and yourself, but you don’t allow it to happen for whatever reason?

And then, when you know the answer – just do it! Let yourself do it, enjoy it and do it as best as you can, so that your day, your life and your feelings get a boost of all the positive energy that often comes from such experiences! Maybe you want a walk in the park, a hot cup of chocolate, something less healthy than usual on your plate that you really truly want to taste. Whatever it is, bring the experience of it into your day as soon as possible without looking for excuses, all the serious, grown-up reasons why you ‘shouldn’t’ or what others might say or think about you in that second. Laugh out loud! Enjoy it!
And if you want to – share what it was and how it made you feel below!

PS. The images are from Monday morning, when we were getting on the train back home – the upper one is of a sidewalk, where there were not too many footsteps present, as it was slightly past 5a.m. The one on the right below is of rails just in front of our train – untouched, asking me to take a photo and then laugh a lot, because I haven’t seen such amounts of snow for a while
