Travelling to New Places
Do you miss travel too?
I inherited my mother's gypsy soul. Travel and adventure are two of my core values and I look forward to a time when I can immerse myself in it again.
In my 20's, discovering and exploring new landscapes, cultures, cuisines, languages and ways of being was a way for me to make sense of my world and my place in it. It lifted me up and outside of myself and called me to live a bigger and more expansive life. I was never really that interested in spending money on tangible possessions. Experiences were the thing I happily spent my cash on.
Now in my 40's, my love of travel is as strong as ever although having 3 children has made it logistically more interesting. Of course, a worldwide pandemic doesn't help either. But truthfully, I have found myself taking a journey of a different kind. Whereas my 20s were all about outward exploration, my 40s have become all about inward exploration.
I am discovering who I really was before the world told me who I should be. I am forming ideas of who I want to be and what I want to do in my remaining time here on earth. I am finding all sorts of limiting beliefs and conditioning that no longer serve me and I am leaving them behind. There's no space for them in my suitcase now. I am travelling light and I find the lighter I travel, the faster I go.
Curiously, the more I explore my inner landscape, the more I find my outer landscape changing. My life seems to be re-sorting itself into a new arrangement, and one that I love infinitely more than my old life. It seems like the inner work is the thing to do when you want to change what your life looks and feels like on the outside.
Having a life coach is like having a tour guide on your inward journey. It can sometimes feel tricky to navigate this new terrain and know which way to turn next. Or perhaps you know the thousands of places you want to go but you're feeling overwhelmed and not sure which place to go first? With love and wisdom, I can support you in navigating your way.
I wonder about the incredible journey you might find yourself on if you were to use this time for travelling inward. The pandemic will end one day and travel will be on the cards again. How might you use this time to discover and shape who you want to be and what you want to do with this one wild and precious life of yours?
