I like any reason to
celebrate and this is a celebration time! According to the Lunar
Calendar, the Moon Festival is this Saturday September 15th, this is
like the the Fall Equinox in the Asian culture. It is a time to Harvest
your summer crops and feast.
Last year I had a
conversation with a friend where we spoke metaphorically about the
concept of feast or famine which changed my mindset. This may resonate
with you and help you shift for a more abundant HARVEST for years and
beyond!
Have you ever thought that
your life is either "feast or famine?" For me, I've said this plenty of
times, more so when it comes to dating! I'll go through a drought and
then date a few and then there will be a drought again. In health, I'll
go through times of lots of exercise, eating clean and cleansing
regularly. Then I totally blow it with little or no exercise, loading
up on carbs and sugars. In business, August/Sept has always been a
slower time in business. Does this pattern sound like you?
Does it make you a little
neurotic and anxious like it does for me? My friend told me she wanted
me to stop believing in the thought of feast or famine because it is a
sub-conscious sabotage, even if I'm joking about it! In this belief, it
puts me in a survival mode. In feasting times I know it will be over
soon so I better eat what I can. In famine times I'm scavenging for what
I can, praying for miracles, and ultimately not believing I have the
skills to grow healthy and abundant crop to last me.
What if you
could HARVEST all year long? Every season has it's crop(s). At the
beginning, identify what those crops are. Right now is the time to plant
the seeds of intention while you are picking your HARVEST. Look at who
showed up in your life at the beginning of summer that you really
connected with. Every person that enters your life is for a reason,
season, or lifetime. Seek to see how you can grow from each other.
Seeds need time and consistent watering to grow. In your harvest, what
should you cook now, what can be stored away for a few days or weeks,
and what should you can/preserve for later? Your life is an abundant
greenhouse and you can harvest all year! I wish you an abundant HARVEST
and Happy Moon Festival!
