I’ve been quiet lately—quiet in my relationships, quiet on social media, and quiet in life overall.
This quietness has been a deliberate choice.
In the stillness, I’ve been becoming more in ways that matter deeply to me.
It’s like the surge forward that follows stepping back—a retreat that creates space for new awareness to emerge from within.
These moments of awareness reveal old misperceptions I couldn’t see before. They don’t diminish the clarity I’ve already gained; instead, they build upon it. The personal truths I’ve integrated over time allow me to perceive these deeper insights.
Creating this space is how what I truly intend emerges from within me.
I’ve noticed that these “surges forward” often follow moments of conflict or chaos. What seems unsettling at first becomes an invitation to retreat, reflect, and move forward—free from the interference caused by misperceptions.
I’ve learned to embrace these darker moments, knowing they serve as catalysts. They help me release what no longer serves me, clearing the way for more of what I value and desire.
When I let go of these old misperceptions, I imagine myself standing above the treeline, surrounded by open sky, water, and air. This expansive space carries away the weight of past misperceptions, leaving me unencumbered and free.
It feels like receiving a spark—a fire igniting within me—fueling my forward momentum.
I’ve experienced this before: the discomfort of growth, the clarity that follows releasing misperceptions, and the reassurance that I am still on track. Each step prepares me for the next.
When you feel chaos or conflict, I encourage you to bless yourself with a retreat—a gift of space to receive the insights that matter most to you right now. These moments of awareness will lead to your own surge forward. Breathe into any temporary discomfort, and recognize it as part of your process of becoming.
As you release the misperceptions that have interfered with your intentions, you’ll activate a shift in perception, unlock your next steps, and move directly into alignment with what you truly intend.
And so it is.
