Ups and Downs: The Natural Rhythm of Life

You know when things have been going well – you are in that sweet spot and things are just flowing. You feel great. Clients and customers are coming your way, products are selling you are feeling on top of the world. And then you wake up one morning and something just feels off. You are not sure what it is, but keep noticing that you don’t feel right. You start to notice other things aren’t going so well. What is happening? Only a few days ago you were on top of the world.

The law of rhythm shows us that everything is moving, flowing in and out, swinging backward and forward, up and down. It shows us that there is always a reaction to every action. The tide goes out, the tide goes in; night always follows the day. There are good times and bad times. This law governs the movement of the planets in their orbit and is also expressed in the mineral and vegetable kingdoms. It can be observed in the rising and setting of the sun and moon, ebb and flow of the tides, and the coming and going of the seasons. You know that winter never follows spring. Spring always comes after winter.

When you are on a down swing, do not feel bad. Know the swing will change and things will get better. There are good times coming—think of them. It is very much like a pendulum swinging one way and then back the next.

One of the hardest things to do… is REST. This was something I was never really good at. I couldn’t even take five minutes out for myself without justifying how “busy” I was. It used to feel really uncomfortable to put myself first. Thankfully I have learnt how do to...

Is there ever a “right time”?

Is there ever a “right time”?

People often tell themselves  that they are  too busy, too early, too late, or I’ll start "when the time is right." But what if time isn't the problem? Nature doesn't hesitate. A tree knows when to let go of its leaves and when to grow new ones. It doesn't overthink...
