What question are you living inside this season?

This mid-point in the year is a rich time to notice what question you are living inside this year that you may not have even realized. And decide if that question feels good to live inside. If it isn’t, that’s okay. You get to choose a new question to live inside whenever you are ready.

Time, as understood by a tree

How should I inhabit my time? is a question I’ve been asking lately. This particular mid-point of the year is not a high-productivity stage for me. I like being in high-productivity mode, I really do. It’s uncomfortable to not be. But when I am willing to respect my current limits, and even (gasp!) choose to do less (and not freak out about it), I am able to release the tension of deep resistance and step into more ease.

Having arrived at a bit more ease I find myself wondering, okay, so how do I inhabit this season? I love the word inhabit. To me it conjures up ideas of taking up space, and feeling spaciousness, and being really present to the sacredness of the moment I’m in. I also love that it includes “habit” as part of it. I recently heard a lecture by David Whyte (an Irish poet-philosopher whom I adore) about how healthy routines, or habits, are really rituals in disguise. I love that elevated understanding of a habit as a ritual.

I don’t have big answers to my own question, but I’m really enjoying living inside that question this season. What question do you find yourself living inside these days? I’d love to hear.

P.S. Speaking of mid-points, one thing that is really helping me feel the joy of this season is reflecting on what the first half of the year has held for me and what I want to focus on for the second half.
