Patterns In Nature. Patterns in Life.

Change can be difficult especially when it happens unexpectedly. Fear and uncertainty are emotions that I’ve experienced with change. It can happen in big moments such as moving or changing jobs. It can also happen in smaller, unexpected moments such as having a friend cancel a date or forgetting to wash your favorite shirt. You have to be able to adapt to these changes of uncertainty and not let your mind create thoughts of worry, anxiety and fear.

We can connect to nature and see that patterns of change are an integral part of life. For example take a look at the natural patterns of a tree during the seasons of Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter.

Spring.

A time for growth and life. Spring is representative of birth and new beginnings. It is a playful time where everything is new. It is important to approach life with curiosity and embrace new opportunities, experiment, and learn. Too often we find focus on the negative aspects of something new and worry about outcomes that are uncertain.

Summer.

A time for beauty and abundance. Summer is a season when the days are long and full and nights are short and alive. It is a time to set goals based on what you’ve learned and live your life through those experiences.

Fall.

A time for reflection and gratitude. Fall is a season of colorful spaces and distant horizons. It is a time to check in with yourself and evaluate your life. A time to embrace your relationships and develop new ones.

Winter.

Is a time to slow down, rest, reflect and rejuvenate. It is a time to overcome our struggle and show our resolve. This is a great time to look within and prepare for the next phase of our life. Spring is right around the corner!

Embrace the changes in your life. Everything in the present moment will eventually pass. So enjoy where you are now, allow the future to happen and let the past be the past!

Note: Any language that many directly relate to someone else’s is not intentional. This was written in my own words, however some of these ideas are universal and have come from my learning and experiences through different resources.
