Ooo yess I feel all of this very much!! Still trying to figure out a sharing schedule when writing and I feel like I am flakey, but at the same time I know I am creating and see progress in other ways, definitely living in that wobble for the last few months! It’s all a process! 🤍
Thank you lovely for your comment, we are definitely not alone in these wobbly phases. And I also think we need to give ourselves permission to try things out and change them when needed. We won't ever know what suits us best if we don't explore these things will we? xx
I so resonate with your chat about cadence and experimenting and honouring impulses, I've explored this recently too. I'm generally so supported by structure and yet sometimes it feels a little stifling, this past week though I've felt the lack of structure with travel and jet lag have me craving it hard! But my Projector voice backs me up, reminding me there has been absolutely nothing I could do but rest and accept! Beautiful to read how you're further claiming all the things that are in your heart x
Ahhh I am so glad it resonated - I have to find the right level of structure - I need it for sure - but then sometimes it stops feeling right and I have to throw it all out and start again. It feels quite freeing - although a little bit uncertain right now, but I am just going with that. I love you are listening to that Projector insight - such wisdom there in the rest. Thank you for your comment. xxx
I already felt you were a kindred spirit but after reading this I relate SO much to everything you say here—the fear, the doing all the work behind the scenes but really wanting to be in front of the room, the blogging for decades. Of course our kids are similar ages too so we’re in that same space of motherhood. Only difference is I’m a projector 🙂 it’s so fun connecting with you! And if course I love all your suggestions for working with the wobbles. I always have to remind myself to stick with it!
Thank you so much for reading and sharing this resonance, it’s so beautiful to feel like it’s not just me that experiences these moments. I seem to find myself surrounded by amazing Projector energy so I clearly need the insight and ‘seer’ nature of you wonderful souls. Xxx
Lauren, just a little cheerleading coming your way. 😇 I say you go toward that expanded momentum you are feeling. I say it should feel freeing and like you are going with the “flow.” After all, I think that’s what following our intuition is really like, flow. And if you keep following your heart, then it will be your art that shines through. I love how you put it, “heART.” Keep shining and letting yourself flow with it. 😇🫶🏻
Thank you so much for this Lauren. I’ve been having a right old wobble lately, there has been a lot of pushing out of my comfort zone in the last 12 months and it’s almost as if my body went NOPE. I’ve had to do a bit of a retreat inwards but by no means a bad thing. It makes me happy to know I’m not the only one. Thank you for your thoughts and reassurance ❤️ xx
Definitely not the only one - I am having so many conversations with others going through similar, I think it is reflective of the emergence in the seasons and finding that upward current of energy pulling us forward and yet also needing to be gentle in the process. I have found so many times in my life that I have burst forth too quickly and then end up frazzled... so I am doing my best to learn from my previous lessons and take this gently, while also staying true to my visions. I think the piece that so many times gets forgotten is the integration after a period of expansion. We need to pause and absorb what has just gone on in order to let it fully land in our body and then make the next steps. I am sure your retreat inwards is preparing you beautifully for the next part of the cycle. Thank you so much for reading and commenting. xx
You took the words right out of my mouth...well really my heart. Oh how I worry if I do not show up on a specific day, I will become lazy and never write or post again. The wobbles are so real right now in trying to figure out how to take up space with work (dreaming of supporting mothers to go deeper) and moving out of the home we brought our son home too. I feel like the whole ground is shaking, thank you for the reminder to soothe because there are parts that do feel unsafe. Welcoming your words on whatever day they come!
Thank you so much lovely one - I am so glad I am speaking to your heart with this. I too have that worry and I also feel like this is a good chance to lean into deeper trust in myself and prove to myself that 'I am safe to show up imperfectly'... always unravelling the layers of control and perfection within. I SEE YOU in your beautiful work supporting Mothers to go deeper - I can already see how you are doing it so wonderfully. Just remember the baby steps, the soothing, the subtle 'work' you are doing simply by being present to your dreams. I think having a strong foundation of home (for some) can really make a difference to feeling safe enough to make bigger steps in their heart work. I always talk to clients about noticing what their own unique needs are in order to feel safe and stable because that can really de-stabilize creativity if those needs aren't met. Love these conversations, so grateful for your comment. xxx
I second the surprise on a Tuesday evening! Loved seeing you pop up on my notifications and I relate regarding the schedule. I like to post once a week and for the first since starting I haven't, simply because it didn't feel right, so thank you for sharing on this.
I feel you in the wobbles and it really is because it means so much! I had a wobble this week already about a new class on Monday. Imposter syndrome but I felt deeply that stepping back from it wasn't an option, so I just voiced my fears and carried on. I use mantras a lot to carry me through ❤️ thank you as always Lauren. Can't wait for my human design reading
Ahhh yay to the Tuesday evening surprise - who knows when I will pop up again in your notifications!! LOL! I truly see and witness you in stepping forwards deeper into the discomfort of your wobble. It takes courage and I love that you have used mantras to soothe your way through it. What has been your favourite mantra to use? I cannot wait to share your HD either! xx
Thank you for this and I love the surprise of your writing on a Tuesday evening! It feels great to me that you are honouring a new sort of flow. I did the writing once a week on no particular day for a while and it worked well for me. Since having regular-ish time slots for writing I have gravitated to a certain day but I hear you on the (self-imposed) pressure it can create. I also love that you feel at an exciting moment of stepping into your heart work, you are a gift and your work, your holding and your heart is so needed. I am feeling similar feelings of emergence and am grateful for your tips for managing the inevitable wobbles xx
I am so glad that it was a lovely surprise. I will continue to surprise you for the next few weeks at least and see when the urge rises up. That is interesting to know you have tried both ways, I think some element of structure is important to me but it was starting to feel a little restrictive - so let's see what happens next. AND I am so grateful for your support as I step into new iterations of my heart work - of course with HS being a key part of this too. I am so excited for your emergence, I can't wait to see your heART work shining even more. xxx
I'm also a stout believer in rhythms, to the point where I can experience such unease in changing something that used to work very well, very seamlessly. Thank you for writing this and reminding us, as mothers, writers, and creators, that we have the option of being lost, slowing down, finding what works in our current season. Just lovely.
I am so glad that you found this piece to be supportive Krissy, I really do believe that rhythms can be so supportive too - and having an element of 'holding' through structure is soothing. But of course there is also that allowing for adjustment and being able to tolerate that too. There are so many seasons in life/motherhood/business/creativitity... and I do think wobbling is part of it. Thank you so much for reading and commenting. xx
Love the conversation in these thoughtful comments. I can relate to so much of what you’ve shared here, and the responses, too.
I used to think a wobble signified a wrong turning, but I recognise now that it often means I’m doing something I deeply care about. Sometimes it’s a warning sign and I’m learning to distinguish those feelings.
Absolutely love that Sarah, and really relate. I used to see a wobble as a warning signal but now I am more curious and less reactive to it. Sometimes of course it does signify a path that is not aligned with me, but often it just highlights a part of me that needs some extra nurturance, or signals that I am moving too quickly!!
Thank you for highlighting that sentence. So grateful for your comment. xxx
