Surrender

Full moon 27 November 2023, full moon in Gemini

A topic that has been dominant in my personal life recently, as well as something I have noticed in my friend’s circle and for my clients as a current theme, is the beautiful (and sometimes scary) ability to surrender.

Surrender as a word has a somewhat negative connotation to it, described in the dictionary: “ to cease resistance to an opponent and submit to their authority”, but I feel like there is more to it than that.

Surrender in my opinion on a personal development level is about accepting what is and hereby gaining a sense of power, it can be the opposite to submitting your authority when applied at the right time.

Sometimes we try to will our mind into change and progress, or we are beating ourselves up for what mistakes we might have made in the past and fighting what is now as a result from it, when really the recognition that a fight will not result in any solution, that the here and now is OK, might be the only answer and the right energy that will eventually lead to the push through in those last barriers and into the new.

With the looooooong school holidays just around the corner, I feel it is a timely reminder for me personally to accept and love what is, I am going to embrace the chaos, the full on energy of my children and little time for myself as by doing so I will be able to enjoy what is, rather than fight for what cannot be at this time right now.

What can you accept and maybe even love for what it is right now?
