ADAPTING– the purity and beauty found in the ability to adjust and adapt. The grace found in resilience and the elasticity to respond vs. react, to give when it’s time to give, and to pull back when it’s time to retreat. The space between the rigidness and resistance to find the reflective space that responds in the moment for the best of everyone.
The gift of adapting comes from the ability to adjust, feel the difference, and allow the process of addition or subtraction.
Be malleable!
Adapting mentally in our environment, relationships, and internally, allows us to adjust externally while extracting the gift in the present process and letting go of the unnecessary, while holding on to the sacred.
Adapting physically is the ability to make subtle shifts in the body to yield the maximal result. Just an inch; a micro inch of a shift or a “switch on/switch off” of our muscle activation can make a mile of a difference. Understanding our unique body’s needs and learning how to adapt in relationship to honoring or challenging those spaces yields the most success, not only in the moment but in the memory stored.
Repeated movement creates memory in the body.
Memories stored in the muscles become the health and functioning of our mind, body and spirit.
Adapting emotionally may be the biggest health hack we need to move forward out of the chaos of the clutter. Clutter is an emotional energy drain! Whether it’s the clutter of the material matter, mind-matter or emotional matter stored, all clutter crashes the calm we seek in our mind, body and spirit harmony.
So how do we adapt? The ability to adapt comes from the ability to EXTRACT! Extract what you can learn from and let go of what you can not. In nature it’s survival of the fittest, in humans it’s the same… the fittest for those who surpass the survive to the “thrive”.
Let go of things that hold on to us. Emotions or memories that we hold onto that no longer serve, physically holding on to muscle groups that are jammed, contracted and compacted where they do not belong, or mentally holding on to people and relationships that are draining and dragging us down rather than elevating and adding to our greater evolution of self. Just as in the animal kingdom when a process or a feature no longer serves for the future betterment, it is time to extract it and “X it out” from its continued connection and creation.
