Moving is A LOT!

Just so we keep it real here…MOVING IS A LOT. And transitions take you into a place of CHAOS + OVERWHELM.

And even strong and confident folx lose it sometimes.

Today, near the end of a productive day of packing in the loft I felt myself spiraling into sadness and overwhelm. I wasn’t sure why.

🌖 Too much to do?

🌗 Feeling overwhelmed by the decisions (what goes into what box)?

🌘 Fear I wouldn’t be able to find things after the move?

🌑 Sadness about the approaching ending?

I didn’t know. All I knew was I found myself unable to pack any more, standing in the bathroom bracing myself on the sink, feeling my good mood and confidence swiftly going down the drain.

The only place that felt right was bed. So I got in my jammies even though it was only about 7pm.

But you know what? Mary, my love, my partner and my emotional support human joined me there. She was still going strong with the packing…but she joined me there.

🌒 I felt myself leaving my body. So she held me.

💗 I asked her to hold me tight. She did.

🌓 I felt my heart pounding.

💗 I asked her to gently pat me from head to toe. She did.

🌔I couldn’t stay focused.

💗 She checked in with me repeatedly.

💗💗 We stayed that way for a while. Until my heart calmed down. Until my energy body reunited with my physical body.

All the while my sweetheart stayed with me body, mind and spirit.

🌕 And finally I was back.

💗💗💗 And we played Wordle. 😂 and the Mini. And Connections. And Letterboxed. Our daily ritual.

Tomorrow we soldier on. Getting close to done. Big move is Wednesday. 🚚

Almost there and so so sooooo grateful to have the best partner. 🥹
