Introducing a pause for contemplation is helpful.

Complete this sentence as an opportunity for self-reflection:

See if you can make yourself an uncritical observer, a neutral witness, a non-judgemental friend for whatever arises.

Perhaps it feels good - walking with purpose, presence and clarity.

Perhaps it feels really difficult - facing challenges, restrictions or feeling alone.

If you are feeling negative in some way, see if you can find something that you are proud of or a step that you have reached. Invite in kind words that someone else might say to you, opening yourself up to self-compassion.

Your dream and your calling is much needed in the world. If it arises from your core self for the goodness of others or the environment, you are needed.

Keep going, keep walking, and remember to appreciate yourself.
