Belief in soulmates keeps people out of our lives who we don’t believe are our soulmate

It’s nice to think that there are people out there who are meant to be in our lives, but bogging down our mind with the belief that we have a soulmate waiting for us, and that we haven’t found them yet, or that we found them and we are about to lose them, is not healthy. It detracts from who we are, what we are capable of, and what we do on a daily basis.

Moreover, it keeps people out of our lives who we don’t believe are our soulmates. We push them aside as we focus on the people that ‘really matter’, and that causes us to lose out on some relationships that can benefit our lives in an amazing way.

Letting go of the need to prove anything requires a huge amount of trust

And Trust is not something you have or give once you have all the data to prove you are right, it is something you do without any certainty which is why it is often hard.

It is hard to find other parents with similar parental philosophies or interests

When you make your friendship all about the kids, you can quickly figure out whether this mama has similar or far different parenting styles than you. In a perfect world she would have a similar philosophy OR you could both live side-by-side being best friends with opposing parenting styles. BUT, this is unlikely. We are human and it is human nature to judge whether we like it or not. Even if we try our very best, we are most likely going to judge our mama friends on ways they handle their children at some point or another. This can be a big turn off for strengthening a relationship.

The same goes for interests… Maybe your idea of a perfect get away would be to get out and drink some wine at a nice restaurant but this mama you met at the park wants to go out clubbing. Definitely different ideas of what would be a fun night away from the kids.

When I think about connection to nature, my instinct is to stop thinking about it and go outside

Keywords: Connection, Nature

To engage with nature from a more intellectual, classroom setting, feels counterintuitive, but I believe there is much to be learned. The reading has made me reflect on my own experience, as well as gain insight from others.

When I think about connection to nature, my instinct is to stop thinking about it and go outside. All the real living I’ve done, has been outside. I’ve been lucky enough to have spent many days in the wilderness, where I didn’t think about my connection to nature until I returned to my modern house, with electricity and running water and thick walls and furniture. To engage with nature from a more intellectual, classroom setting, feels counterintuitive, but I believe there is much to be learned. The reading has made me reflect on my own experience, as well as gain insight from others.
