Autumnal Reboot - Flying With the Feminine

By Gabriella Guglielminotti Trivel

Recently,I talked about feeling reluctant to let Summer go, but I didn't tell you that I was hoping to have a holiday, as I hadn't had a proper break this Summer.  I was longing to have a change of scenery by flying with my partner to Brittany in northern France with his motor glider and have another flying adventure as we did three years ago. Unfortunately the weather didn't play ball at all so I had to content myself with a weekend in the New Forest by car.

It wasn't the same thing that I wanted, was it? It didn't have the same appeal either, as nice as the New Forest can be .... Why am I telling you this? You might wonder ...

I am quite a private person, to talk about myself openly with all of you doesn't come always easy, just the opposite.I push myself to do it because I know that I am not different to anyone else and so by sharing my little bits that I don't like or are uncomfortable, I hope you might recognise aspects of yourself and by doing that you might expand your consciousness, even just one little millimetre is good, good enough to move you further and expand to have more freedom in your life.

To expand one's own consciousness means to be freer and feel freer which is why I do what I do, I love pushing myself so that I can push other women to reach for more in their lives. 

Back to my story; I was expecting to have a super exciting and romantic holiday with my partner before the Autumn set in, but I didn't get it. The consequence of that was that without realising I fell into the trap of living in my head rather than being in the present and in my body. A very easy and alluring trap to fall into that can take you to start feeling despondent towards everything, if you don't catch yourself in time. Let's say that in my case this faulty software ran in my hardware for a long while and so my body started feeling uncomfortable and despondent.

Have you ever been there?

I go there now and then and reasoning with myself doesn't bring many results either, I just keep going towards destination unhappiness and restlessness. When I realised that I wasn't in the right space and that I hadn't been for a while, I sat down with myself for a moment of silence and I just sat and sat.

Feeling sorry for myself,I started expressing the desire to feel free again in the open air, outside the prison I had built for myself. I said to myself: "Gabriella, life is a holiday! Why are you wasting it by being unhappy? What are you doing?" I looked outside my window and saw the beautiful trees that were starting to change colour and put on their autumnal look, the frenetic activity of squirrels that were stocking up their loot everywhere for later and realised how blessed I was.

Autumn is a colourful season that reminds us of abundance and celebration. Are you counting your blessings or are you doing what I have been doing: living in your head? Sometimes it is even difficult to realise that we are doing it. If this feels familiar, just bring yourself gently home by inviting yourself to really see what is happening outside of your inner world and take inspiration by just being in silence in nature.
