OK, so I managed to get a post out for Day 1, and that in and of itself was newness, and then there has been nothing since! Why? Because I have actually been getting lost in the newness and everything that has brought up...and my God has it brought up more than anticipated!! See the thing is, in setting the challenge for newness each day, as with most of these self challenges, I hadn't anticipated the energetic insights and understanding that would arise, in all honesty it has started to take me down a bit of a rabbit hole. I will share more on this but here is a catch up of the Newness:
Day 2 (7.6.22) - So I arrived for my first day at carry on Camping - the newness here was being in a new place I have never been to - Hope Valley in The Peak District
Day 3 (8.6.22)- So much newness - I met new people, I put myself forward to teach a yoga class when the original teacher didn't turn up - and bonus - everyone loved it! I tried some plant medicines which could be a whole Blog in itself, and then I spent a significant amount of time talking to a stranger getting to know them better.
Day 4 (9.6.22) - I went wild swimming in a new river with new people, and met this amazing new woman who gave me so many ideas for how to live life, also I tried a little bit of music production and some self-defense. Interestingly here I was wobbling, thinking 'oh my God I am going to look like a right idiot' and it took some guy to persuade me, but so glad he did as I loved it!
Day 5 (10.6.22) - Today I tried some flowery herbal tobacco, this was mainly because I used to smoke but didn't wan to smoke normal tobacco, so thought I'd try this. Then again another day spent talking to new people. Had a massage today by a new person at the festival and it was the most wonderful experience, with so much insight.
Day 6 (11.6.22) - Today I was a bit poorly after a few late nights at the festival, and probably all the newness, so I just did a new yoga class online. I have generally stuck to the same people's videos and actually - how bloody boring!
Day 7 (12.6.22) - Today I joined a Fabeook live with the wonderful Jane Jackson to find out how may of my Soul Aspects were exuding.
Day 8 (13.6.22) - Today I tried a new meditation
Day 9 - (14.6.22) - I read a new Chapter of Journey of the Soul - I was still feeling a bit run down so easy in the Newness this week, and also I realise it isn't realistic to do huge new things all of the time, but a new book, a new mediation, a new yoga class, a new recipe, they are all ways to bring new things in, however small :)
Day 10 (15.6.22) - Today I received a new crystal from a beautiful friend. It was so stunning that it took my breath away on opening and made me cry!
Day 11 (16.6.22) Today I did a new yin yoga practice with online providers who I have never used before, it so interesting how we get so accustomed to familiarity!
Day 12 (17.6.22) I watched a new You Tube video with Zach Bush - just WOW! and I juice fasted for Day 2 - this is newness for me as I have not juice fasted before, fasting always makes me a bit panicky so exploring this tentatively
Day 13 (18.6.22) - Today I went wild swimming in a beautiful new place with a new friend, Basford village near Cheadleton, and I also climbed over a barbed wire fence in a dress to get there - pretty sure I have never done that before! Also juice fasting Day 3!
Day 14 (19.6.22) - Tongiht I went to do yoga by a local lake at Trentham Gardens. I would never usually have done this but maybe I am getting braver from all of this. I spent two hours and was joined by so many incredible nature aspects, and I had a wonderful meditation at the end.
Day 15 (20.6.22) - Today I read a new Chapter of my book
Day 16 (21.6.22) - Today was super self care day, so myself and a fabulous friend went to have a massage with a woman who neither of us have ever been to before and we had a style of massage we have never had (lymphatic drainage), then we had lunch in Willow which was just beautiful - another place that had been on my 'to visit' list for a while. I could get used to this!
Day 17 (22.6.22) - Another new book Chapter - newness is helping me get through books quicker it seems!
Day 18 (23.6.22) - I visited a new charity shop with Mum today and bought myself some new jewellery, not that I've never done this before, but certainty not for a while. Also there came massive synchronicity newness; in summary I had a dress some years ago that I cut, because I thought it would look better shorter, turns out I actually kinda ruined it. I was having a little internal debate today abut whether or not things work out for me, and I affirmed to myself that 'things are always working out for me' and lone behold - what did I see on the next rail. A version of the skirt I had cut, in it's original length and in my size...I spent the evening in absolute amazement, the message from my team was clear to me :)
Day 19 (24.6.22) - Today, my aim was to go and do the 3 shires walk in the Peaks, I think I did half but thanks to torrential rain, I couldn't read the instructions on my phone and took a wrong turning. I realized today how wobbly I can become still when I think I might be lost. This was definitely an indicator to me that I need to push myself ore in this area for my own growth! I also saw a mole for the first time ever today - mainly because my dog caught it and tried to eat it (I have a killer Pointer it seems) but still, something I've never experienced before! I also took myself today to new depths of vulnerability and my God did it feel uncomfortable!
Day 20 (25.6.22) I read a new chapter of the current book I am reading
Day 21 (26.6.22) Today we started the running of a new club at work, something new and giving some variety - this feels good!
So this is the run down of the days missed. I have so much learning to share to but I will leave it here for now. How are you finding newness in every day?
