Shifting gears...

What does it mean to shift gears?

To adjust, to meet the needs of the present, to adjust for what is coming ahead... up, or down... to go down, or up, an incline...

It means being realistic, of where you are at right now... and what you can handle.

It means assessing, and shifting accordingly... I am shifting gears now... moving into the next phase... I guess in some places, I will slow it down... because I just will not be able to handle it all... if I don’t.

I may have to get off, and walk some of it... slow it down... because I cannot handle doing it, on my bike. I cannot go as fast, use this technology... Use certain knowledge’s, wisdoms...

I have to accept, that this is different... I will have to adjust.

Working... changing your lifestyle... demands you re-evaluate, be realistic... and shift gears, shift flow, shift movement... accordingly. And humbly, and honestly.

Slow it down, make it easier to process.

Get off the bike when I just cannot do it... but at the same time... think ahead, see what is coming ahead... and shift into lower gear, in advance.

 Take care, and be strong... stand up at those moments when you need that fuller strength... brace yourself... get ready to breathe deeper... before you are in the moment.

 So staying fit, and active... practicing your whole-istic health-y-ness, as you enter into the next and ongoing chapters... of life.

Shifting gears...

The hardest thing about learning... is Practice.

The hardest thing about learning... is practicing.... Learning.. theories, ideas, concepts.... all floatey-ness.... Until it is grounded. In practice. Solidarity... non-racist/sexist/prejudice... sets of morals/ethics/value/beliefs.... compassionate, love... equal. Relationships, friendships... Community’s... It takes discipline.... focus... clarity... conscious and continuous self-reflection... Practicing what you preach. Enacting what you claim to believe/feel... theoretically... Until you are so completely able to step into IT... you are learning, and you are practicing... It is hard to practice it all... ever so completely. We have our ideals.... And then we have our true practices... how we are with family for example... yet different we always say... from our beliefs... but even if we do not share the same beliefs... we can still choose how we react. We can.... and that is discipline, and that is practice. It certainly isn’t fun to practice.... for our minds... FEAR..or sloth-ness.... laziness... because we have this aversion to things we are moving towards, like there is some sort of resistance that inevitably exists... even if it what we want... Like there is the goal... but there is a process you must go through... to be moving towards the goal. That is the enacting of what you desire, and want to happen... embodying.... practicing... And that is just hard. Learning curve i see.... not always fun-feeling... But how are you gonna get closer to what you sincerely intend, sincerely and truthfully... if you cannot PRACTICE and BE it... ya know? One love.
