Oh Yeah Tool Kit
As we start closing out Season 4 and reflections from the whole guide, I’d invite you to pause and take a moment to feel what you’ve taken in over the year. Treat it similarly to shifting out of a yoga practice, coming to the world gently and slowly before emerging back to daily life. Respect where you are at this point. Honour the fact that you gave yourself time to create a new way of thinking, living and connecting to your life/ career. How has that truly feds into building a better foundation for quality decision-making for your life/career?
As Anna Taylor says in her Yoga teaching book, take this closing pause to notice anything you would like to carry with you as you step off the mat or seasonal guide. Be it more steadiness, strength, peace or clarity. And notice where it plays out within the body, heart, and mind, acknowledging its ability to cultivate a sense for yourself:
“…while minds are quieter, hearts more open…we have a greater capacity to listen to intuitive insights that often arise when nervous systems are calmer.”
Similarly to Anna, see it as an invitation to consider and reflect on all of the things you have tried, liked and nourished you over the change of seasons. How can it offer you more of a sense of steadiness, a beam of light as you return to your daily life? How can your experiments with the practical tools be woven into your working life away from this guide? And in what way can you offer yourself some kindness or sense of balance that day, week, month or season as you move forward, with intent, in this new space and chapter of your life/career?
Making a decision is never straightforward, let alone a succession of decisions which can alter the course of your career.Showing up for yourself does take courage. So turning up and cultivating the space to commit to yourself and the seasonal guide was already a huge step forward, which took courage. Courage which may not have been there in Season 1, but where you were more defined by fear. And that's okay. It was all about permitting yourself to explore in the first place, knowing that you had a sense that something had to change.
So I hope that you’ve opened yourself up to a new way of thinking, to broader horizons in a way that connects back to what you value in your life and career. More free, knowing that moments of balance and nourishment can be part of everyday life and career evolution. And how you don’t have to fall into mainstream expectations of what you should be doing in life/ career. The moment you get out of that bubble, the bubble that you’ve been occupying for so long, you soon recognise how it’s all nonsense anyway. Dancing to someone else’s beat was never gonna work - and I hope that by the end of this guide, especially in the Playful Rising season, you can now see that with more clarity, trust and inner wisdom for which you have cultivated for yourself. We need that in the world, more than ever, to cut through the noise and chaos.
Know that you can always lean on Oh Yeah to anchor yourself back to balance as and when you need to. And more than anything, I do hope you’ve gone some way to find your very own Oh Yeah moment.
