STRETCH
What a simple but powerful word.
When I was thinking of my word of the year back in November this word immediately popped up.
It really hit me. I resisted first a few minutes. Like I always do when a word of the year comes to me, but then I went with it.
I love the meaning behind it:
be made or be capable of being made longer or wider without tearing or breaking.
What a definition. Being made more without breaking. Not pushing yourself so much as to cause damage.
Sometimes I wonder, since I talk about simple living and slow living, if people assume that's always about resting and not growing and being stagnant.
We even talk about stretching before & after a workout as if it is not a stand alone event.
Yet the subtle act of stretching - your body or your mind or your work- perfectly aligns with slow, simple living.
It's a way of growth that helps you step out of your comfort zone while still allowing your true self to shine.
