Long ago, in my youth, my friends and I had a special time each year when we would go camping together to relax, enjoy friendship and nature. We called it “Juneteenth. We could rely on that time of year to bring us closer together. It was in the teens (13-19) of the month of June. We made sure to bring all our camping gear, games, and sports equipment for fun. All the activities were centered around togetherness and nature. With things still clearing up around Covid, some of us haven’t gotten back to our annual trips and activities that once brought us so much joy.
Do you have a tradition that has stopped since 2020? Do you have a new tradition that started because of our new circumstances? More people are getting out in nature than ever, while others are more isolated than ever. It may be time to switch things up. What’s important is to get out of your norm for different endeavors. Get out of that daily routine and take a break!
When we change up our activities, we change up our energy. These energetic shifts can help us grow and become greater than we once were. If you add different ingredients, results vary. When you change the chemistry, you change the outcomes. Make a tradition of that shakes things up!
Traditions aren’t just for the holidays, create a novel tradition this summer by: choosing a new summer travel destination, volunteering somewhere you haven’t before, tracking the stars, or making Friday nights a dance party in your home. Create connections to people or events that you haven’t previously. Start those fresh traditions to shake up and move energy. It’s good to let go of the past and move forward.
I will admit that I no longer attend the old “Juneteenth” that I used to, but I have a more recent version with family friends. Life comes in seasons, don’t let yourself repeat outmoded patterns that no longer serve you. Grow a little, morph into that butterfly that is just one adjustment away! And maybe, start your own “Juneteenth!”
