This month, we celebrate Mother’s Day, a celebration acknowledging our ability to birth and nurture. As we celebrate this acknowledgement, we have an opportunity to consider what we may birth should we acknowledge that we each have the ability to bring something into the world through our talents, gifts and strengths. Moreover, this ability is not relegated to the ability to physically birth life. Rather, we are all positioned to birth a new season, mindset, opportunity, or change.
We all possess the ability to birth spiritually, financially, emotionally and mentally. These abilities are not contingent on gender, age or mating. Should we decide, we can birth throughout our lives, with varying gestational periods. We can have multiple births and deliveries. We have an opportunity to birth something new each day.
We are only limited by our imagination.
However, there are some ways in which our birthing will be like a physical pregnancy.
We should be prepared to eat right and rest if we are to sustain our efforts. We must create space in our lives to cultivate the things we hope to raise. Like a nursery, we must make space for the activities that will be required to fully realize our results.
We must know that as our vision, new practice, mindset or investments grow, we will experience periods of discomfort. Like Braxton Hicks contractions, we may encounter false labor or fear things are happening too soon. In both of these instances, our work is to remember what will be gained and our birthing plan.
Like a physical pregnancy, we will swell in expected ways and unexpected ways. We will grow as our vision, mindset, practice or investment grows.
There will be times when we wonder if we physically have the capacity to continue growing and carrying what we hope to birth. This is a sign that we are getting closer to realizing what we desire.
As we come closer to realizing our new season, chapter, mindset, or innovation, we will begin to crown. We will begin to see what we are birthing come to fruition. It is important to note that this might feel painful.
Our work during this time is to bear down and push. If we do not, it could die, we could die, or it may be the death of both the thing we were to give to the world and who we were to become.
This is the time to lean on the midwives, doulas and significant others in your life.
Hopefully you have surrounded yourself with people you can trust, who will hold your hand, and tell you to breath—breath as you deliver your dreams!
In support of this glorious ability, the ability birth, I ask you to consider what you might birth if you renewed your focus, set intention, and continued the work of delivering your dreams!
Happy birthing season!
