You may have noticed that this newsletter is now called POMELO instead of Food for Thought. I wasn’t totally feeling the old name so I decided to change stuff up a bit, I’m still on the fence about its final everything but, closer!
This week’s post is kind of short but long at the same time, this is me letting go and sharing a thought/feeling I’ve been having for some time, maybe by sharing it, it will resonate with someone else and help them a bit too.
I just watched this video and think that I’ve found the key to open up the door that I hadn’t been able to get through up until now.
I’ve been feeling great about almost everything in my life, my personal projects and ideas have been flowing so easily and freely; my relationships with family, my boyfriend and friends have been active and healthy but there’s been a type of block regarding myself and my inner thoughts. I’ve been feeling more illness type symptoms and feeling as if I was getting more lost than ever before even though I’ve been doing so much inner work and so much growth. This of course is extremely frustrating because on the one hand, you’re working so hard on yourself and all of your energy is on becoming a better version of yourself but then on the other, you actually feel physically worse.
So as you can imagine I was constantly thinking about this block and about what I’m doing wrong, who to turn to, what was I missing? Then, the term “self-cocooning” has appeared and bingo! This term basically means that you wrap yourself up in a little cocoon -metaphorically speaking- and you isolate yourself and take care of yourself while everything else in the worlds goes on as usual and you kind of disconnect and focus on your own inner world. Even though my social life and my own life have been flowing and all has been easy, inside my little cocoon I’ve been having so many daily questions, so many thoughts and almost analysing everything I feel, think, say and do.
People have been saying for a while that we would be transitioning into the age of Aquarius and things would be a whole lot different. We would change, grow, ascend… and who knows if this has something to do with this whole growth stage in my life. I'm really not that knowledgeable regarding astrology, but in my social circles it is true that I’ve seen so many people I know grow and completely change this past year into new people. They’ve taken new paths, moved city or home, got a new partner, changed careers or studies, taken up new activities, broken away from old habits and old friends… maybe we’re all cocooning in one way or another.
I really have no idea if the culprit is astrology, our generation and mentality, the changes after going through a pandemic and lockdown, winter arriving after a strange summer… I really don’t know. I don’t think we actually need to find a reason for it or a way of justifying it, but rather acknowledge that something is happening and if you find yourself currently making a cocoon to climb into, in the middle of hibernation or feel as if you’re starting to break your little pod and re-entering the world, know that you’re not alone and that there’s a lot of us who are currently slightly blinded by this weird brain fog. Take your time, indulge in this self love and don’t worry or rush the process. Everyone’s pace is different and we’ll all become butterflies sooner or later.
