Returning to What Matters
From The Shoreline with Kim Kogane · 21:16
Show by Kim Kogane
After being sick for a couple of weeks, I'm returning to the Shoreline with a renewed sense of clarity. Being forced to stop gave me time to notice old patterns, sit with my thoughts, and reconnect with the practices and ideas that have supported me through other seasons of transformation. In this episode, I reflect on the balance between being a human navigating the ordinary parts of life and being a soul having a much larger experience. I share how The Power of Now and The Four Agreements have helped me return to the present moment, loosen my grip on the past and future, and remember how little we can truly control beyond our own actions and perspective. I also share how meditation, body scans, journaling, time outside, and intentionally releasing stored emotions have helped me reconnect with myself. Sometimes leaning into discomfort instead of trying to escape it allows us to move through it with more compassion and less attachment to the stories our minds create. Coming out of this pause, I'm feeling clearer about how I want to spend my time and energy. I want to focus on relationships, projects, creativity, and experiences that genuinely matter to me, while letting go of the maybes, obligations, and old patterns that no longer deserve so much space. The Four Agreements The Power of Now Kim Kogane is a writer and intuitive guide helping you navigate the tender in-between seasons of life. She lives in Seattle, Washington, with her dog Cauchy and three cats. Learn more about Kim. Newsletter Work with Kim Instagram YouTube –– ✦
