New Moon

New moons are a powerful time to set an intention. And yes, it's the full moon. One of the wonderful ways in which technology has made me more aware of the natural world (rather than less) is through having a 'current moon phase' gadget on my igoogle page. I always know where the moon is at and i find myself looking for her and admiring her more than i used to. Of course, what i really need is a 'go and enjoy the sunshine' gadget that helps me to not while away some time in front of a screen and go and while away some time in the sun instead.

Anyway, that said, i've been conducting an interesting experiment with myself that i spoke a little about in my first post that i'm hoping to find a little more committment to through using the newness of the moon-ness.

I've been asking myself, whenever i've felt stuck, or down, or held back, 'what would i do in this situation if i really beleived in myself?'

And something has really shifted for me, i can't entirely say what it is, but there's a renewed strength to my sense of self, to my confidence. It all makes sense really, i guess i'm just a little surprised it's been so easy to find results with such a simple practice. So my intention, now that my little experiment seems to be meeting with some success, is to set my new moon intention: to drop my self doubts, to continue my deepening awareness, and to believe in myself - and act as if i believe in myself.
