I&#8217;d love to know. There&#8217;s been so much going on in the world, so many disruptions. To me, it almost feels like we&#8217;re running a race with no finish line. I&#8217;m wondering how it feels to you.<\/p><p>For me, well, it&#8217;s been &#8230; weird. I had a big \u201cWhat now?\u201d moment back in May. And not in a good way.<\/p><p>I think I had reached my limit in so many ways \u2013 the pandemic, the strife, the way things that matter to me never seem to change (climate, animal cruelty, women\u2019s rights, etc.)<\/p><p>The noise of the world got to be too much. Too many people, on social media, telling me what to care about and how to go about it. I think I simply powered down, not able to take in anything new.<\/p><p>Can you relate to this? Have you felt anything similar?<\/p><p>For two months, I fell into a neutral zone. I\u2019d never felt neutral before. It still surprises me that I can feel new feelings after 60 years on the planet. I didn\u2019t feel depressed, or peaceful, or sad. Mostly I felt neither here nor there.<\/p><p>Normally, something like this would throw me into a panic about money and income, but even that didn\u2019t happen. From my neutral zone, I observed the strangeness, but could think of nothing to do or say about it.<\/p><p>I had no deep thoughts, no inspiration, no regrets, no false starts, no fear. I kept looking for my anxiety, but even the dial on that had been turned to neutral. For the first time in many, many years, I didn\u2019t feel excited to start my day with a book from my self-help library. I continued with some appointments, cancelled others. Strange times, indeed.<\/p><p>I spent time helping with my elderly parents. Nature gave me solace, so I spent as much time outside as I could. I hung out with my horse friends. As well, I dove into Astrology and some other things I\u2019d left behind in my life \u2013 like photography and crafting. I started to organize and get rid of the \u201cstuff\u201d that clutters my basement, my attic, and my life.<\/p><p>Often, I would think I need to get back to work. But, I couldn\u2019t find the path back, or any path at all.<\/p><p>Finally, in mid-July, I started to feel unexpected pings of inspiration. I felt like me as I sat on my favorite rock overlooking the river I love. I found my flow, at sunrise, as I photographed the bridges of Madison County in Iowa. Pressing my nose into a horse\u2019s neck, I inhaled the smell I love most of all. My husband and I had had a big fight during all this, but we found our way back and I once again felt deeply home in his arms.<\/p><p>Slowly, the neutrality faded, and I started to feel again. That\u2019s an oversimplification. I definitely had some dark nights of the soul moments on my way back. But, I have emerged from my cocoon, finding myself recharged. It\u2019s like I went deep, found what I\u2019d been missing, and emerged the same, yet somehow different. More me.<\/p><p>With that, I have a refreshed website, and some new ways of doing business that are more aligned with my quiet, sensitive nature. I don\u2019t mean to brush over all that, but I wanted to say that I\u2019m back. Or, I\u2019m still here, and I have some new things brewing that I\u2019m hoping will be helpful to you if you find yourself in the neutral zone or a shift of your own.<\/p><p>What\u2019s next for me is working and living in a way that\u2019s more aligned with me, even though the world is not co-operating and being what I\u2019d like it to be.<\/p><p>What about you? How have you been feeling lately? What\u2019s next for you?a<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-3dfc9385 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"3dfc9385\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-2e14ab5\" data-id=\"2e14ab5\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-72d945fd elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"72d945fd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karenharbin.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/calm-2.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail wp-image-4730\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karenharbin.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/calm-2.png?w=2560&amp;ssl=1 2560w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karenharbin.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/calm-2.png?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karenharbin.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/calm-2.png?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karenharbin.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/calm-2.png?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karenharbin.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/calm-2.png?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karenharbin.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/calm-2.png?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karenharbin.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/calm-2.png?resize=2048%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/karenharbin.com\/coaching\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/calm-2.png?w=2400&amp;ssl=1 2400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1c7f7d86 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"1c7f7d86\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-30989be3\" data-id=\"30989be3\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1abbc130 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"1abbc130\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What&#8217;s next?
