Why I Like Being Me in the Kind Rebirth World

It took me a long time to figure out who I am. I spent the better part of my 20s and 30s trying to iron it out. I am finally just now finding it, but I am cautious and not cocky about it. Life is deceptive. So we cannot rest on our laurels. That was a quick disclaimer, but what I really want to say is that once we finally have that idea and we are finally comfortable in that space, there is a certain kind of freedom that comes with it. It may not be the version that the world may expect. It may not be the version that can or even tries to keep up with the trends. It is just that version that is accepting because it feels honest. The Kind Rebirth space grew from this place for me. It is not and was not ever a performance. It is just a simple recognition that life can become more meaningful when we slow down without trying to rush to our next life event.

I like being me in this world because I don’t feel the pressure to be seen in or as the loudest voice in a room. Kind Rebirths doesn’t seek to convince people to do or act a certain way. Likewise, it’s not about fixing a life. I mean for it to focus on witnessing moments in our lives that already exist and now we can give language to these things that people feel without shame, regret, or fear. The small shifts in life create the most satisfying results when we stop to practice mindful awareness. For instance, in my life, conversations with people land just a little different; the feelings I get from my favorite songs or new songs I hear teach me emotion even when I cannot verbalize it; and when I am pausing long enough to gather the silence, I am able to understand myself a little more than I did a few moments before.

I want to reiterate this: a Kind Rebirth in this world gives me the permission to slow down and observe mindfully and with awareness. It’s no secret that life is filled with fast cars, supply and demand, and running on autopilot. With that attention is a necessity and it by itself is meaningful. Think about it, when we stop to notice something, I mean really to take notice and try to understand its place within the context of our world, that is its own kind of transformation. Rebirthing isn’t a dramatic invention. It is you and I remembering who we were before we let the noise in and allowing it to convince us that the world is something else.

Being who I am in this space invites curiosity instead of the dead end of uncertainty. I no longer have to pretend to know everything or even have all the answers. I can just let the questions come and use the things within me and around me like my relationships, my music, or my mindfulness to unearth meaning and find resolution. A quiet time for reflection doesn’t demand perfection.

All of this said, I hope I am successful in letting you and the rest of the world know that in this space, Kind Rebirths is not about becoming something else. It is our ability to return to ourselves. In that process there are powerful things happening. Mainly, life becomes more of the experience than the chase. I love that this is the world that I can rest in despite the chaos that surrounds us. The Kind Rebirths space is a place where intention and attention matters, presence matters, and when we start to notice with clarity, this is a path to our own kind of rebirth.

Stay Mindful….
