The Power of Small Shifts

Reflections to Help Your Light Grow Steady and Bright

August 26, 20252 min read

When life shifts, our energy shifts with it. Sometimes the change is obvious — like children becoming adults, stepping into a new role, or caring for someone we love. Other times, it’s quieter, showing up as a subtle sense that what once fit doesn’t quite feel the same anymore.

No matter how it arrives, every shift is an invitation to notice your light. Not just how brightly it shines for others, but how steadily it glows within you.

Tending your light begins with awareness. And awareness often begins with a simple question.

Gentle Questions to Sit With

Here are a few reflections I’ve been carrying with me — questions that help me notice where my energy wants to go next:

  • What part of me has been waiting quietly for my attention?

  • Where does my energy feel alive, and where does it feel heavy?

  • What simple act always leaves me feeling more radiant?

  • What new joy or curiosity is asking to be explored?

  • What does “nourishment” look like for me in this season of life?

These aren’t questions to rush or force. They’re invitations. You may find the answers come in journaling, in conversation with a trusted friend, or in a quiet moment alone.

The Power of Small Shifts

The beauty of these questions is that they often lead to small but powerful changes. Choosing rest when you’d normally push through. Reclaiming time for something creative. Saying yes to what feels nourishing, and allowing yourself to explore what’s possible.

Each small choice feeds your light. And as your light grows steadier, it naturally spills into every area of life — your relationships, your work, your joy.

An Ongoing Practice

Your light isn’t something to fix or control. It’s something to tend, like a living flame. These questions are simply ways of keeping that flame in sight, reminding you that your energy matters as much as the love you give.

So perhaps today, give yourself the gift of one quiet moment. Pick a question that calls to you. See where it leads.

Because when you tend your light, it grows steady and bright — guiding you forward and uplifting everyone around you.
