i’ve been noticing how much i’ve been giving so much of my energy away to the future. how about i tune back in with my body, my energy, flow, and effortless action? there are times for powering forward, but there are also times for stillness.

you can reinvent yourself as often and as much as you want. you don’t have to stay stagnant to make other people comfortable.

Becoming more agile, lighthearted, sensuous, and playful in your body has a lot to do with your ability to release. To let go. To declutter. To excavate. To give away, (even the stuff that you love but never use). Dragging around old crates, boxes, and closets full of stuff makes your spirit heavy and cloudy, causing your body to feel more like a rock than like sun. Too much shit building up around you also messes up your mental health, digestion, quality of breathing, and weight as well. People have been trained to become slaves to old trophies, old chairs, old clothing, old shoes, old notebooks, old bags, old certificates, and the like. They learn to keep and hold on to the past for dear life, and never feel their own body’s aliveness as a result. --India Ame'ye, Author

today was beautiful! i co-coordinated an event where i got to spend time in the presence of creatives and other community-centered folks 🥹 it was a reminder to indulge in joy, connection, and care. life is not just about productive productive productive. investing in my future is important but the present is worth my attention, too. fall in love with the path over the outcome.

be addicted to real dopamine

be in the present and notice those little things you never saw before, but that have always been there

experience new exciting things that bring you joy

love people, listen to them and create meaningful connections

make art and don’t label it as “good” or “bad,” just let your soul be free

stop scrolling on social media and start turning pages of an interesting book

do mindfulness meditation and feel your body and mind calming down

move your body, no matter how as long as you’re enjoying

listen to music that matches the moment you’re in

eat nourishing food, feel your stomach full without discomfort

get a good night of sleep and feel yourself ready for another day

growth reflections — i found that releasing my resistance to deep intimacy has been healing. i had some traumatic relationship experiences that made me shield myself from being too vulnerable, out of fear that i’d suffer again. i think a bit of fear is normal bc there’s always a risk with intimacy, but now i’ve learned not to let it control me :) i am proud of myself

reflections:

i am practicing non-resistance. resisting something only gives it more energy.

adding on—if something doesn’t feel right, i can revoke my attention and redirect it toward what does feel right.

i love and trust myself. i am looking after myself and my life. i only welcome input from people who can add to the love i already have for myself.
