✨Awe. Childlike wonder. Magic.✨
Pause from everyday routine.
Turn quiet, reverent gaze to the expanse of a starry night, across the vastness of a barren desert, into mesmerizing ocean waves.
Allow eyes and spirit to see as if for the first time.

✨Pay attention, or give attention?✨
Paying usually means an exchange of something for another.
Is there expectation of receiving attached to my attention, or am I giving it freely?
Which is the better way?

✨Change is like a pendulum.✨
It begins with slow momentum. Builds up to empowered, faster energy. Swings to the other extreme before it settles back into the center.
Release extremes. Allow completion.
Settle into a healthy, balanced middle path.

✨Admiration for the courage to be vulnerable.✨
Wounds, even the ones healing, can feel so tender and raw.
Natural response may be to protect them out of fear.
It takes great courage to be vulnerable enough to hold the rawness without apology nor shame.
So brave.
Deep peace.

✨ Emotional maturity lives in the pause between action and reaction.✨
In the heat of the passionate moment, instead of trying to control the circumstance, control your reaction.
Interrupt the wild mind with deep breath, then choose a different way forward.

Deeply emotional morning. Ability to play guitar continues to creep away like an unhurried, snail-paced thief.
Breathing through sadness, comforted by wisdom. Life is a series of shifting joys at different times. Changing perspectives, different heart-smiles.
New joys await.

✨ Dim the lights. You never know what you’ll see when you can’t see. ✨
There is so much more info we won’t percieve when the eyes are distracted by “always on” overwhelm.
Lower the lights. Rest into the quiet.
Allow healthy space for other senses to see differently.

✨ Movement is a medicine that heals where other things can’t reach. ✨
Tempted to shrink and hide or procrastinate? Choose one movement, no matter how small.
Gently wave your arms in the air.
Walk 10 steps.
Stretch like a cat.
Energy flows.
Notice anything different?

Today #selfcare looked like bonding with the desk buddy over our hatred of Partnership's customer service, keeping distracted from a worry beyond my control, and garlic fries.

✨We don’t always need to solve, fix or propel. ✨
Sometimes there is no need to do anything, nor process, nor talk/type. There’s nothing to work out or work on.
Relax into the simple, quiet state of BE-ing.
Allow things to move or to remain still as they need to.
Trust.

Conversations left hanging.
Projects left undone.
Relationships needing to end.
Closure of cycles.
Finishing creates more room for what needs to arrive, begin, and thrive. But first… finish.
