Surviving capitalism is an act of creativity.
Navigating microaggressions, making ends meet, and building systems of care & support where there are none all require a type of creativity we don't even acknowledge.

Along this line, being a "morning person" only matters if you subscribe to the structuring of a traditional 40-hour, 9-5 work week. Otherwise, give yourself the freedom to work with, not against, your body's natural rhythms and be productive whenever feels good to you.

“Full time” is a social construct.
40 hours a week is an arbitrary number and not actually representative of any kind of success, productivity, or status.
The sooner we understand this, the sooner we can start building true work-life balance.

You can’t challenge systems of harm while seeking validation from them at the same time.

When the heart and mind / nervous system and logic are in sync, that’s the ultimate goal of healing our traumas. #spiritchat
Q5. When the heart feels unified with the mind... what can (or has) become possible for you, your body... Do share. #Spiritchat

None of that healing can happen until you feel safe, and that’s gonna look different for different folks. But it’s nervous system work. #spiritchat
Q4. The first step to (re)unification of heart, body and mind is to _____
where may we go from there?

Sometimes, fragmentation is a survival strategy in response to trauma. It is a way to at least keep parts of you safe when the whole of you is in danger. #spiritchat
