For me, I know that I am going to get the most stuff done when I first wake up. I don’t even do the things that are going to distract me like my phone or sitting down until I finish. I also unintentionally created incentive for myself because I don’t play my little word games until get a bunch of stuff done that I need to đŸ€Ș
Everyone has a time during the day where they have the most energy and focus. Figure out when that is for you and try to work with that. I know for me that the longer the day goes on the less likely I am to do those things, so I plan around it. Some people actually can only work like that at like, 8 PM. Maybe you’re nuts and work really well after lunch!!!
Anyway, TLDR, pay attention to your natural rhythm and work with it.

the problem that most people have with balancing their day job and creative work is that they do the day job part first, which means that (1) you’ve already given your most productive hours to The Man and (2) when you get done with 8 hours of bullshit, instead of getting to rest you now have to motivate yourself to do *more work*, which is immensely demotivating.
in contrast, if you wake up early and do your creative work *before* the day job, you’ll have way more energy to give to your projects, and when you get home from The Man you get to rest easy knowing you already put in your hours for the day. even though i work freelance now i still implement this - wake up early, work out, do my writing, and *then* i worry about shit for my clients. i highly recommend it

a lot of the times as soon as i sit down more than a couple minutes to rest im pretty much done doing stuff for the rest of the day. if i start being productive in the morning it’s so much easier to stay productive throughout the day

So here’s what I think:
For those of you who have a skillset at waking up anytime earlier than work - I recommend MP. This can be your workout, or sitting in a coffee shop, or going on a walk, or even watching TV.
Reclaim your morning! We grew up just eating breakfast as quick as possible and sprinting to school. (Well, I did.)
It’s easier to focus on working if you already had MP.

In Tarot, The Fool is the first card in the Major Arcana, which represents the life cycle. These cycles we are continuously going through in our lives, not just once. The final card of the Major Arcana is The World (which I have tattooed very large on my thigh), which signifies the completion of a cycle and natural ascension into the next. We are then thrust back into the Fool, with a bit more wisdom. The Fool as an archetype is one of joy, curiosity, spontaneity, and trust.  The Fool is pure of heart, knowing that the Universe has got their back.  This innate trust allows The Fool to be playful, to take risks, and truly believe everything will work out.  The more we go through life and experience loss, grief, heartache, trauma, the harder it becomes to embrace this energy.  I’ve found that as healing goes on, just as it’s shown in tarot, we return to this natural state of being. We start off as The Fool when we are wee little babies, and if we are lucky can return there a few cycles at a time, with more wisdom gained each time.   The goal of The Fool is to have positive experiences, maybe for fun, maybe to grow. There is an acceptance with The Fool, a kind of “this is what is, how can I make this work well for me?” Everything works out for The Fool because they don’t know it can’t. Anything we go through in life, we can use to grow.  I personally believe we all could benefit embracing the archetypal energy of The Fool a bit more.  The Fool doesn’t stop to worry what other people will think!  The Fool does not fret about what if’s!  The Fool is in the moment!

Humans have always danced. It is part of who we are, yet we have been conditioned to be self conscious, to think that we do not move our bodies good enough. Dancing is beyond judgement. Dancing is not a skill, it is our soul moving through our bodies, expressed in movement. Dancing is healing. Dancing is bodily autonomy. Dancing is FUN! Any feeling you are feeling can be moved through with dance yet even alone, you fear looking foolish. Kill the judge in your mind, shut the fuck up, and MOVE 🌊
