how you do something is how you do everything

learned in the context of yoga teacher training, but really realized this was true when i watched how my friends roasted marshmallows over the fire 🔥 🪵 rather than using this as an excuse to keep doing things the same, it’s a good reminder to be mindful of what habits and mindsets you carry across different parts of your life. (bonus: what is your marshmallow strategy? i like to set them completely on fire immediately then blow it out)

Jumping in the deep end

alt title: spontaneity other folks have already sung the praises of learning to appreciate the mundane, and they're right but there are probably some obvious ways you can circumvent mundanity in your day to day – you know you better than anyone; what does your heart yearn for? what do you wish was a more active part of your life? then just fucken go out there and do it. do it in the scariest way possible. lower the barriers you've constructed around yourself to keep you safe and comfortable, because those things are what define mundanity. reduce the friction to do medium-challenging or medium-scary stuff by doing big scary stuff. then do it again. and again, and again it's going to be exhausting, there are going to be lulls between the times when you do the big-scary-thing that opens doors, but the more you do it the easier it gets and the more momentum builds from initial pushes november 2023 i was taking djing lessons, and i had made some progress but had never dreamed of actually playing for people (or at least not like, any time soon.) after a lesson i saw an instagram post about an open decks that very night. i forced myself to go – and absolutely fucked up my ~15 minute set. but a year later, i was invited by one of the hosts to play another open decks. then a month later, my friend asked me to dj vinyl for her birthday. two weeks later i got booked for a party, and a week after that i got asked to play another party where they recorded my set and put it on socials show up to a pottery studio and ask them about their course offerings, go to an open mic and perform something you've been sitting on (or just pull something out of your ass), just step off the ledge and lo and behold, you'll be in the water

Getting good at something and then getting kind of bad at it again

Talking about chess but really you can do this with anything. Nice and humbling.You can also get good at it again if its important to you

Breaking your habits then starting them again
