thinking if I give my brain and body space, they will simply feel inspiration, joy, excitement, curiosity, wonder, when the time is right. i’ve made a lot of big, honest, and tumultuous changes this year all after seeing parts of myself more clearly, and redirecting w that clarity towards a more beautiful joyful passionate loving life.
although short term im tapped out in most ways and fully oscillating between numb and overstimulated, I’ve set out the nets and these things will swim happily over to me when ready. trying to let that be

🍵I have the worst fear of staying in one place for too long (both literally & metaphorically) but I think what’s even more dangerous than that is the desire to stay in that rut forever even though it’s not serving you !! That happens to me because I’m so scared of failing or to be seen trying for something but not reaching it in the end.
I am feeling so inspired after coming home from a concert & I am allowing myself to bask in that sense of renewal !! Like wow it’s okay that I want to write again despite not doing so for months now! It’s okay that I’m getting into photography again after not honouring my commitment to practise it in the past few months! I am learning more and more from personal experience + observation that some doors only open at the right time and there are times when the right thing to do is to actively pursue something, while there are times when we have to sit still + wait and see

✨this feels like a big answer for this question but it’s true! I feel like I used to feel the most tortured when I thought I had done everything right and according to plan but things didn’t work out the way I thought (still feel tortured by this sometimes tbh).
in a perfect world 1+1=2 but in this universe with nature and people and relationships 1+1 doesn’t have to be 2 and can be something different altogether. realizing that I was doing things hoping for a very specific endpoint and that I was miserable every time the process felt like it had all been for nothing when it yielded a different result was eye opening for me.
these days I try to do feelings checks during the process so even if things don’t go the way I thought and the universe has a different gift for me, I’m at peace and happy I was on the journey anyway even if the end doesn’t look how I envisioned! truly have found more peace by trying to embody the belief that I don’t have any idea how things will go!
(but also getting a gua sha and making a ritual out of moisturizing & doing a lil massage routine every night has helped!)

🐋So much of what I'm proud of has been inner work that isn't always noticeable on the outside. Recently I've been given a beautiful opportunity that brought up a lot of fear in me, which I've been through enough to realize that it was based on past hurt or taking on other people's opinions as a kind of judgemental character in my head. I'm so grateful to have the support of people in my life that helped me talk through what was going on. My husband, one of the best people in the whole world imho, shared with me that developing Self (the true, unique you) is recognizing when fear is just fear, and doing it despite that. Each time we are able to do that, our true self gets stronger and stronger.
Since I worked through that I've had so much more energy in my day to day life. It's like I slowly was becoming buried without even realizing it. I've learned that the goal in growing isn't necessarily to change, but rather to become more and more our true selves. It's a constant process. Barnacles attach, and we work to notice and remove them so we can swim smoothly.
