  • Friends who adventure together πŸ’«

I was out walking with my friend when we came across this ridiculously huge puddle blocking the entire path forward. I suggested we turn back and loop around the way we came, but she said, No - let's just climb the fence! 

Forget that both of us experience #chronicfatigue and #chronicpain - she was determined to move forward, and inspired me to do the same (despite the slippery moss-covered wood πŸ˜‚)

@navaelukas you beautiful soul, thanks for the reminder that there is ALWAYS a way forward πŸ‘πŸΌβœ¨

    Sunshine follows even the darkest of days 🌞
  • The shift from DOING to BEING ✨

I went for a walk with a friend the other day (a fellow Type-A Productivity Queen) and she commented on how much lighter my energy is these days...and of course asked: Ok but literally HOW did you shift from the constant mode of *on* to this state of ease?

It's the hardest and best thing I've ever done.

At this point, after over a year of conscious intention to make that shift from the constant state of *doing and productivity* to a state of *simply existing*, I'm finally free of the constant weight of effort πŸ™ŒπŸΌ

When I started this process in January 2020, my mind would race with ideas for my business and plans for the future literally dozens of times a day. And every single time, I would gently remind myself, No, brain, we're not doing that right now. I'm practicing simply BEING.

After a few months, my runaway productivity brain that wants to accomplish ALL πŸ‘πŸΌ THE πŸ‘πŸΌ THINGS πŸ‘πŸΌ finally slowed down to just a few times a week...and by summertime, even less. 

These days, if you ask me what my plans are for 3 weeks from now, I'll tell you that I have NO IDEA πŸ˜‚ and I LOVE IT!

Rather than chasing goals, I'm chasing alignment. Alignment with my spirit, with my sense of self. And I'm leaning into faith in my complete competence to handle WHATEVER chaos life throws my way... so I don't need to know what that chaos is going to be or control it in any way... Rather, I know that I'll be able to handle whatever it is (as I'm certain because I've already handled chaos beyond the beyond in my lifetime).

Here's to chasing alignment (and sunshine!) βœ¨πŸ’–πŸŒž

  • Everything in nature has an intrinsic frequency. Day and night, seasons from winter to summer and in between, even the cycle of our lives from youth to death. The pendulum swings eternal.

Think of pushing a child on a swing: if you are in resonance with the existing frequency, you can push the swing pretty high with little effort. However, if you push and push and push, you will get diminishing return for increasing effort. And if you are out of sync with the frequency altogether, either you’re getting kicked in the face or the kid is falling off the swing. Either way, not a pretty picture. 

Similarly, our internal energy requires rest. So much so that if you refuse to make time for rest, the body will become sick and TAKE time. 

When we push too hard for too long, the situation may become so dire it feels impossible. It feels like we need to DO something to fix what’s broken. But you’re not broken. Perhaps it’s simply time for a rest. 

Create until you can’t. Rest until you can.
