Yea I said it, and you probably did too several times. This time actually do it! Use the personal day, allow the friend/family member that always offers to take care of the baby while you have a night, exercise the balance you need to be the best you.
Community is everything but you cannot contirbute or even enjoy your people if you do not enjoy and take care of the person who shows up (Yup that's you!)
Let's talk about how its bigger than a "date", it's whatever it looks like for you!
We hear it all the time that when one feels uncomfortable there is Growth happening and the unfamiliarity of this feeling will one day become what we needed to do to achieve what we wanted to do.
Living these feelings, embracing them, that might feel like pain at the moment, but it's exactly what we will be grateful for when we are living that goal, let's dive into it!
Q1. Quarter 1. Quarters exist within the way we track the year and even more in specific areas of business and service. I wanted to highlight the fact that we're in Quarter 1 and exactly:
- What does that mean?
- How does it make us feel?
- What can we gain from the awareness of Quarters in the Year?
Let's talk about it!
Yea I said it... But not like that I promise you. Let's talk about what your already thinking!
It can feel harder or it can feel a lot easier, in reality you control what feeling sits when you think about it. A really great friend/brother once told me "Perspective is Everything".
Let's talk about exactly what everything is!
SideBar: I mentioned my really dope curator brother and this is his page incase: @mannyxmanuel
Plain & Simple. Let's really talk about it!
- Who You Were
- Who You Are
- Who You Will Be
It's a lot more than that but let's start here shall we?
Inspired by S4 - Episode 18 from the TV Series Manifest. A statement I heard that stood out to me past this show, it was something we do in Life like they did in Manifest.
But who is truly the choice or what a "Safe Space" is? To me it's self, its You for You. Let's dive into it!
It's been a while and Im so happy to be back with you all. Happy New Year! Grab your tea, coffee, tree, drink and let's do what we do!
Growing up in early teens age this probably didn't make much sense at all. In our early/mid/late twenties, this is either a reality or a full circle moment of realizing what could've been our response to rhe seasons change (and life change too).
I sit on the other side of this feeling but through my Tribe I've learned this is real and there's ways we can assist each other as well as those who we know are more prone.
I know you got excited once you saw the title! Let's Dive In!
We've seen it and heard it growing up. From sports commercials to movies to shows. To give it every single thing you've got or nothing at all. It's ok to do so, it's actually really amazing to see who we are when in such a tunneled way of moving with a specific goal, like everything else balancing what gets All, Nothing, and even some of you.
Let's Dive In!
Inspired by a time Co-Star sent one of those daily mantras and it just hit home and sent your favorite fruit on a mental tangent/reflection. "Trust is a Process between people, not something given to one another."
Trust is US (trUSt). It is something that can guide and hold strongly and is needed for self as much as between you and exterior factors. Trust is repairable but it's a possibility it could never be the same.
It was February of this year (2023), the 7th to be exact. Watching the Lakers and specifically LeBron make history, it stuck out to me that this guy adjusted in many ways to continue doing what he loves.
It made me think of myself and all of us others and how we can also, not change what doesn't need fixing, but integrate ways that create longevity and just allow us to see- it's capable and if I know that I also know it's capable in different ways!
I sat and reflected on my Intimate/Love Life, then quickly found myself reflecting on anyone around me and their love life. What kind of experiences they've had and what they feel the reason was and currently is.
I noticed a way for me to cope with sometimes not receiving what I wished for or felt was reciprocal is that, I am the person whom the Universe chose to teach this other soul a Lesson. I am on the other side of this experience for a reason I understand, not only because of who I am and what I've exhibited to others before but also because I'm noticing the theme of my Intimacy.
I know this sounds tough but what if you thought about it similarly? Instead of wondering why these cards keep being dealt to you, thinking maybe this is a period for you to closely learn your contributions or how to work amidst a constant challenge.
Let's just dive deeper I promise it'll make sense!
On a train commute to work around Noon, I was reading a specific part of "The Alchemist" and after a few paragraphs I had that brain blast moment connecting me to how I've always done things the way this book showed.
It made me reflect even deeper on how everyday we experience, so many different things, but we don't always perceive what we're experiencing. We make a choice, we keep going, but imagine what perceiving what we're experiencing can do? I mean who know's till you do it!
Today's vibration was Inspired by an Episode of "The Shop" featuring Idris Elba, Drew Barrymore & Kyrie Irving. All 3 spoke on the importance of forgiving self for choices made and the results they brought. I think you should watch that then come over here and let's dive into it a bit more :)
Growing up in a household where communication was raw and honest but could've been delivered better and more considerably has taught me to always make sure It's not what im saying but how I say it that' matters and resonates. I've told people they do things that do not come off genuine without calling them "funny", "fake" or "weird". Those word's can offend people and depending who words are coming from, we start to create barriers and actions that hurt us within because we feel what someone told us countless time or just that one time very strongly is true. We associate this perspective or opinion as a form of Identity.
When we let others opinions or ways of treatment define us we can start to feel like Self Sabotage is the best way to get through (or even the only way overall). In reality, you never even gave yourself permission to Sabotage, someone started it and you continued it without any consiousness until you find yourself noticing a pattern. This is where you learn, you cannot hate yourself into a place of self acceptance and happiness, the version of you that you hope for or can imagine must be loved before it's even fully visible.
You can love yourself into a new version but you cannot hate yourself into that.
I was reading my favorite book ever (I know the name is gonna be so Cliche with me and my waaays), Flow. In this book there was a moment that spoke about how we can flow through the simple activities of life while still being intentional but being in that state of just doing without worry or thought of anything but what is happening in that moment. I started to put this way of approach into perspective for things we all do in different ways, hang out with friends, get dressed, what we decide to drink, where we eat, etc. We all differentiate in different ways for different reasons but it all integrates into how we make our choies, sometimes we don't even notice we make the choice before even trying. It's a subconscious choice. Ok Im done talking, let's dive deeper!
Touching base on the feeling of hearing something constantly, a term, a word of association that speaks to your identity. Sometimes we are already what we're working for we just aren't channeling it with the realization of "I am this, now let me be it while I know Im already it". Whatever that IT is doesn't matter because whether you feel like your IT or not, you can call whatever IT is to you. A feeling, an itme, a lifestyle, a place, an experience. I might have confused you a little with the 17 It's lol but come join snd let's speak deeper into this Vibration.
Many moments we feel like we cannot pour into ourselves or we convince self without even realizing that for some reason self contribution isn't something that can be fulfilled in anyway. When this feeling happens, why not channel what we can't, where we can? When we can't listen to our own emotions and feelings, we listen to others and allow them to have a shoulder to cry and an ear that s listening with an environment that's comforting. You just poured... maybe not to self but you poured into someone else.
Sometimes when we can't fill the cup with water its ok to be the water that fill's someone else's cup. Eventually we're able to be both. Ok I'm done with examples come and join us already!
