TAKING CARE

and we’re back…

I’ve been feeling this pull to come back to my blog. to write, to share + to process the many things that rattle around in the depth of this brain + heart.

it’s been almost a year since I wrote on my blog or for any column and this is the perfect way to practice non-attachment. to practice the “begin again mindset”

I’ve been thinking more about how to make my job last. how to really make my schedule sustainable FOR REAL and what I really want to stay engaged with. I’ve always said, “I am my job” because it’s literally me and me doing all the things. Yes I have help and support with my retreat + making decisions on specifics but the rest of it, it’s me showing up and putting my body in a place to hold space for humans to move. That excites me. What doesn’t excite me is taxes, admin and the like.

So, how do I make my job last a long time? I make me last a long time.

What I landed on is this: when I take care of me, when I slow down the pace as needed, when I do the things that really fill me up (often times solo), when I make time to connect with friends 1-1 without our dudes present, when I say no to things that aren’t a fuck-yeah it really makes me feel like I could do my life the way it is forever and feel 100% fulfilled in it.

This isn’t really an innovative way of being or a brand new idea but it sure as shit is a great reminder to do those things and say no to other things on purpose so I keep my cup full. I think we can feel our cups emptying and wait until they reach beyond bone dry and then try to clean up the mess (i feel this is human nature), but what if we stopped before we got to empty and said to ourselves “oop, yep, I need to slow down. oooh yes I need to stay home tonight” and just did the thing that would make us been full again?

harder said than done, of course.

let’s stay at it friends,
always with love
