Yesterday someone shared with me their own experience of the book that really spoke to me..

“things are finally shifting for me. I’ve read so many self help books but this is the first where I’ve felt it all click into place. I have this sense of healthy detachment and ease as new things are coming into my life”

This book is hopefully a breath of fresh air for those that are used to the self help category telling you “how to live your life”. The type of resource that tell you that you’ve been doing it wrong and there’s only one way to do it right.

I don’t believe it in that at all. There’s no one way.

Your own answers are always going to be the best for you and your path. The principles in this book are to guide you to awaken your inner knowing, your compass and magnetic energy so that you radiate that effortlessly. Reinforcing self trust and surrendering this idea that you need to live in any way other than what feels true for you. 🌹🤍 by @modernmind___

I’m learning to slow down. It’s taken me a long time to make peace with disconnecting. To feel grounded enough in my own being that I no longer subscribe to the idea that my worth is contingent on being productive in every moment.

Although it may feel strange at first, slowing down is key to reconnecting with the world around you, with the people around you & yourself.

It’s in the slow moments, the ones that feel ordinary and mundane — where your life happens. You can either rush over it, or be here with it.

For me slowing down looks like taking a walk at a nearby park and noticing what I hear or spending a few extra moments infusing intention and nourishment into making my morning coffee. Little moments can capture enormous beauty — if you slow down enough to be there with it. by @modernmind___

Honestly, September was a month where I felt in a perpetual funk. Nothing to point to necessarily to say 'aha' that's why I'm feeling this way. Just a lingering sensation that something was off. So I went looking - was it in my relationship? My routine? My work? My sense of purpose? Where we live?

The funny thing about trying to find meaning is that we will inevitably find it regardless of how accurate or true it may be. When I pointed to one area of my life to blame, I found reasons. Those reasons became friction points and then created more reasons. And alas fulfilling the story that something was wrong despite nothing changing.

One night lying in bed I had a thought cross my mind - what if this feeling is not caused by something outside of me, but something inside of me? Perhaps my lens that I was looking at my life was warped by the fact I was looking for things to be wrong to attribute my feelings to.

Thoughts are like dogs - if you send them looking they will hunt down evidence for you.

But the truth is, as often as it can be things happening around us, we are always invited to turn our gaze inwards and ask: what is happening within me right now? Is it ok to feel 'off' and not need to attribute an immediate feeling?

The more permission i gave myself to simply feel the feeling - the lighter it became. Eventually I recognized that it wasn't the external but a rigidness internally that was causing my funk.

Permission to be human. Permission to extend grace. Permission to not have the answer.

All created space for a lightness to re-emerge. by @modernmind___

When something truly matters, it asks more of us. You don’t need to feel fearless to move forward. But you do need to stop negotiating your life with the part of you that’s afraid to be seen in your ‘in-between’. My loving invitation for you today: What’s the smallest action you can take forward right now? by @modernmind___

I’ve been thinking about trade offs a lot lately as I’m in a chapter of juggling the new role of motherhood alongside many other roles. A shared experience yet, uniquely our own to navigate. Perhaps for you you’re navigating a demanding career, your friendships, a new relationship, new hobbies and beyond. There never seems to be enough time for all of the things.

Something that has become apparent is that you can not do it ALL at once. That meaning.. there is always a hierarchy of importance and something has to go at the bottom of the list.

Maybe that’s your health, maybe your relationships, maybe your wellness practices, maybe your solo time, maybe your family time etc..

What I’ve been really sitting with is how there are some things that if they sit at the bottom of that list become things that cost us the most. And although you may look around and see your peers prioritizing things that you feel you should too - this is my loving reminder to check in and see what is TRULY important to you.

So my loving prompt for you today - are you focused on what’s important to you? Or what feels most urgent? Is there a way to reorder the hierarchy, if only temporarily to find more balance? by @modernmind___

if you keep believing that you need to do *one more thing* before you begin, you only delay the discomfort of beginning. The part that we all want to dance over.. needing to really TRY. To put ourselves out there. To not be good straight away. To face the gap of our taste and our ability head on.

But the only way out is through. And the more you delay in waiting to feel ready or more qualified or more experienced.. you simply delay the realization of your dream.

Doubt becomes not the barrier but the friend along for the ride. Its presence is not a sign for you to halt your journey but in fact ~ a reminder that you are actively moving forward. That instead of sitting on the sidelines you are dancing with life. by @modernmind___

how could you soften your edges to life today? sitting in reflection this morning, I’ve felt called to reconnect with being open to life. As I’ve created more experiences that were once just a vision.. I’ve also found my preferences get stronger and stronger. There’s nothing inherently wrong with preferences but they become restrictive when we impose them rigidly. When our idea of what’s best becomes so solidified that we are no longer open to being surprised and delighted by the infinite ways things can unfold.

Right now there’s something in the air asking us to soften. To not abandon our preferences, but to create room around them for new experiences to unfold. To flow with life more than we try to direct its flow. by @modernmind___

We have this idea that there’s more time. That “one day when” will better to start living our lives in the way we’d like. But no time is guaranteed. Each day we have is a precious gift if we allow ourselves to recognise just how impermanent things are.

Instead of waiting, what would it look like to take action today? When could be a better time to start taking better care of yourself - physically & emotionally? What actions have you been putting off for your future self?

It is our actions that define our life. Even when those actions face the resistant thoughts of the mind (the ones that tell you that there’s a better time to start, or that you are not prepared or equipped) you hold the extraordinary ability to take action nonetheless.

And when you do so you realise although the voice of the mind feels real, is not necessarily true. Our limitations are just as true as we believe them to be. by @modernmind___

By all means build the things you are lit up by and want to create in this world, just don’t get so caught in building that you forget to look up and see all that you already have. Riches that you may miss altogether if you’re so caught in trying to get ahead 🩵 by @modernmind___
