Mantra: “I receive safe, secure, and stable love.”
Love mudra: Place thumbs at the solar plexus and pointer fingers on the heart chakra. Interlace the rest of the fingers in a solid formation. “I receive safe, secure, and stable love.”

The more I grow, the more I realize it isn’t a Black or White thing... it’s a LOVE thing 💗💫🌞

Procrastination is my deadzone- but I am taking myself out of that I am “____” mechanism even though its wildly uncomfortable. For 8 months out of the year my garden landscaping business + second job keep me fully activated: filled with creativity, soaked in vitamin D, my senses charged by witnessing transformation 🌱🌿 and each piece of rooted divinity reminds me how to do the work. But 🙃I am so easy to forget when VT shakes off it’s summer glory and makes a rapid decent into winter. My vitality does the same— not slow and steady.. but like turning off an energetic valve. Recently I have held up the mirror + and seen how every winter I always ascribe to the same seasonal story for myself— these months are cold, drained + devoid of life so I must be too? F That. There is so much room for growth when I find these sticky places on my psyche where that inner critic turns into a running inner dialogue- and it keeps dragging me along. There is no need to show up to those same damn monuments of unworthiness. I am now nourishing those spaces, thanking old parts of me that each mechanism was protecting + burning the old scripts. What remains is a deliciously fresh sense of trust within. Reminders that we can always detach from analytical seeing and step into new BE-commings. The neuroplasticity of changing our p**s- poor habits allows us to alchemize a lil’ mental magic- each new action is an energetic declaration towards the liveliness we deserve. When we drop old I AM ___ mechanisms we can undo our own hardwired unworthiness. An expansive space opens in our energetic blueprint +our energy can more readily communicate with its whole. We are wildly capable of leaning into a new story for ourselves, but damn-no part is easy. I’m trying to create new pathways for myself this winter within energetic upkeep, high devotion to fitness + exploration of my sensual body. My winter sun is Accountability- I tell myself I need it when I wake up, so growth shows its face in these cold, yin directed months. Radical. Delicious. Messy. Sweaty. Sensual. Muscle achin'. Time activated Accountability. She’s opening my chest back up to the unsurpassable potential of becoming. Hbu

Strait up reposting who’s writing is so profound yet human... :
Enlightened talks with my sister lead me to realize I am not as fully healed as I would love to believe
I have this issue of never being enough
The struggles of self sabotage haunt me
I don't feel like anything I do is enough
I feel like nothing will ever be enough
I feel like I am not enough
The issue isn't the lack of self love because the love I have for myself is true
Love comes in many forms and is constantly changing
My sister told me that you don't love a person the same way every single day it's actually almost impossible too, there are days where you question, there are days where you're ungrateful, days where you are struggling, days where you hurt and harm. Days where you want more or less or nothing.
"I love myself" I told her and I truly believed the words I said because again they are true
I do
"But are you kind to yourself" she asked
And my mind went blank
I could not lie to myself I could not lie to her... my answer was no...
I am not kind to myself nor am I patient and occasionally unforgiving
I was raised to believe that "you can always do better" to not accept the bare minimum as okay... Growing up I felt I always had something to prove. Competing not only with myself but with the life that was born next to mine
I've always struggled behind my other half trying to play catch up to him in many ways.
I felt his validation made me invalid
I did not want to be left behind
He's never purposely did this we just moved at different paces and my pace just so happened to be a bit slower
I've always felt I had something to prove so that I wasn't compared to someone who I believed to be my equal
These traits have carried with me to my adult years and here I am always trying to be better than I was yesterday
Competing with myself always
I seek validation in results and actions and reactions
I am not okay with failure
I am very hard on myself harder than I even let on to be
I am rude my mind and my body
I am not kind to this vessel
And I am sorry

A beautiful message from one of my favorite people on earth Chalene Johnson. If you aren’t already subscribed to her podcasts (she has two) I highly highly suggest you start listening to her every morning. She will TRANSFORM your life and your pocket.

I try so hard to find the words to describe my vibes. But I don’t think in words. I think in color, space, and depth. Anyone else feel this? Sometimes you have to immerse yourself in the spirit of you. Build it around you like a fortress. To just be and do you without a second thought. Second thoughts are like black widows. They suck the life out of you, and what you’re left with is a plastic bag filled with the scraps of your vision.
