Hello from Canada :) I spent last weekend in nature with my friends and fam. A reset. A weekend with no phone, no work, no computer. Just my camera. I am teaching myself how to do nothing. I realized in LA I am pretty bad at it. I am very good at keeping myself very busy while alone. I never really sat alone and allowed myself to be bored. Allowed my mind to think about nothing. So I’ve been practicing, and the first couple times were awful. I have been going through some personal stuff lately that obviously came to the surface. So I would feel it for like 2 minutes then get uncomfortable and go on a hike. After the 4th or 5th time I didn’t run off and go on a hike, I sat with the stuff. and it wasn’t so bad. By the 8th or 10th time of doing this I realized that the silence, me, the aloneness was enough. It was a space that did not need to be filled with anything. It just was. I could just be.
August was a lot. The work load, the deadlines due, the Miami to LA back to Miami, the hotels to friend's homes back to hotels, to living out of suitcases, the rental cars. To trying to build a business in the middle of all of it. No one tells you how hard this is. It takes a lot of mental power to keep motivated and inspired through it all. To be able to be present for clients, and friends. I wouldn’t change it, but my new lesson is having check-ins with myself to make sure I am taking the breaks needed. Making the right choices - not just from my intuition but from my mind too.
It’s prep time for me. I’ve never felt so focused and sure on what is coming next. A rebirth is here. It came with the death or a shedding of parts of myself that no longer served me. Things really do happen in the perfect timing. The challenge is the patience and wait until it’s time. And when it is time you’ll feel it. I promise you, you’ll feel it. It’s like there is no other answer other than jump.
K, back to work Happy Friday x
