Wasn’t feeling very inspired today and felt like all my painting was looking 💩. Came out here with the bear and she patiently watched me play (then she played, too). It’s been a big lesson for me not to force creativity and to just let it unfold on its own. Luckily, I’m blessed to be surrounded by so much beauty where I am now, and this little break in the day really helped ignite some inspiration. Maybe it won’t always happen that way, but it did today.

I don’t know what I’m doing a lot of the time. But I keep showing up, so I think that’s good. Made it to Friday!

This will never get old 🖤

Remember when you wanted what you currently have? I read this a few weeks ago and it keeps showing up for me in different places. I’m really glad because every time I see this little reminder, it really hits me right in the gratitude bones. It’s easy for me to list off stuff that I am grateful for - family, friends, Koda, etc- but I don’t always feel it as intensely or as genuinely as I want to. Then I see messages like that and I can step back and just sit in it for a while. Literally, at the beginning of this year, I was stressing so hard and begging the universe to be where I am right now. And as soon as I got here, I don’t even think I blinked before already wanting to be at the next step! Chill out. Enjoy. Reflect. You are here, now. That is amazing. Happiness is not at the end of a road. It’s here, now.

A pretty sunset and fancy-ish pose, but also: Learning so much in my practice and shaking off expectations of what it should look like. I used to always make sure it was 30-60 minutes, candles or incense, calming music and 5-10 minutes of meditation to prepare, and if it ever fell short of all that, it felt like it didn’t count. Idk, now I kind of just want to do yoga for the yoga, even if that means fifteen minutes holding two or three restorative poses, or ten sun salutations before bed. There’s still value in that, ya know? :)

Shark Fin Cove and some of the craziest waves I’ve ever seen🖤

Flowing into midweek feeling really inspired and content. Still looking forward to dat weekend tho 🙃

Your productivity doesn’t define your worth. Rest and recovery are just as necessary for growth, yet it’s often overlooked or seen as a weakness. Hustling is cool and all, but there there is so much to be gained in stillness as well. Rewiring my brain and letting that sink in deep 🙂
