Oh, hi friends!
Nothing is as bad as it seems.
Nothing is as urgent as it seems.
Nothing is as doomsday as it seems.
With rare exceptions, this is always true.
So knowing that, maybe it’s possible to move through the day—and the world—a little bit easier?
Let's try.
Make it happen today.
“Your power is in your individuality, in being exactly who you are … that’s why there is no competition in artistry. It’s not about being the best or the biggest, the king or queen. That notion is so ridiculous. That competition or comparison is actually the exact opposite of what being an artist is. As an artist, you should be in competition with only one person—yourself. You can’t worry about what others are doing or saying.”
This excerpt from J. Lo’s memoir really got me.
Oooooo. Calm.
Yesterday I was feeling stressed and tugged in many directions, until my friend Andrea Bartz recommended this six-minute meditation by Tara Brach. I played it in my headphones and immediately felt calmer. My shoulders dropped. My mind cleared. Sure, the stress was still there, but suddenly everything felt much more…doable. Hope it’s useful for you, too.
