Meditation: Calm, Calm Light Length: 5 minutes Where: Bedroom, Los Angeles How It Felt: Like fresh air
Lately I’ve just been craving space in my brain. Every time I sit down to meditate, I’ve wanted to just breathe and let my mind clear out. I wonder if this is a sign that I’m just super busy and need a break, or possibly (and possibly) a sign that I’m getting used to meditating. I no longer crave a guide or something specific to focus on too often. I like just…
Breathing.
Trying to continue my slower, more consistent pace of life in general, even as the days fill up. My nature will always be bursts of energy followed by periods to refuel, but I can keep certain balls rolling and not let life get too jammed up- if I stay consistent. Little things each day. A meditation. A little time to write. Time to focus on creative projects and career. Time to study. Time to read. Time for people I love. Time to tend to my home space. Time to move my body.
These things don’t add up to a huge chunk of time, but doing them a little each day bit builds to big goals! I’m finally reading a book a week reliably, my language skills are getting sharper, I’m calmer from all the meditating, my home is in good shape, etc. I’m making bits of progress and staying focused on what matters to me the most. I’m not getting overwhelmed, and I’m not burning out.
At the moment, at least! Let’s see when I’m fully, completely back to work!
My biggest goal is to make enough space for creativity. Clear out the BS and make space for creating. That feels really, really good.
Today is the final day of an epic weekend with my love. Feeling so lucky to have some real quality time together after an extremely hectic summer! (And to be well into season two of Ted Lasso! So good!!!)
