Little by little...

Seen and unseen...

You are growing in new directions.

Yesterday, I asked a friend to check-in with me for the next five mornings to ask me how I'm feeling.

A few years ago, I would've been waaaaayyyyy too bashful to request something like that, but as I get stronger and stronger about claiming what I need, and especially when I'm in the surrender of feeling sick, I ask.

“The cure for burnout is not “self-care”; it is all of us caring for one another. So we’ll say it one more time: Trust your body. Be kind to yourself. You are enough, just as you are right now. Your joy matters. Please tell everyone you know.”

Recently, when folks have mentioned feeling disappointment about where they feel stuck or blocked, I hear an extra dose of self-judgement. Like they know what they “should” do to move forward but they have absolutely no motivation to actually start and it's tempting to beat themselves up about it.
