The reset process to which I refer when it’s time to get back on my square. 🤺🫡🥷🏿

✨ #3 is the keyest key. ✨

Was off my square for a lil bit, but back on my beeswax🙏🏿 and I . Some Keys:

1. Gratitude: We MUST honour progress and presence on this earth. How ever little.

2. Decision & Declaration: Are we serious or not? If so, then who we letting know?

3. Employ Accountability: If we’re not being held accountable it’s pretty much playplay when it comes to this wellness game. Hire a coach. Invest in aps. Do what you must. Support on this self care/awareness marathon is non-negotiable. Wellness is a team sport.

4. Monitor & Measure: Track what matters to you and pay attention when progress aint progressing.

Journal on this for a solid week. Add some juicing, fasting, and prayer if u really want the smoke, and you got yourself a reset💃🏿🙌🏿🙏🏿

Grateful to God for the gift of will to remain curious & committed to the lifelong journey of thriving & surviving on assignment, while remaining free yet focussed in this gift of a body. It’s fun.

Fast Life has a price!

God has been gracious, really keeping me as I’ve moved about with ease last quarter. but I have not been nearly as kind to myself. Time to take a beat to get back on track. 🌿🙏🏿🖤

The first thing to go OUT the window when I’m heavy on the move are my health habits. It always starts with the FOOD. Slides into movement, seeps into my sleep, and then eliminates motivation for meditation.

And It’s👏🏿Not👏🏿Cute!👏🏿

I’m SHOOKETH that it’s already November when it was just June! Father Time don’t play at all.

But 2023 will not punch me in the throat nor will it catch me slacking—In Jesus mighty name. 🤧🤺👊🏿

I’ll be back in a bit w/ tips on how I get my stuff back on track since health is wealth🌿🙏🏿🖤

Self control vs. rigidity. SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST! OK!😍

This is my most valued fruit, and so naturally, it’s the one I’m most challenged to keep sweet and abundant in my garden. I often oscillate between rigid and self-controlled, it’s a very fine line and usually I don’t mind to be honest.

However it is in my relationships that the contrast between these two becomes most visible. And potentially problematic.

Self-control is a state of discipline and denial or delay of a preference. It’s also a state of personal mastery, of which I wait patiently to experience ripe fruit.

How that looks: I’d PERFER to eat the whole pie (and often , I do,) but the fruit of Self-control gently pushes the plate away after a slice saying “that was delicious, and I’ve had enough.”

Rigidity pinches my arm saying “don’t touch that, too much sugar” restricting access to the joy of that moment.

Rigidity interrupts opportunities to connect out of fear of losing control, when in reality we have none.
Self-control is a spirit of presence, flexible understanding and ultimately love for self and others.

Rigidity is a contraction, inflexible, and often unnecessarily extra. Where Self-control is a regulation of expansion.

Super duper very excited to spend this coming season swimming deeper into this and each of these fruits of The Spirt, in all areas of my lil lifeschool. 🌻🖤🌿

I’ve found Generosity is more about the heart you have toward the distribution of your resources, especially your overflow.

And Over-giving more to do with the state of your resources. It slides into over-giving when you don’t have the resources that you are giving away. The heart is usually the same but the difference is one of capacity.

If we dig a little deep though we can see some shadow. Sometimes we over-give to get something we think we don’t already have, love, acceptance, understanding. We may over give attention or affection, for fear of losing someone who may not even be ours or someone we could never really lose.

We may over give our skills & talents to a master who doesn’t value us, for what we believe to be survival. Or over-give our hearts in hopes it will be held.

I’ve found the guts of the contrast between generosity and over-giving is in finding and maintaining a state of sufficiency. Both physically and spiritually. When you have and feel enough, you don’t give from a place of lack, either of resources, or unmet emotional needs or longings.

Sometimes the generous heart can slip into over-giving because people grow expectant and entitled to generosity, and this can lead to burn out and resentment.

The word tells believers to guard our hearts with all diligence, for out of it flow the issues of life.

Over-giving/extending, is a severe issue, especially in the “helping” industry. The greatest allies to a generous heart though, are firm and wise boundaries.

So wishing you wisdom, strength & guidance, this and every day in the development & enforcement of boundaries to guard your abundant heart🌿🌻🙏🏿💸

Gentleness is strength under control where weakness lacks strength.

Weakness is a huge trigger for me. I find it deeply off putting and, outside of babies, useless. As I studied the fruits though, I recognized that if I wanted to eliminate, rather than repress elements of my own weakness, I’d have to be gentle and understanding. I’d have to build strength where the weakness lived. And that would take time.

Weakness in character, the inability to break bad habits, maintain focus or patience, irritated me. And so the weaknesses I saw in others was also equally irritating. This isn’t kind or fair.

In order to build strength in those areas, to finally see progress, I’d have to be compassionate, and gentle with myself. Which would then be extended to others.

True Gentleness can be heard because it doesn’t cause harm. It’s patient and contained.

When it comes to truth. Many cannot recieve it because it‘s too spicy. So the one abundant in gentleness, has the power to share truth (life) and cast out lies (death) in a way that the heart can receive.

THIS gentleness, is power & strength. It’s A super sweet fruit. Hope u get to exercise gentleness with/on yourself today.🌻🍯🙌🏿

What I’ve noticed about the contrast between patience and waiting is the difference of the texture in the passing of time.

Waiting feels like it’s a focus on the destination while patience has understanding for the journey.

Waiting has goals and outcomes its focussed on. While patience is submitted to the grander vision.

I’ve been so grateful to my doula practice for helping build this muscle. It shows me how At the end of the day, the baby will come when it comes—patience is the only way to show up supportive and do the job well. Lol u can’t “wait” for the baby. The work is witnessing and presence.

I still have a wayyyys to go but so far from where I’ve come from prior to engaging with this work.

The textural quality I most enjoy is the appreciation for the process that comes with patience. Theres no rush for it to end. Even the uncomfortable. Contrasting from what feels like an irritating stuckness that comes with waiting.

Like willpower though, patience for me is a resource that can and does get depleted. So I rest, sleep, and sometimes avoid in order to preserve this fruit as my garden is not yet overflowing.

Thankful to both my spiritual, personal and professional practices for gifting me this little tree to water, and grateful for how it’s gifted me greater patience with myself, and as I grow, others near me. 🌿

S/O my Daddio. One of my most interesting teachers; Love you.🖤🖤🖤

Faithfulness is from love where overcommitment is from fear. Faithfulness is the energy that keeps a mother teaching her son how to read, while Overcommitment is that same mother forcing herself to bake homemade cookies for the PTA meeting she chairs, even though she has time for neither.

Faithfulness comes from an honour led commitment. Overcommitment often comes from a need to please, a misplaced hope in something or someone fleeting.

Faithfulness says yes, I will. I trust you, this, and myself. Trust and faith implies that I don’t know everything, and I don’t need to. &light

Overcommitting says yes. Because I have to. I owe, want, or need. I don’t really trust, (or respect) myself, and so usually I need more control, and If I don’t have it, I’m uncomfortable. It says hopefully, with enough self sacrifice, I’ll get whatever it is I’m longing for. And when you don’t, It breeds entitlement and resentment. &salty.

May you find the discernment to identify when you’ve overcommitted, and forgive yourself and others for that decision, and may you find something firm and solid enough in which to place your faith.🖤🌹
