There's a common misunderstanding among all the human beings who have ever been born on the earth that the best way to live is to try to avoid pain and just try to get comfortable. You can see this even in insects and animals and birds. All of us are the same. A much more interesting, kind, adventurous, and joyful approach to life is to begin to develop our curiosity, not caring whether the object of our inquisitiveness is bitter or sweet.
To lead a life that goes beyond pettiness and prejudice and always wanting to make sure that everything turns out on our own terms, to lead a more passionate, full, and delightful life than that, we must realize that we can endure a lot of pain and pleasure for the sake of finding out who we are and what this world is, how we tick and how our world ticks, how the whole thing just is.”
-Pema Chodron

🌌 Most of us were raised with the ideas of Newtonian physics:
Step A → leads to → Outcome B.

This cause-and-effect mindset keeps us waiting for the external world to shift before we allow our internal world to change.

But if we truly want to step into a higher resonance, the infinite quantum field of possibility, the invitation is different.

It’s not about forcing or predicting outcomes. That’s limitation.
It’s about becoming the cause itself. 🌟

And here’s the key: we must learn to leave the “how” to the Universe. The how is none of our concern. When we release control of the path and stop clinging to specifics, we step out of our own way and unblock the infinite possibilities that are already waiting for us.

✨ The shift: From waiting for life to change us → to being the change that shapes life.

Our brains are like dogs and we must learn to retrain them to sit and stay.

IHollins blends neuroscience with everyday life so you see the wiring at work while you’re living it. He offers a blueprint for turning intention into automatic action.

Key Lessons

1. Habits Are Built, Not Broken
Your brain can’t “erase” a habit; it only lays down new ones. To quit a self-defeating behavior, you need to give your neurons a better route. Replace, don’t simply remove.

2. Identity Drives Behavior
Lasting change sticks when it matches who you believe you are. Instead of “I want to run,” shift to “I’m a runner.” Your brain defends your identity more fiercely than any to-do list.

3. Willpower Is a Weak Tool
Motivation fades, but systems endure. Hollins urges you to design friction: make good choices effortless and bad choices inconvenient. Environment beats sheer grit.

4. The 20-Second Rule
Shrink the time between intention and action. If practicing guitar is two rooms away, move it next to the couch. Every second you shave off resistance rewires the brain’s reward circuit.

5. Emotions Are Data, Not Dictators
Cravings and impulses are signals of an old loop firing. Noticing them, without judgment, weakens their grip and lets the rational brain step in.

6. Micro-Wins Compound Like Interest
Tiny, consistent victories are how neurons lock in a new pattern. Celebrate the five-minute workout or the single saved dollar; each is fresh circuitry.

🍂 As we into fall and closer into winter, the light begins to fade, and we are invited inward. This descent into darkness is not a loss but a gift, time to retreat, recalibrate, and realign.

The bright stretch of summer often pulls us outward, yet in these quiet months, we return to ourselves. We become conscious of what we’ve carried, what we’ve outgrown, and what we’re ready to reshape.

✨ To see transformation in our outer world, we must first create it within. This season whispers: pause, listen, and become the conscious creator of your life once more. 🌑

🌊 The River of Life 🌊

When I hear “the river of life,” I see our individual streams weaving their way forward, each unique, winding, rushing, meandering. And then I see the one great river, the All where each of us merges, flows, and connects.

Life moves with a fluidity that invites us to soften. When we remember this, the ride through life’s ups and downs becomes smoother. We learn to navigate the streams of choice and change without clinging too tightly.

Other rivers cross our path, some stay for a while, some move swiftly on. And that’s the beauty of it: everything flows, nothing stands still.

Trust your river. Trust the flow. 💙

🔥🌾 The Autumn Equinox 🌾🔥

Turning the tides. On this sacred day of balance, light and dark share the sky as equals. The Second Harvest is here, a time to honour abundance, to give thanks, and to prepare for the descent into the darker half of the year.

Today, pause and notice your own balance:
🌾 What have you gathered this year that fills you with gratitude?
🍂 What are you ready to gently set down, like leaves returning to the earth?

Ritual for the Equinox:
✨ Gather leaves, herbs, or seeds that speak to this season.
✨ Speak aloud your gratitude for the harvests, both spiritual and earthly.
✨ Name the burdens you are ready to release, offering them to flame, water, or earth.
✨ Close by calling balance into your body, your home, and your path forward.

As the wheel turns, may this equinox root you in gratitude, free you through release, and steady you for the mysteries ahead. 🍁

🌑✨ Dark Moon Eclipse Energy ✨🌑

Tomorrow’s skies bring a dark moon + solar eclipse in Virgo, a potent reset of endings and beginnings. Shadows rise so truth can emerge, asking us to refine habits, release what no longer aligns, and plant seeds for what’s to come.

With Saturn’s steady gaze, there’s a call to balance freedom with responsibility. The invitation: clear space, ground deeply, and trust the rebirth unfolding.

🔮 Ritual reminders:
🌿 Journal what you’re ready to release
🕯️ Light a candle for new beginnings
🌌 Step outside & breathe with the night sky
💫 Anchor yourself in one small, steady ritual

This eclipse whispers: let go, reset, begin again.

🌙 Nearly every day, I hold space for people who walk in carrying their suitcases of pain. I invite them to open those cases, to lay out the weight they’ve been holding inside. And in these moments, what I see over and over again is this:

One of the greatest gifts we are given in this lifetime is our capacity to be kind to one another. 💫

Kindness heals. Kindness transforms. Kindness makes the unbearable just a little lighter.

🌊✨ Sometimes the banks of the river feel safe. We pause there, telling ourselves it’s just a short break, but before we know it, we’ve stayed too long.

Life was never meant to be lived standing still. Movement is essential. Flow is essential.

Rest when you need to but remember, the river is calling. Get back in the current. That’s where growth, clarity, and vitality live. 🌊💙

Finding your breath in the depths.

I had a vision last night. I witnessed my near drowning in tidal waves. The waves kept me under far too long. I heard myself thinking of my likely drowning when then suddenly I was able to take tiny breaths to sustain me until I was able to resurface.

In Celtic and shamanic traditions, the Otherworld breath sustains us when human breath runs out. It’s a sign that our soul is learning how to be fed directly by the unseen.

✨ Passion doesn’t need to come wrapped in anger. ✨

Martin Luther King Jr. reminded us that the deepest strength is found not in venom or blame, but in love and clarity. When we speak from our armored stories, we try to knock others off their ground. But when we speak from the heart, we stay rooted in our center—and that grounded presence helps others find theirs.

You can be a force for change without rage. You can be fierce without being fanatical. Real impact comes from the quiet power of compassion, conviction, and courage.

Choose to rise, not to fight. Choose to lead, not to wound. 💜

🌌 Solar Update ☀️
A massive coronal hole has opened on the Sun, now facing Earth. This dark region streams high-speed solar wind toward us, which can spark auroras, disrupt satellites & GPS, and stir up geomagnetic storms in the coming days. Sensitive folks may notice shifts in sleep, mood, or energy as Earth’s magnetic field responds.

✨ Stay grounded, hydrated, and keep an eye on the skies. Northern Lights could reach farther south than usual!
