😮‍💨 Read that quote again and let it sink in. You are, in fact, a we.

For this week's , I encourage you to intentionally pause and sit with the following:
Do you feel like you are a part of humanity?
What is keeping you from feeling like a we?
Who do you feel is responsible for that?
What is your part in the situation?

Living in a world that's feeling like it's becoming increasingly more divided, the most transformative and humbling thing you can do is acknowledge your role in it.

Gentle questions can instigate the most change.

Are you reacting or responding?
What can you do to connect authentically with those around you?
What part(s) of you need to be healed or connected with so that you can show up as your best self?
What can you do to believe you are worth it?
Where do you need help?

Remember: Your inner guide is always speaking. Self-reflection is how you listen. ✨

Take some time to write in a journal, on a piece of paper, talk this out with a loved one, or simply use as food for thought as you go about your day. 🙌

Thank you for joining me for 🙌❤

Pausing to admire the things that catch my attention has been one of the biggest lens changers for me. It allows me to be curious and open minded and beauty focused in life. ❄️ Like admiring the amazingness of how frost forms on a branch.
I'm finding the more I'm open to beauty the less uptight I feel. 😇 Maybe you could experiment to see what results you get from a new practice.

"Hello this is your infinite scroll checkpoint to remind you that the inventor of the infinite scroll deeply regrets its creation and now pours his efforts into an organization he co-founded called the Center for Humane Technology to try to heal some of the damage he inadvertently caused." —Noelle Sunday

You can even use this as a gratitude practice by acknowledging the attention and care you put into creating this dish. You can be reflection on all the people, places, and things that it took to bring this dish to your life. The farmers, the delivery drivers, the grocery store workers., etc. It really is a blessing to have food so conveniently available.
