⋒ overlooking what IS in hope for what could BE ⋒ overlooking what IS in hope for what could BE is a tragic flaw (keeping Shakespearean lightness here) - one that delineates us from our path of who we are today. It keeps our ego hoping to attain and possess a ‘something’ that we may already have. Are we paying attention finally? What is genuine contentment? Write it down ≙ 📸: @micapsmusic
Words are my signs and symbols from the universe t Words are my signs and symbols from the universe to delve deeper into learning about myself and to further develop the connections around me with new intentions. I connect to a word and it becomes a theme to explore both daily & over time. Every day becomes a beautiful opportunity to test how much love, compassion, respect, and vitality we bring to ourselves & to others around us. I learned that communication was something I needed to work on. This manifested itself in experiencing intense pressure in my throat and feeling stuck to express my thoughts through words. Communication lead to exploring vulnerability - to share is to be open. Being open is letting your authenticity shine which in turn shows you who sticks around or who doesn’t. This is scary. It’s normal. And it needs to happen. Shifts in friendships happen when you begin communicating and being vulnerable to change. Being vulnerable brings some old and new insecurities - again, super normal. We begin to analyze and question the stories we have been living by. But with vulnerability and openness comes an opportunity to begin writing a new story - one that is based on our authentic expression of self. Naturally, more radiance, compassion, and appreciation for what is NOW, takes form. We begin listening to a hum and we connect with that frequency of energy. A new story is underway. ✎ to paper. Writing a new story centres us. We focus in on each moment of each day. For me, ever since I got back from Australia, I have never felt more present and living with a strong intention and conviction in all that I do. Being present has never felt better. I reeeeally feel the intensity of the NOW. Allowing each day to take shape and form that jives with the frequency of our present state and our current energy field is one way to hone in on living with pure intention right now. When you’re stuck in the past or focused anxiously on the future, what is in front of you right now that you’re not using to re-ground yourself in the present moment? We aren’t lacking anything - the tools to return to self are there. Explore ᨏ
suffering in life can uncover untold depths of cha suffering in life can uncover untold depths of character & unknown strength for service - Billy Graham we had a fantastic day exploring Squamish and finally ticked a dream summit from my ever expanding list. It was a big day and oh so rewarding. Very grateful to have shared this day with the boys, who were oh so patient with my slow pace at this time.
Allowing someone’s perspective and perception of Allowing someone’s perspective and perception of reality can be a form of self-sabotage. Social conditioning and media has a way of guiding us to follow the crowd, but it’s important to be inter-dependent, and still know who you are and what you stand for. We are unique individuals for a reason. We all bring someone beautiful to the table. The more we live by the ‘rules set out by people who feel they have the authority to dictate them’ prevents us from tapping into our own programming, individual potential, and puts us into a mental bubble of struggle. Let the soul speak. Listen to it’s whispers. Quiet your voice everyday for a few minutes to listen. Live, breathe, and love your authenticity no matter how hard that may be. Just like you wouldn’t pick up someone else’s medical prescription, don’t follow someone else’s life prescription either. Happy life-lovin, friends ᨏ
≙ if it’s not a HELL YES, it’s probably a no ≙ if it’s not a HELL YES, it’s probably a no // within that there’s room for grey because we’re curious exploratory beings. But for the most part, that’s a mantra that comes and goes for me, in many aspects of life - an adventure, a relationship, a life decision, a friendly catchup, etc. The sky is the limit. If you can’t offer 100% of you for whatever it may be, are you doing yourself and/or the other involved a favour? I’m currently exploring this question & thoughts around it. If we can’t show up as our best selves, is that a testament to the fact we have some inner work to do on our own before we share ourselves with our friends, our partner, our family, etc? Holding quiet space for ourselves is difficult and many would say, it’s a nice opportunity to use as a bonding experience with someone else. Maybe my opinion is biased from an introverted stance, but I think personal quiet space should truly be a space held just for yourself so that one can learn to hear and feel the little whispers and changes within our bodies, in conjunction with our thoughts. ⋒ Let me know what you think! // 📸: @solarus_cascadia
