It’s a beautiful day here in Santa Barbara, California. Raise your hand if you’re feeling a bit tuckered out and run down from this past month. I know I sure am!
I invite you to think about the areas in your life where you are currently overreaching. Where are you noticing overindulgence, or feeling intoxicated by overwhelm? This can show up within your work as workaholism.. it can manifest as you seeking perfection or the need for external validation.. as strong attachments to people or material things where instead of the energy bringing you joy, it’s leading your hand to fire. Do you find yourself trying to chase or control a specific outcome within relationships, personally or professionally? Where are you feeling resistance?
There is A LOT of energy, transition, change, and temptation that you may have been wrapped up in recently. I’m here as a gentle reminder that it is time to reground and dance through the chaos so it can pass. As we know, attacking things with urgency is not always the most productive approach in life. There is a time a place for such action, yet can you still do that while paying attention to the small details around you? It your drive propelled by addiction or certainty?
When things are feeling forced or coming from a place of inauthenticity, it is time to press pause, reground, and have an honest conversation with yourself. Where are you pushing past and ignoring your values and intuition? What are you sacrificing for others that in turn only further depletes you and provides no nourishment to your soul?
This is a time to practice re-establishing your boundaries and sense of self-worth through the showing compassion and empathy towards yourself and those around you. Be mindful of language you’re choosing to use as you speak your truth.. it is important to share, even though it’s scary.. say “No” in complete sentences.. do not further engage in arguments or toxic energy. Your Ego is a powerful tool, let it rest, and be present to the perceptions of others.. there is no more need to fight.. to resist.. just flow..
Remember, you are sure-footed, grounded, and maintain your integrity through the practice of empathy and compassion in all situations. It is time to feed your own soul and refocus your scattered energy.. pay attention to the details surrounding you, while releasing the need to define them.. find playfulness in each moment which will only attract a sense of joy to you and those around you. You are LOVE.
Love you.
Balance and Qi,
Kimi
