I wish more people talked about manipulation through playing the victim role, aka "you made me dysregulated/sad/uncomfortable" or
"if you weren't this way then I wouldn't have done x"
It's a different version of a power grab.
Remember the last time you caught yourself thinking an untrue/negative thought, and questioned it, flipped it & stopped it?
Amazing.
Now do that 100 times an hour until your neural pathways recalibrate into something different.
Ongoing reps at the mental gym.
Listen. There's still plenty of time to start those projects, make those plans, quite those bad habits, and meet new people. There's 4 months left in the year. That's a long time when you are focused, committed, and confident.
It's not that you want to be different.
It's that you want to be yourself.
You've been made to feel like it isn't safe to be yourself, so you've distanced yourself from those parts.
Coming home will feel disorienting at first.
Keep returning, every day.
The Moon Studio benefit for Maui raised just over $12,061.
Because of our community's generosity, I'm sending $500 each to 12 individuals affected by the tragedy, and $3,000 to 2 disaster relief orgs.
The devastation is heartbreaking.
Give what you can.
Having a flourishing newsletter really is magic, because I sent out a flash sale to mine today to benefit the people of Maui, and have already raised $500
in 3 hours.
I'm stoked because this month I presented an amazing workshop and only promoted via my newsletter.
260 people attended.
This is why I am such a broken record of serving a community of people through channels you own.
& it's why I am teaching about this in autumn. <3
When a woman gets married her workload increases by 7 hrs/week while a man’s workload decreases by 1 hr/week.
A patriarchal marriage is antithetical to a woman’s journey for financial independence. It exploits her for her unpaid labor & upholds the wealth gap.
All the strikes are showing us how many people think that work should be hard and painful, that folks shouldn't spend most of their time doing what they love or what they are naturally gifted at for good $$$.
I feel bad for that level of bitterness.
Becoming more conscious is ultimately a blessing that feels incredibly discomfort while in process.
Applying love, compassion, and curiosity is the only way through.
The universe has a curriculum for you.
Look around to signs, patterns, and repeating messages to know what yours is.
And if you are truly confused, make more space.
Decrease inputs, get quieter, meditate.
You can also ask to be shown what you need to know.
