August Self Love Practice: Feeling Alive Again
moving through burnout and back into joy, confidence, and inspiration
hi my lovely community! welcome to your august self love practice. i spoke to a number of you in our subscriber chat, and so many people voted for the theme of “feeling alive again” and I cant say I wasn’t super excited… because that’s exactly the theme that I have been moving through myself, and I would love nothing more than for us all to do it together.
as I sat with this topic, I began to think a lot about the sort of mindsets that bring us to this place of disconnection, burnout, and boredom. it often starts as disappointment regarding the mundane, the kinds that feel righteous. we begin to cling on to these negative notions, and we walk our way into a fully-developed glass half empty mindset. suddenly, we are looking around at our daily life and we have completely forgotten the art of romanticizing. all we see is what is wrong, what is not enough, what is missing, what is empty.
and instead of feeling truly inspired or invigorated or motivated, we find ourselves doomscrolling, taking a look at the lives of people who seemingly have what we think we are missing. we find ourselves daydreaming about a different life not out of a grounded practice of manifestation, but from a place of wanting to be anywhere else but here.
and because so much of our mental energy is going to wishing, hoping, and imagining a different “better” reality, we are actually stuck. we aren’t moving. we aren’t taking action. we aren’t believing in ourselves. we are just sitting, stuck in the quicksand, letting it take us deeper and deeper and deeper.
but what if we could transform this? what if we could take these feelings, because they are valid and they do matter, but instead of mixing it with apathy, comparison, dread, and doom — we make a new recipe. one with equal parts gratitude, self esteem, passion, and vision.
what if we took this energy and decided that we were going to romanticize the right now. that we were going to remember the beauty of what is here and now, that we would begin to notice the way the sunlight hits the bedroom again, and that we would pair this with true, grounded, inspiration and action.
welcome to your “Feeling Alive Again” self love practice. we are going to do a number of special practices together, all curated to bring us to a brand new place, but rooted in gratitude, awareness, and mindfulness.
