10 Pieces of Unsolicited Advice

♥️ If they leave let them. Friends. Lovers. Let them go. Don’t reach out. Don’t chase them. Don’t try to convince them. If you have to convince them to speak to you, to see you. They don’t want to. Let them go.

They have decided. And their silence, the ghosting, the disappearance is saying everything you need to know. You don’t need closure. The leaving was the closure.

♥️ If you’re wondering how they feel about you, if you are confused, you have the answer. Let go. When someone values you, respects you, wants your presence in their life you know it.

Love is not confusing. It is the thing that is the most clear. It is the thing that puts us at our most lucid.

♥️ When you feel stagnant, when your creativity feels dead, when you are stuck in a rut return to all of the things that are most true to you and seduce yourself. You used to love to draw? Draw. You love art? Look at art. Disconnected? Go put your ear to the ground. Nourish your lunar self the things that came very naturally and that always put a light in your heart. In no time at all you will come home to yourself.

♥️ If you feel lost read the great classics. The Iliad and the Odyssey. Read Rilke. Read a Mary Oliver Poem every morning. You will find your way.

♥️ Make 1% of your 20,000 breaths per day conscious. Whenever you can pause and pay attention to that one big sigh. Breath in and out like the sighing of the tides and let it sweep your mind. Every time you bring your mind to your breath you practice presence. String a few of these moments together and you are more conscious. It will transform you. Trust me.

♥️ Love yourself enough to never chase people. You’re not obsessing and chasing them because you love them you just don’t love yourself enough and you THINK if you could get this person that rejected you to love you it would prove you are loveable. You are loveable. Take all of that care and turn it back on your own heart. And go love where you are welcomed with love.

♥️ Move your body every day. Squat. You’ll thank me when you are 80 and you can get up off the ground. Maintain or develop ankle mobility and hip mobility. Strenghten your legs and your feet. It will strenghten your body and keep you spritely and young but it will also strengthen your ground of being. You will stand stronger.

♥️Expose yourself to beauty daily to cultivate and steward your AWE. Awe motivates participation and participation is relational and relating well will save us all.

Make beauty. Seek beauty. Be touched by beauty.

♥️ Every creative act requires a destruction of what was. The canvas will never be the same. The mother. The earth you dug for the new foundation. Your new life will cost you your old. Don’t stay in the painful familiar only because it is familiar. Risk yourself a thousand times. This is your only chance. And you are worthy of more.

♥️ Pay so much attention to your senses. FEEL your body. The subtle movement of air on your skin. Taste and savor and enjoy your food. Eat well. Notice. Sensitize. Your sensory experience is your quickest path to the presence. It is the way in which you experience the world and your life and your love fully. Cultivate that experience. We are so prone to disassociating moving like robots on automations. Rebel. Taste it. Bring your body with you.

Be so involved with living your own beautiful life… 💜

"What you think of me is none of my business.

If we live our lives fully, it is a given that someone, somewhere, will be displeased. Someone will have judgment about what we did, how we did it and the color of the shoes we wore while doing it.
To live on the basis of what "they" will think is to make ourselves crazy.

We must live from our fine level of feeling, from that connectedness deep within to nature itself, a true guide that, by following it, will take us always in the direction of our highest self and our greatest good.
What someone else thinks of me, speaks of me, gossips about me is on them. It is a report on their state of consciousness.
It really is none of my business.
And if I am involved in the business of life, I will not even have time enough to care."
