Are You Practicing Self-Care or Just Performing It?
The fog set in this week—gray, drizzly, and disorienting. I thought I was practicing self-care while finishing my website: taking breaks, playing soothing music, even reaching for coffee to push through. But when I looked closer, I realized I was performing self-care while ignoring what my body actually needed. This is the moment we usually lash out or berate ourselves. But what if we paused instead? The liminal center of this season asks us to slow down enough to notice what we're actually doing and whether it's serving us.
Every Choice has the Possibility to create Coherence
Small choices. Big ripples. Real chemistry. Recently I chose to take a dance class for no reason other than it brings me joy and moves my body. A small thing, but here's the surprising part: the choice itself mattered more than the activity. The moment I said yes to something that delighted me, I felt the field around me shift. I was in alignment. The air cleared. Something new became possible. That's coherence. Not transcendence. Not escape. Just the simple power of an intentional choice rippling outward. What are you adding your energy to these days? What projects, people, ideas, and norms? Where is your attention flowing? And does that place feel like what you want to be creating more of?
