I’ve learned the hard way that my own drawn conclusions can take me to some pretty dark places. I’ve lost people because of it. I’ve made myself miserable when nothing was even happening, just because my mind was building up World War III in my head. It really fucked me up.
People say "just don’t think about it," but we all know that’s easier said than done. Then they say "meditate."
Look, meditation isn’t a cure-all. It’s not a magic button. What it actually does is keep you stable. It brings you to a place where you can think clearly and use mindfulness to navigate the mess.
For the last four months, I haven’t been practicing any of this. I haven't even made it to a yoga class. I’ve been leading my company from an emotional place instead of a stable one, and it’s been making everything harder. When you’re a super emotional person like me, that’s a dangerous game.
But the words I live and die by are: **Begin Again.**
So, that’s what I’m doing. I’m breaking the slump. I’m getting back to my morning routine and hitting a yoga class next week.
We all need to take a beat. It is always better to make a move when you’re stable than when you’re spiraling. The outcome is usually horrible when you don’t take the time to take care of yourself first.
Let’s all take care of ourselves together this week. Let’s be the best versions of us so we can actually lead the lives we want.
Take care NMF,
