Dear reader,
For the first time in weeks, I’ve felt inspired to write. Well—that’s not true. I’ve felt inspired to share my writing.
There is a lot that is shifting in my world. All good things! It feels like such a sweet and steady moment filled with a lot of love and trust.
Some of you may know that I’ve been experimenting with having a dumbphone (!!!). At some point in the beginning of this experiment, I committed to stick with the experiment for 90 days. It’s been a month & a half thus far and I’m starting to feel the effects — relief, calm, greater attention — come in strong. I’m also realizing that the problem wasn’t my iPhone; it was social media. One might say that social media is the real villain (see: attention sucker) here!
In any case, my boundaries around screen time have become more solid & reliable and it feels amazing. I am treating my attention as more sacred than ever & I feel the effects in my body, heart, & brain. More to come on that, I’m sure.
I’m also experiencing seismic shifts in myself & my work in therapy. It’s been groundbreaking & massive & I have no idea how to talk about it. It’s all happening on such a body level. For now, I’ll just say: I am so grateful for my devotion to always turning back toward myself, over & over & over again.
Lastly, I got a raise & a promotion at my day job & I’ve decided to start an S Corp for my business! (Future me during tax season is literally so relieved, lol. If anyone has advice about this, let’s chat.)
Today, I’m going on a lil camping trip upstate. It feels like one of the last few weekends that will be genuinely hot outside & I’m happy to be spending the evening in the woods & under the stars.
I don’t have much else to share in this check-in. Overall, I feel happy & smoothed out these days. The leaves are turning & with it, my energy is shifting inward, a pivot to crisper days & longer nights just around the corner.
