26. Live in tune with yourself this summer
Quit bypassing yourself
Living in alignment with your natural energy is of the utmost importance. The shit we need to talk about this week is: QUIT BYPASSING YOURSELF.
It is time to really understand yourself so that you can restore balance. It is time to LIVE IN TUNE WITH YOUR NATURE - which is Ayurveda’s first pillar of self-care. It is time to quit bypassing and or gaslighting yourself and tune into what you need and desire and begin meeting yourself there to establish harmony. This way you’ll be in a more regulated state and be able to MAINTAIN a regulated state or more easily re-regulate yourself when it comes to the needs and demands of the rest of your life: your work, your relationships, and everything else.
Thanks to capitalism and white supremacy culture, many of us are master self-bypassers. We have no choice based on the sheer speed and expectation of capitalism. And when it comes to the oppression of white supremacy culture on folks with marginalized identities, we are not afforded the time, space, or resources to easily or completely tend to ourselves.
But the thing is - since these systems are not stopping or slowing down anytime soon, we’ve got to find a way to start showing up for ourselves that make significant impact SO THAT we have the resourcement we need to live, thrive, and have the capability to continue the work of disrupting and dismantling.
In today’s episode, the support I’m offering is:
Understanding your energy
Beginning to meet your most basic needs in real time
Create a daily rhythm
Balancing summer’s energy within you
Pausing and slowing down
Honor your energy, bandwidth, and capacity
Jump in for all the goodness!
