STAY CURIOUS. GROW YOUR KNOW.
You never know who you might help if you RESIST the urge to lead with a verbal or energetic disclaimer that you’re NOT meant to help them (however they might identify internally or externally…. on the surface or deep down inside).
This applies to business, yes. But imagine for a moment how this can apply to your general walk in life. Do you ever miss connections or interesting encounters or beneficial relationships because you’ve internally presorted your people preferences? I’m NOT suggesting you throw out your boundaries, filters and intuition. I AM simply wondering if you’ve checked in lately about how you employ the knowledge you’ve gained about how you best operate in the world.
When mapping… tracking… safeguarding your resources and capacities as a highly sensitive being, your individuality is the key.
My FIRST tenet for the highly sensitive being to flourish in our world is TO KNOW YOURSELF.
LIGHTWORKER BLINDSPOT
As a profoundly sensitive human, I am careful and particular about who + what I interact with. When someone is only willing to be / work / stay / explore IN THE LOVE + THE LIGHT then there likely awaits a shit-ton of untended information / wisdom / juice / dormant potential AND ALSO warnings + landmines. Ignored or untended material can become volatile, awaiting opportunity to burst forth or seep out from the shadows bringing tumult - often manifesting as DRAMA.
We ALL carry untended material, but if you refuse to explore yours or honor it in others, you may be walking with quite a stockpile and working with a mighty big blindspot.
PURPOSEFUL MOLTING
Not parrot. Not puppet.
Neither precarious nor perturbed.
No premise.
Not prisoner. Not princess.
Neither panther nor priestess.
No power.
CHAOS: FRESH AWARENESS AND AN EVOLVING RELATIONSHIP
Let’s be real. Chaos is unavoidable. And not all chaos is bad. I don’t mean… let’s be neutral about chaos… although I think that’s also a helpful tactic.
I’m saying that my well honed chaos detector activates panic and deploys shields (that once SAVED me) sometimes too soon. And I miss out on the ENJOYMENT of the chaotic parts of creative endeavors.
GROWING SMALL
I've been moving toward simplification in my life with a concentration on a slower pace in 2018 (externally AND internally). An evolution of this focus is QUALITY over QUANTITY, and it's showing up in a few ways. For example, my numbers are DOWN across the board in all aspects of my business.
My circle GROWS SMALLER.
How's that for a paradox?
SENSITIVE INJURY - A PERSONAL CHRONICLE
I've previously written more on the INJURY PHASE of what I've dubbed the SENSITIVE CYCLE but have never chronicled my own experiences from within this stage. Here you'll find a quick description of the SENSITIVE CYCLE, along with four videos totally 27 minutes, spanning a month's time during a recent period of PERSONAL BURNOUT which had me firmly planted in INJURY mode for longer than expected.
RAVENS PROMPT A REVIEW
[AUDIO VERSION AVAILABLE] On a recent morning, a pair of ravens in tight formation and synchronized movement flew 15 feet over my backyard as I enjoyed my morning coffee. While there is typically a mated pair of Ravens making their home in the foothill territory to the west of me, it is NOT common for me to see them together and certainly not in a silent synchronized flight directly overhead.
DEVOTION IS A PRACTICE
Whether in the realm of relationships.... faith... principle... path... project... or promise,
I believe to declare something as sacred, we must practice the art of devotion.
But don't be daunted.... a practice can be honed... devotion can be learned...
SACRED CAN BE CLAIMED
