#solotime

The Queen of Stones (the Mother Bear) is back again today to get a little sharper perhaps in reminding us to take care of both ourselves and our environment. Pay attention to your resources and check into your accounts. Are you ok after holiday spending? If not, set up a plan to get you back on track and implement it as soon as is practicable. Don’t be afraid to face what needs facing — you’re strong enough to handle whatever needs handling. Refresh your wards and fences. Check and make sure that nothing is creeping back in from old habits and processes that were previously cast off. Time to get a little fierce in self-protection and self-development. Don’t be afraid to growl if people need to know to back off. Be careful, though: don’t launch an attack when all that’s needed is a well-timed growl. #tarot #oracle #runes #charms #vitki #seer #divination #divinersofinstagram #thewildwoodtarot #themusesdarling #witchesofinstagram #witchlife #priestess #solotime https://www.instagram.com/p/Bsf3rX3H-3z/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ubtx4eonjw0u

Solo weekends are all about recharging, reflecting, and reconnecting with yourself. 💖 Embrace the peace, embrace the stillness, and get ready for the week ahead with a full heart.

• The Importance of Solo Time • ⁣ I once dated a guy who told me that he hated being alone with his own thoughts. When I asked him more about it, it really came down to him not knowing / liking himself, so he consistently turned to external stimuli to distract from having to face himself and his inner monologue. Turns out, I did that a lot, too. But, over the years, I’ve also been able to slowly cultivate a practice of hanging out with myself on a semi-regular basis, so now I feel comfortable, and “at home” within myself. ⁣ I recently realized that I used to *always* have background music on at home and in the car, but in the past couple of months, I’ve been relishing silence more often than not. I wake up and enjoy having quiet mornings, and when I go out for errands, I’ll forget to turn on the radio since I’m in a thinking mode. Now I understand that if you live with others or have kids, this is a very rare occurrence. In that case, I urge you even more to truly *seek out* time alone with you, and without external stimulus to truly ground yourself in who you are, rather than be influenced by the barrage of incoming messages telling us to be this way or that way. ⁣ Partner dancing in West Coast Swing is like that too--the more I try to be a “pleaser” in the dance and anticipate where I think my leader wants me to be, the more I compromise our connection and the potential for what our dance *could* be. But the real magic happens when I take a moment to breathe into my own body first, connect into myself primarily--and then, all of a sudden, my leader knows *exactly* where I am, I’m in no rush, our connection improves, and we get to dance more fully into the edges of our beautiful potential of our 3 minutes together. ✨ ⁣ I wrote more extensively on the importance of granting ourselves this gift of “solo time” in my first book, Don’t Settle, if you’d like to dive into it a bit more deeply. The link is in my bio. But either way, I hope you grant yourself some space to just sit with *you* and get to know how amazing you really are… ‘cause ya are! 🙏 ⁣ #solotime #silence #silenceisgolden #groundyourselffirst #grounding #deepbreaths #meditate #quiet #quietude https://www.instagram.com/p/CDxp_VnDT8T/?igshid=krgoezav0gfh

Lately, I’ve been starting to think of myself as the CEO of my life. Meaning, that I need to be managing my “team” well (aka me), inspiring them (me) to get things done, looking for more opportunities to grow my business and invest in my personnelle (me), and looking to make sure I have a profit at the end of each year. 😉🤓 ⠀⠀ So, given this new 🦠 territory we’re navigating, I realized that with so many events are being cancelled and postponed, there is a bit of time to work with, here. So, I called a meeting yesterday with my “team” (aka me) to discuss our options. ⠀⠀ We assessed the current landscape, and took inventory: ⠀⠀ • Thankfully, I've been working online as a freelancer since 2012, so nothing needs to change there ⠀⠀ • With so many events and gatherings being shut down, I no longer have FOMO, and can stay home guilt-free (yay for being an introvert at heart!) ⠀⠀ • Turns out, I have a long list of personal and work projects that I’ve told myself I’ll tackle when I have “free time.” Well, hello "free time!" 🦠 ⠀⠀ I know that some of us are now being forced to work from home with the kids that used to be in school all day, or that our jobs and livelihoods which are dependant on in-person services are now being called into question… and I don’t know the solution for so many of my friends who are in these kinds of positions. 💕 But I do know that as much as this may suck--it can also be a perfect time to cocoon, since we won’t otherwise give ourselves this time. 🧘‍♀️Finally, we’re being forced to take space to look inward, take stock, and face the things we’ve been putting off. ⠀⠀ In that spirit, during my meeting, I made a list of all these pending, nagging projects I’ve been avoiding for one reason or another. And the new goal for my team (aka me) during this time is to clean out the mental, physical, and digital clutter, invest in my education, strengthen my body + mind + spirit. And when the societal quarantines are lifted, I plan to emerge as a better iteration of myself. ⠀⠀ I can’t wait to see what new innovations and next levels we all access during this concentrated solo time. 🦋 ⠀⠀ #solotime #isolation #introversion #quiettime #corona #solopreneur https://www.instagram.com/p/B9ui8cLnyRS/?igshid=1vg4lawz1ftra
