Monday, March 25th was a cute one.
A 6:30am wake up to Marc Rebillet’s Morning Alarm. Sending some waving emojis to my let’s get up early friends accountability group.
Immediately rescheduling my open pole studio time I usually take at 3pm on Mondays because i knew today was for lounging and lounging only
Remembering the Lunar Eclipse starts today. Having the urge to read my go-to astrologers’ interpretation on the eclipse. Spending time looking back at what I journaled last year to track connections to any similar thoughts and feelings I’ve had the past week.
And omg I found some!
Excitement building up to seeing the through lines of said connections. Seeing them with more refreshed eyes and a clearer perspective on how at peace I am with the journey.
Mismatched blankets, one blush pink, the other a stark purple and lime green, cradling me. Warm lighting from my geometrically squiggly lamp keeping my eyes focused on the page in front of me. Seeing in the corner of my eye the occasional legs of people and their doggos talking their morning walk outside my window
Journaling for an hour to write out those throughlines, reflecting on how far I’ve come. As a way to sit in the feeling of amazement of how much can happen in a year and to reassure myself that my spirit knew what to ask for because I’m reveling in it now.
Changing into my go-to flowy pants because she means business when it comes to rest.
A slow skincare refresh, continuing to experiment with the products I invested in to make the skin GLOW before my slow frothy coffee making
The dishes are still dirty in my sink by the way, but I smile through knowing that I can grab another mug for a haphazard yogurt and granola breakfast before plopping back to bed for work.
Work mixed with the occasional reading of other newsletters that make me giddy— the giddiness also probably coming from the caffeine pumping so much blood to my heart, it was pulsating against the mug I leaned on my cheat to bring me some warmth— and watching YouTube videos that bring warmth to my day because balance
Did I want to wash the dishes yet? No. So I leaned into my fried chicken craving instead of cooking and ordered takeout with a mango smoothie on the side for some reason??
Filling my cup with my daily dose of a comedy podcast (Tiger Belly has been my current fixation)
Writing to you all right now as my work settles down while listening to
’s writing playlist.And oops! My alarm went off to remind me I signed up for a free virtual pole prep workshop. Ehh I’ll skip it because no way was I messing with the flow of gluing my butt to my mattress.
I keep writing to you all while I figure out whether I should now transition into reading, beginning my monday chores or reaching for the cold parts of my bedsheets i have yet to take up space in today on this queen sized bed of mine
I’ve cherished you luxuriously easeful March 25th eclipse
SENSORY SAFETY
The song(s)/artist I’ve replayed the past week to calm me down
“Float” by Janelle Monáe. Thanks Tamia for the rec :)
The media I watched the past week to calm me down
Lauren Louise’s YouTube vlogs. I just can’t help watching vlogs of people doing boring things!
The activity I did the past week to calm me down
Sitting in silence staring at the ground because sometimes you just have to lean into boredom
