Day 187 || Resource Protections

The system is programmed to steal your resources just as it is programmed to steal the earth’s resources. They’re fracking you for labor and consumerism. Start by protecting your own resources. Your energetic, creative, intellectual, conversational, financial, emotional, physical resources are all incredibly valuable just like your time - and all of those resources deserved to be treated as such.

Day 186 || Self Advocate

Avoiding communication is one of the fastest ways to feel isolated in a room full of people. Bring yourself closer to the people in your life, by being honest with them and respecting them enough to trust them with knowing what is on your mind. Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 185 || Conversational Interviews

You’re a good human regardless of if you’ve charmed the socks off of everyone around you or not. Stop exhausting yourself and those around you with this unspoken pressure to be the star of every experience. You can step up and ask questions - but if it’s not comfortable for either party - what is the damned point? Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 184 || See a Need Fill a Need

If you have the energy - don’t be afraid to step up and fill needs before they need to be filled as long as you remember that it’s not your responsibility to be useful all of the time or ever, honestly. Instead of thinking you always have to be of use, allow yourself to simply be - and remember your worth remains unflinching - even when you aren’t the one to save the damned day.

Day 183 || Grownup Baby Knows No Better

Just like a baby’s cry - we may not initially know what need needs tending to but the more we learn about an individual the more we may understand about their cries and appropriately be able to decipher between them. That said, it’s not our job to pick up for everyone else. The only person you are responsible for is yourself. Being the caretaker for everyone around you is not only taxing, but impossible. Knowing that everyone just wants to be seen but it’s not your job to ensure they feel seen i...

Day 182 || Giant Babies in Grown Up Costumes

Even those people you truly believe have their shit together - don’t. Everyone is simply trying their best and there are certain things that every single human struggles with. No exceptions. Sure, some people have advantages that have set them ahead. Some people have good role models to show them the way. Some people have more time, money, and resources to get them ahead. But even still, with every fucking advantage known to man, people struggle with life. 99% of us are faking it at some capacit...

I have talked about the importance of finding the vacation in your day to day but now I am encouraging you to create it. Learn more about your ad choices.

When was the last time you detoxified your energy from other humans? When was the last time you went into the woods or the beach or the lake or the park all by your damn self?

Day 178 || Prioritize You So They Can Too

There shouldn’t be shame around breaking up with a person at any age - what there should be shame around is choosing and settling for a person you are completely unsatisfied and unhappy with just because you have a deadline to fill. Heartbreaks suck so bad because the joy that lies in sharing your heart with someone is so fuckin’ amazing. Why would you want to miss out on the magic just because you may have to do some crying and healing and growing after?? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit...

Day 174 || First Day Back Dread

I have learned over the years that my problem is rarely my inability to finish things - it’s actually my resistance to beginning them that holds me back. An unfinished project is far less discouraging than a project you have yet to begin. Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 173 || Lean into the Normal

Stay present in the good times for sure, but don’t forget to stay grateful and present for the normal times too. The fact of the matter is - normal can be pretty dope - and if you lean into the not so normal shit with the right attitude - that can be pretty damn cool too. Learn more about your ad choices.

Day 172 || Intuition Practice

Follow your mistakes. If you make a wrong turn - honor it. See where that takes you! The point of the process is to remain to as present and as mindful as you can as you allow your intuition to pull you in whatever direction it aligns with. Learn more about your ad choices.

There will be times that everything feels like it’s falling apart around you, like you can’t catch a break and the universe is out to get you but if you trust and have faith that things aren’t happening to you they are happening for you - you will not need to feel so burdened by them when they come and you can remember that it may have been a redirection you were waiting for all along.

Day 170 || Sustain the Vibes

Stop waiting for the other shoe to drop when good things are happening to you. You deserve good things to happen to you and they are happening because of your commitment to yourself. Just don’t forget to continue that commitment by honoring what you really need in each present moment. You are allowed to take breaks especially if the upgraded problems feel a bit heavier at first. Then you can come back realigned and excited about all these new amazing experiences in your life without feeling burd...

Day 163 || You're Grounded

Any intentional choices can ground you if you allow yourself to feel them fully. Try naming any of the senses you’re experiencing - like what you may see, feel, smell, taste, etc. if any apply to the moment. My favorite way to ground - other than intentional breath work - is through movement. That may be a walk, a workout, a dance, or a stretch. Other times it’s jumping in the nearest body of water. @MYDBpodcast is a real talk, daily motivation podcast to play while you make your bed every morni...

Day 162 || Growing Pains

That’s what we mean by upgrading your problems. But the problem is - we get so excited about manifesting this new reality we don’t allow ourselves time to breathe and enjoy the process of getting there. And we know how hard it is to implement new change - why are we so hard on ourselves when it’s difficult for us to implement new change? It’s a hard thing to do - one of the hardest things to do. But it’s important work and it guarantees your growth. @MYDBpodcast is a real talk, daily motivation ...

Day 161 || Reassurance Reassurance

We can improve our empathy skills by listening with genuine curiosity, putting ourself in other people’s shoes by asking ourselves “what if it was me” as they share their stories, and responding with our heart rather than just our head. When we can allow for feelings in our responses rather than only focusing on logic - we account for more of the whole picture. People are emotional beings - do disregard that would be to miss out on one of the most interesting and beautiful parts of humanity. @MY...

Day 158 || Pay Sh*t Off

Don’t be afraid to tackle shit head on so it doesn’t come back to bite you in the ass later. We all have baggage. Life comes at us fast sometimes and it can feel like things are stacking up against us. The sooner we come to terms with the fact that financial and emotional bullshit is going to smack us in the face sometimes, the sooner we can address it and get back to focusing in on our favorite version of ourselves.
