If you’re wanting to be of service to the world, this post was a lovely contribution. ‘Peace over proving’ really stood out to me, and dovetails with my recent experience of re-discovering my core essence in the wake of misfortune; pleasantly surprised that deep down and close in, there is no need to prove myself ‘worthy’ of love
Finding the work/life balance in *anything* can be difficult, especially when work can be anything you put yourself into gear to do.
I really appreciate you sharing your experience with the downshifting to this style of gear. It’s kind of like the gears on a car where if you’re on terrain that can’t quite get traction, those gears are there to help gain the control needed.
Maybe that’s not as great a metaphor as it was in my head… 😆 regardless, it’s nice to see that in a world that seems to endlessly turn at a speed that’s hard to match most of the time, that taking things at your speed is the thing to focus more on.
I've been known to swing radically in my fierceness, too. it's changed a LOT in recent years & the hardest part was recognizing the pattern not just in work, but in so many (even small) aspects of my life (including relationship). good that you see it!! xoxo
Lovely to see your name pop up in my inbox and hear about where you’re at 🤗 I can relate to a lot of this ~ whether I have a film job or I’m in between working on my own projects, often very similar frantic energy shows up either way. Getting better over time at finding peace in both.
