Happy October!I was listening to a Daily Shine earlier this week and they talked about how we all have this "surge capacity", these mental and physical systems that we can use for "short-term survival in acutely stressful situations".And how we've been through so much this year that our surge capacity is depleted. I felt that in my soul. 😴 We have collectively been through a lot this year. And we're not done yet. So our body and soul just gets tired sometimes. We ended the meditation with the words: "I accept my energy as it changes."I think that is a great affirmation to take into the rest of this year. I felt it quite literally as I have been sick most of the week. Which forced me to prioritize rest and ease.So I'm keeping this intro short, while also sharing more of Morgan Harper Nichols' goodness with you:Let September be September.Let October be October.Practice stillnesswhere you need to practice stillness.Take action where you need to take action.Give energy to the thingsyou need to give energy to.Rest where you need to rest.And through it all, trust:no matter what you are waiting for,you are not simply waiting.You are growing in your capacityto be prepared for what’s to come.To read the rest, click here.On to the picks!
