 I think something I’m learning right now is to truly just sink into the present moment. It’s 𝘸𝘪𝘭𝘥 how much stress and tension we create and store in our bodies based off of stories we create, habitual patterns and this weird addiction a lot of us have to being stressed. We live in a society that glorifies the hustle; the grind; the chase. So much so that when we are met with a moment of silence, pause, presence; many of us are actually uncomfortable with that stillness. The quiet is a little 𝘦𝘦𝘳𝘺. So lately I’ve been trying to tap into this energy of stillness, this energy of quiet; simplicity. 𝗛𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗧𝗼𝘅𝗶𝗰 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗺 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗹 𝘆𝗼𝘂:
What I want to begin doing is dismantling some of these myths with you all and myself; and empower us all to live, breathe, eat, love and even consume from a conscious place of love and universal consciousness together. 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮 𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗹𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲...
What are your thoughts on toxic productivity? I think the first step we can take to begin healing from this is asking the question of How do you feel when you aren’t doing? Let me know in the comments below.

 So, the last two weeks of September and the first week and a half of October didn't really go as planned.... But, in its place, DIVINE ALCHEMY occurred. - I reconnected with REST and what that actually looks like - I found a newfound LOVE and deep appreciation for my friends, family and connections in my life - I found gratitude in the little things again. For example, fresh squash at the super market, hearing my favorite song play on the speaker at the grocery store, my super soft sheets fresh out of the dryer, the smell of yummy fall candles... I think we are all moving through this major shift too, as a collective. The more people I speak to, the more I see this mirrored back to me. It's like we are all finally really beginning to see what matters most to us in this life... These things we identified with SO strongly in our past...our job title, our bank accounts, our body, our looks....are being tested to show us...we are MUCH MORE than those things.  The past month...
- While my identity with my physical appearance crumbled due to acne break-outs and weight-gain, it created space for me to foster a connection with my body as a vessel and tool versus accessory or decoration - While my identity with my bank account/income crumbled due to a "failed" (we enrolled 5/10 of our targeted goal, and those 5 ladies are legit amazing beautiful soul clients...but...alas the ego does its thing) enrollment, it created space for me to get to know my soul-clients on a much deeper, more profound level... - While my identity with specific offerings crumbled, it created space for me to fully think and meditate on how to offer more and serve my community from my heart-space and not my head - While my shadow-self and old conditioning around being vulnerable and getting close to others crumbled, it created space for some of the strongest bonds to form in my personal life with my soul tribe So, as we end 2020....remember, it's not over, but allow some things to crumble, too. When things fall apart, it creates space for the NEW to come in. I love you. Jessica Winans CEO Ultravioletly Aligned, LLC. Authenticity + Vulnerability = Strength |
