The cages you live in: Understanding social conditioning

Scribbled Notes

Much as we would like to take up permanent residence in happyville, the fact is that we need to make space for numerous things that do not spark joy. A dentist’s visit, filing your taxes, dealing with an illness, or being a caregiver are just some of the experiences that most of us have had to — or will have to — deal with at various points during our life.

A new year gives us the opportunity to start things on a fresh slate...to renew.

I sit, curled up on the couch, a mug of steaming black coffee warming my hands, watching the early morning light filter through the window. The birds are chirping on the tree outside, and in the distance, I can faintly hear an excavator as it digs the foundation of a new building that is being constructed nearby.

In a word that focuses on the hustle, going slow is a radical act of rebellion.

Brainstorming session this weekend. Going through my book notes + journals to create an idea list for new articles.
