picture this:
your nerves are getting worked overtime today! 😵💫
it seems as if it’s one thing after the other:
- after making the perfect cup, you spill your beverage… on yourself
- someone accidentally knocks over something that belongs to you… + breaks it
- you’re on time until you can’t find your keys, so now you’re running behind your schedule… + then you find a nail in your tire
- instead of greeting you with “hello”, the first thing out of someone’s mouth is a request…
+ that all happens before 9 am! 🥴
what’s your initial response how things are playing out, fam?
’cause let’s be real: there isn’t a time where a complaint (or a loud scream) didn’t seem completely appropriate in this scenario 😂
today, instead of complaining, challenge yourself to remain present + to feel what it feels like to exist in this moment.
complaints are based on past experiences, so invite yourself to the present + you’ll find that you have absolutely to complain about right now!
do your best to not get overwhelmed by the circumstances of the day.
you’re bound to feel some feels today, so treat your feelings as feedback + adjust accordingly.
after feeling what you feel, you can choose to stay there in those feelings.
you can also choose to come back to the present + feel the calm, the joy, the peace, + the love this moment brings.
persisting beyond your current circumstances is a challenge, fam —
there isn’t a guarantee that it will be easy to shift gears + come back to the present; however, there is life that transcends beyond even the most shittiest moments in your life.
gratitude is where life on your own terms truly begins.
experience a full + rich life by opening up the floodgates of gratitude + living in it today.
be you, be dope!

journal prompt(s) for today:
recall a time where you came face-to-face with your very real feelings today + joy down what you did to persist in expressing gratitude:
- what happened?
- how did you feel in that moment?
- did you allow your feelings to overtake your spirit of gratitude? (this isn’t a right or wrong answer, this is a very real one)
- what did you do to recalibrate + achieve equanimity?
- in what ways to choose to express gratitude for the present?
