π¬ I needed to practice what I preach.
Hello from Taos, Natalie!
I've been in New Mexico all week, attending (rather than leading) a retreat for a change.
Damn, did I need this.
Things for me were feeling a little meh. βFine.β
Life - especially my creative life - was feeling same-old-same-old.
I'm so glad for this walk-my-talk moment.
I've taken long walks under a giant New Mexican sky. Attended inspiring workshops with interesting new friends. Slept, deeply and a lot.
I've enjoyed meal after meal not made by me. And most importantly: I'm enjoying enough time and space to hear my inner-inner-inner voice.
The amusing point here? This really, simply is a taste of my own medicine. I'm doing ~ e x a c t l y ~ what I encourage other people to do.
So lemme ask:
my dear helping friends -
you coaches and teachers and creatives and parents, you -
how would it help you to do a little more Practice What You Preach?
Where might you benefit from a loving dose of your own medicine?
It makes sense, but is still strange: the wisdom and perspective we offer the world is very often exactly the wisdom and perspective we ourselves need.
Apply liberally.
love,
Natalie
