I am reminded of Ghost of a Podcast, in which so many weeks seem to be "... this is going to trigger issues of identity and/or core wounding ..." and how so often we just need to take time to breathe into both existence and our values. And then do the next right thing, the smallest step, whatever it is. 💖
Loved the writing and your colorful photos, Lindsey. Two of swords seems so fitting for your angsty time. It's unnerving to think of making a binary decision, one way or the other, no going back--blindfolded! Hope you find some safe and comfortable space and feel more grounded and at ease soon.
The energy is really strange for me right now. It feels like my brain is going a mile a minute, but my body is slogging through mud. It’s hard to reconcile the two. But like you touched upon, the answer lies somewhere in the middle. Slowing down. Getting back to basics.
Thanks for reading, Christine. I tried to go back and find the post where she mentioned it but no luck. I remember though that she was writing about burnout.
Thanks for this, Lindsey. I am right there with you, and I don't even have kids. :/ I think awareness is key, and being mindful about taking breaks, eating well, and exercising and sleeping well. Sounds so simple, doesn't it?

Yes, even the tiniest next right thing can bring some solidity. And I forgot about that podcast - going to have to take a listen again!

I relate to this!! Yes a frenetic stuckness?!
The quote about open loops activating the nervous system resonates so much! Love your piece today.

Thanks for reading and for restacking - I’m still learning all the features here and I am not very savvy. lol.
It is such weird times, take care of yourself 🩷
It does sound simple... until I’m shoveling chocolate and ramen into my mouth to cope 😂
