Stripes: my newest Tiny-Huge Life-Changing Practice

from Overwhelm is Optional Hosted by Heidi Marke

I’ve been waking regularly thinking about stripes. My mind was very focused on all the things I had to do, all the bookings in my calendar - the black stripes. I noticed that this focusing on the stuff to do felt like pressure and was resulting in feelings of overwhelm that needed to be shifted before I could start my day. I wanted to start my day in a lighter way. After all, overwhelm is optional and it’s definitely not how I move through the world at my best. And also, I like the stuff in my calendar! I put it there after all. This feeling of heaviness needed to be gently rebelled against. I started to play with focusing on the space between the obligations - the white stripes. It feels so much better! Listen to this week’s episode to find out more.
