Stuff You’ve Gotten Away From
What’s some stuff you’ve gotten away from that you’d like to re-invite back into your life? It’s so easy to get caught up in things that don’t matter to us at the end of the day. At the end of the day, how do you feel? Were you satisfied with what you did? Every day we live with our results. You are the one making the decisions and experiencing the outcome(s).
This comes down to being more conscious and aware of our time. If you value your time, you’re going to want to spend it wisely. Time is probably our most valuable asset. When it’s gone, it’s gone for good. Are you happy with where the time is going, or would you say it’s being wasted on stuff that’s unimportant or trivial?

Do any items on your lists stand out to you? Which resonates with you most? It’s fun to ride the wave of inspiration. Sometimes we don’t always feel like doing something we’ve been doing a while. They say variety is the spice 🌶 of life. Who’s they? 😂 But yeah, it’s cool to mix up your routine. It’s cool to live in the moment and to feel which would energize you most. We needn’t be locked into one particular outlet or endeavor. Leonardo da Vinci had his fingies and toesies in many different pots — and tha dude was a MUTHA FUCKIN genius!
It’s nice to reassess where your time is going. Sometimes we get caught up in the minutia of things. Pay attention to what feels good and what feels right. Follow that flow of inspiration and energy. Boredom can be a good sign to mix it up. Reality is always asking, “how would you like to use today’s most valuable asset?”
