New Year Preset

I've been reflecting on the past year about my habits, my goals, the results, and how I feel about all of it. I also am thinking about what I want in 2025. What do I want to keep consistent with? What do I want to change? And I'm one of those people who works with a word or a theme for each year. Plus, I come up with a cheeky motto that helps me not take myself too seriously/boosts my humor. As I was considering 2024 and the move to 2025, a few areas of growth needs came to mind. Then I had a thought, a question...that I want to share here. What if what I make believe is true is true? By this I mean, if I focus on my own feelings and perception as an outcome, I have more control of manifesting the outcome. For example, one of my goals for 2024 is "be strong in my body." In one sense, I have real setbacks this year: A knee injury from years ago keeps flaring up. I have plantar fasciitis, which has me moving a bit more carefully, slowly, and in pain.

Plants bless us in many ways...... The food we eat   How we show someone we love them Sending thoughts in times of Grief Medicine / Herbalism Ceremonial Beauty all around us Mutual sharing of life.

To push back on our greed and our striving, and to reject the ways we might ask others to toil and labor thanklessly for us.   How can we be kind and grateful? To see the beauty and the blessing and not ask for too much.  We remember that every harvest won’t be perfect.    We sit with the sad parts too - hunger, pests, sharing with rascally animals we d...

Content and Authentic

Happy Mental Health Monday!  Here’s a little post about overcoming addiction.  This is from my personal perspective, not meant as professional health advice. (For a different option, here is the National Institute on Drug Abuse approach.) I hope you find this caring and nonjudgmental.  Maybe it is helpful even if you aren’t specifically dealing with addiction, but simply striving to be your content and authentic self. My perception is that every story of addiction is different. Using the Enneagram, I identify my personality as type 7- The Enthusiast, and that means I’m motivated by pain avoidance.  So in my perspective, the main plot is that a person feels bad and uses something to feel something other than that bad feeling. At some point the use can shift to abuse; in other words, the use hurts health - physical, mental / emotional, and/or relational. The use/abuse brings more bad feelings, and leads away from the life the person wants.  I’m using the ...
