Consistency; it's gonna take time for everybody in that community to build that habit and build it into their schedule. And that means continuously showing up. If it's a need and a desire that you have, I bet they do too.

"It's medicine; it's an invitation into the medicine of expansion, contraction, but also where might you be invited into a different energy.”
"Every time you journal, you're opening yourself up to more insight and information about yourself.”
"If there's self judgment, it's gonna get in the way of our healing every step of the way. So if we can choose to believe that all behaviors make sense and all the ways that we are currently functioning make sense, we then can ask, well, why would it make sense? What is being reenacted in order for me to do something different this time now that I'm an adult and now that I am safe?”
"Sometimes that fear of failure keeps you in the planning stage forever. And I'm so guilty of that, where I will sit there and plan and plan and plan and never actually take the action. That is such a struggle for me. And it's that fear of failure.”
"My nervous system needs a break. And I've learned the only way to get that break is alone time. That's one of a highly sensitive person's basic needs. Just as we have to sleep, we have to eat, we have to hydrate. We need that deep connection and we need alone time.”
"I think a lot of it is really about intuition. Nothing in particular happened with me other than getting more and more unhappy. I am generally a good natured, glass half full kind of person. And I wasn't that way. I wasn't that happy go lucky person.”
"By getting to know ourselves through these different contexts, through this different understanding, through this different language, we can then also be clearer about what it is that we like and want, what it is that we don't like and we don't want.”

"You don't need to go and live in a forest or on an amazing beach to experience the season or connect with nature and the elements. Nature is around us."
"We have an incredible capacity for healing, if we just give ourselves a chance."
"Sometimes we need training wheels and sometimes we don't. Sometimes we're well-resourced enough to take on a hard thing and sometimes we're not. I look back and I feel like I would have saved myself so much angst and wasted energy by not shaming myself for whatever the place was that I was at."
"Work life balance; there's not such a dichotomy. It's not like either/or. Work is part of our life. So how you choose to make your livelihood has to be some expression of who you are."
"The chakras are energy centers. Physicists recognize that the entire universe is comprised of energy, so therefore, whether we feel like we are or not, we are a part of the universe. We are a part of all."
"How do I want to live my life so I can have the balance I really look for?"
