Welcome to our newest series: Read Me, Sis! Call us librarians, because we're about to read y'all. Have you ever told yourself that you'll feel better after accomplishing something in the future? Maybe you want to find a new job. Maybe you're looking for a relationship. Maybe you want a new car. What about now, though? We're so focused on the future that it is difficult to be present. Many of us are stuck in the 'I'll feel better when," cycle, and that can be tough to break! When focused on what's going to happen in the future, it is impossible to focus on what is currently happening. We have to accept that we don't know exactly how we'll feel after accomplishing a goal, but we CAN accept the journey to that goal. By practicing gratitude, appreciating what we have now and being thankful for the journey we're on towards the unknown future, we can put an end to the cycle. Listen in as we talk about our experiences with the "I'll feel better when," cycle and ways we can practice being present. The time is NOW, not later! Last week, we discussed the cultivation of divine feminine energy. Use it to your advantage, homegirls! https://stream.redcircle.com/episodes/7dce107e-f62b-41c5-aac1-fff59a7993cc/stream.mp3 Interested in the retreat we mentioned?
