Transitions, Surrender & Radical Prioritization
BIG Transitions
Anyone else feel like they’ve spent the last six months inside of a rocket hurling through space with no idea where the heck you’ll land? No? Just me?? ๐๐ซ ๐คฆ๐ปโโ๏ธย Oof.
It’s been a BIG year of transitions over here, from living nomadically to switching things up behind the scenes here at Monday Vibes to family drama and getting sick to taking on some huge, exciting and scary projectsโit’s been a lot โบ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐ป

And the truth is, I’m starting to melt into the floor with exhaustion! โ๏ธ It takes A LOT to experience, process and catch up with all the changes, but in all this twisting and turning, in the midst of all these hard feelings, I’ve been learning to SURRENDER. ๐ณ๏ธ I know, I know, that’s a buzzword, ๐ฌ but damn, have we actually figured out what it means to surrender yet? I know I haven’t. ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
For now, what I know is this: Some days surrender looks like calling it quits, crawling into bed and reading my fave new YA book, some days it looks like reprioritizing where I’m spending my time, some days it looks like practicing my self care rituals so I’m rested enough to cope with what life hands me ๐บ
I’m still trying to find my new rhythm, it’s always evolving, but there’s one thing for sure that I keep getting reminded of…I’m here for the rocket ship ride, whether I like it or not, so I might as well buckle up and surrender to the views. ๐๐ฉ๐ปโ๐

Say it with me: I allow myself to surrender.
Speaking of Priorities
In the midst of all this transition and inner change, I’ve found radical prioritization to be my best friend. ๐ฅ I’m cutting out EVERYTHING โ๏ธ that doesn’t light me up.
I won’t lie, that’s not been easy, but geez, it’s crazy how many things we do just because we think we “should”. Fuck that. ๐ ๐ปโโ๏ธ
I’m embracing a season of “Fuck It” and doing only what feels like a truly aligned priority. It’s liberating and terrifying. But if it’s not a hell yes, it’s a hell no. Amirite?!
Just HAD to Share!
This made me smile! Hope this lifts your mood as much as it did mine ๐ผ
June was a doozy, so let’s all be extra gentle with ourselves, mkay? LOVE YOU ๐
