sacred. "the power, being or realm understood by someone to be at the core of existence & have a transformative effect on their lives & destinies." my morning routine is sacred. as the sun rises, i rise. I find ways to create positive momentum, and ground myself in these transition moments. i’m beginning to settle again. settle into a routine that is far from strict but is something i chose to implement everyday.
i journal every morning to understand myself and to remain the observer of my thoughts. its almost a release to put words down. some are just words & others have meaning and action behind them. when I filmed this episode, I was not in the best mood. but I chose to keep these takes for the rawness of this series. college has taught me that you have to sit in those really uncomfortable moments for a day or two. or for a week. but to get out of them you have to actually reflect. write it down, talk it out, cry it out. or you’ll stay exactly where you are.
i also find comfort in movement and in my solitude. most mornings i chose to take time for my mind, body, and soul. tapped out of the whirl of the media and the projections from other people. movement has helped me release the tension in my physical form and ease into the rest of my day. i dissociate quite often from my physical body so meditating has helped me to come back to it without attachment.
i think we should all take time to get to know ourselves more through a routine unique & sacred to ourselves...
