I don't know why but this made me emotional. This is exactly what I needed to hear right now

Some of your points are similar to a principle I have called 'ths science of showing up' - just showing up, even if you don't end up staying very long or doing anything at all. Simply showing up is half the battle.

I really appreciated seeing this today — “seeing discipline as an act of self-devotion” is an absolute game changer , so glad my feed dropped this tasty model into my lap this afternoon ♥️

This is so helpful! I often get too attached to the outcome, which prevents me from even starting in the first place. But I love how you said to just start where you are- you don’t need a lot of fancy things to act as barriers to just getting going. Thank you for this inspiration!

This gave me so much peace to read. I have always been a person who has felt rushed and planned every step of the way to a certain goal, not being ready to stumble already on step 2. I have struggled to find a balance and calmness when trying to achieve something, and this really set me on the right path. <3

Definitely needed to read this. I just moved to a new country (Germany!) and have been kind of waffling! There's so much I want to do, and I need to build out the structure to do it while also allowing things to breathe and be playful. Bookmarking this for sure 🖤
