Occasionally, I get on here and share the words from my morning journaling. I don’t make this a regular practice (yet), AND when it happens and feels relevant I share it. The following is an excerpt from an exercise I began doing (again) recently, called “morning pages.” It’s just free thought written down (or recorded)… letting the words just flow out of your subconscious mind… well, mine. So see if it resonates with you and if you’re interested in doing mornings pages, I’ll try to remember to put a link where you can find out more about it. I didn’t create it. I learned it from a woman named Julia Cameron.
Oh, and I’m not gonna remove the typos, fix the grammar, etc. It’s important when you do stream of consciousness writing to not pause and edit. Just let it flow. Let it be a continuous stream without going back to say it better as if it’s for an audience. It’s just you and you. Got it? Okay, enjoy… or not. lol But if you don’t enjoy it, don’t tell me. Just scroll my blog page and find something else you’ll enjoy. lbvs

“I can let the present be what it is and not need it to be more than it is. I can let the moments happen and not need to define them. “What does that mean?” If this happens, then…. does that happ…? Oh, God is it all ruined? I don’t have time for that. I want to enjoy my life more. To let the moments unfold as they are. To not make it my job to keep the unpleasant moments from happening. To not feel responsible to fix every low emotion moment into a happy moment. To let people be To let me be to let LIFE be.
I don’t need to fix it. I don’t need to repair it. I don’t need to rewire it. I don’t need to be responsible for holding the world and the universe spinning on it’s axis. I don’t need to be smart and flawless and kind all the time. I don’t need to protect myself from sadness and low moments. I get to just live. Just be in the moment. Just have a real moment a real experience and I can share it or not. I don’t need to make my life about them, while I can enjoy sharing my life with them. I can live naturally and then decide to tell it. I don’t need to live purposefully so I have something to share. I get to live my own life for me and do what works for me and show up in life as me and not make it a performance because I’m Marlene Dillon Empowerment Specialist and need more empowering content for the Gram. I get to just live and occasionally grab my camera to share it. I get to just live and occasionally grab my recorder to share it. But I don’t need to manufacture moments as a content creator to be a more meaningful, purposeful, individual. I get to live my real life… my uncurated life… and allow myself to be fully present in my moments… good or bad… and let that be enough.”
