“I feel like I can’t do anything on time right now. This caller explained that they have been missing appointments, unable to clean up after themselves, and just really scatter-brained. They asked, when or if you are in this sort of state of mind, how do you get through it, how do you get out of it, and how do you talk to yourself nicely when you’re in it?”
“I think just being gentle with yourself, taking in the landscape. The longer we go in this pandemic, the more normalized it becomes. In some ways that’s good and soothing, and in other ways it makes me forget how gentle I really need to be with myself. These are not normal times.”
“What advice do you have for wedding planning? ”
“I think a mood board with stickie notes, maybe think of some color ways and energy you want and songs you love, think of smells you like, really sensory things. I think instead of focusing on the exact facts of the path, really be like how do I want it to feel? How do I want the physical space to feel? How do I want to feel? How does my partner want to feel? What are the dreams and visions of our partnership and how can we incorporate that into the day?”
“How do you know what you’re supposed to do with your life?”
“ Build your choice-making skills. Where do you tap into your intuition? Do you go for walks? Do you light candles? Do you run it by a trusted fellow or friend?
Do you go see a psychic? Do you have a mentor? Do you have a grandparent? Do you have a neighbor? Think really bouncing ideas with other people and
yourself. Don’t run it by too many voices, the only one that matters is yours. And you might stray, right? It’s not always going to be easy but I think you’ll find the way. ”
