I am so interested in how the different seasons, particularly the movements of the moon, inspire my creativity. Pisces gift that child-like naivety and a lack of fear to start things, but at times little direction and an immature abandonment; I am working through both of these patterns with awareness and care and taking these affirmations with me. Usually these projects and ideas begin taking proper fiery form in the astrological new year, I hope they do for you too!
This is so true and I'm the same. always paying attention to the shifts in me as the moon moves through cycles etc. I also really love your point about the later stage of Piscean enthusiasm sometimes with creativity - abandonment and naivety. Definitely a nice reminder to pay attention to. Thanks for these insights <3
This was much needed. I've been feeling very overwhelmed and on the brink of burnout (again). From the outside looking in, I know the world sees me thriving in my creative career, but I seriously am realizing that I have to take more moments for quiet and stillness. I'm constantly learning how to listen to my body instead of forming judgements of myself and my productivity. Thank you so very much for sharing, reading this felt like a breath of fresh air. I'll definitely be using these affirmations this week.
I feel you. I would say that the overwhelm, even while predictable, can really take some grounding and some stillness to counter. It is a constant relearning like you say. I hope you find it and ease back into gentler rhythms at your own pace. Thank you so much for sharing this with us and being here
"I do not house survival mode, I unlearn those behaviors with gladness" I'm saying this as much as possible this week. mmm yes thank you for this! My body has so much to say but I'm currently needing to develop the safe space for it to speak. The body can not be truthful to me and worried about survival at the same time.
You're welcome, I'm so glad this found you. Also: 'My body has so much to say but I'm currently needing to develop the safe space for it to speak.' this is perfect, I am keeping this as wisdom for later. Thank you so much
“I let sweetness and surrender settle into the spine” what a gift that arrangement of words was! I read this over and over, and as I did I could almost see little pockets of surrender wiggling their way in between vertebrae. Thank you, so much, Amara
I've just recently subscribed, and I wanted to say that as someone who's looking to rest, this line really spoke to me:
"Maybe you are here too, needing to nurture and confront your humaness while the rest of you is recharging. We can plant ourselves in quieter spaces together."
It just asked me to pause within the sentence itself, and to just breathe, even for a moment.
So thank you for sharing this, and I look forward to your writings!
Athira! Thank you so much for this comment. I love seeing which lines resonate most with readers. I hope your pause lasts as long as you need it and your breath is restorative. Also, thanks for including this letter in your recent post. I deeply appreciate the reference ❤️
"I let sweetness and surrender settle into the spine"
thank you for this tenderness today, amara <33 reciting these affirmations aloud as the sun warms my face--it feels like a love letter from the universe.
and thank you for the shoutout! how lucky are we to share love and softness together.
mmm I love the way that sounds. Affirmations and solar energy <3 So glad this reached you and as ever, thanks for being here so beautifully. It's a real honour to be in community with you.
so beautiful <3 that quote from Elizabeth Gilbert's post also stood out to me / deeply hit last week! I love your offerings, your words so beautiful. Thank you for creating, crafting, and sharing <3 <3
thank you for being here and offering such loving words about this space, it means a lot! That Gilbert quote is the quote the world needs!! I truly feel that society disconnects us from listening to our bodies and our intuition. I am so glad you felt it deeply too <333
🧡🧡 I was just driving home from dropping off my son at school and thinking about this. My body is beckoning for movement. Instinctually, I go to, “I could shove a high intensity workout into the 30 mins I have.” But I realize that suggests to my nervous system that I am unsafe. Things are scarce. Time is oh so limited.
This entire response is it. I feel like there is this urge to go harder than usual and I am glad I'm not the only one monitoring and gently inviting something softer. I am glad you chose the yoga mat instead, I think I'll take that cue too. And you are welcome, glad the affirmations did their work <3

Instead I will play and rest on my yoga mat.
Those affirmations had me weepy 🥹 Thank you 🧡🧡
