femmyst | everyday alchemy embodiment & ecosystem Rinse & Repeat Clarity|Discernment|Balance|ActionDo you have a safe word for self awareness? | part 3→ clarity forming, reforming, upgrading you have done the internal work. now you are taking it out. stress testing the design, the beliefs, the architecture, in real living conditions with real people. this is awareness 2.0.→ do you have a safe word never before in history have we been looking at ourselves this much. mirrors everywhere. global exposure. information overload. hyper self-awareness can become a further punishment, a further perfectionism. narcissus had no safe word. know yours. know when to back off and just be a human.→ wants and needs evolve by season what you needed four months ago is not necessarily what you need now. the inward season eventually signals it is time for the outward season. recognise when you are spinning in the same spot and drilling into something that has become a drain. your social battery needs growing again. that is a want too.→ what you say you want vs what your choices say these are two different data sets. look at both. the discernment you build out in the ecosystem with real people is different from the discernment you had in the interior. the variables have changed. so has the clarity required.→ two competing operating systems the old way and the new way running simultaneously. thin film overlays where you can see two options, two perspectives. like the two faces and the vase. once you see both you cannot pretend there is only one thing to see. you get more dynamic at weighing which lens takes priority without holding it against yourself.→ celebrate the old self not thank god I am not that person anymore. that stance has already flipped. it is more like: look at the many forms I have taken. look at how creative I have been at adapting. look at the projects, the relationships, the things I got into. we do not spend enough time celebrating. give yourself credit for the distance already covered.→ the last day of school every time I have left something I have outgrown, it starts with repellence. come on, come on, let it end already. and then inevitably it shifts into nostalgia. I am going to miss these people. the familiar creep. the click of the new happening. learn your unique signals for when a chapter is closing. they are always there if you look.→ the unlatch moment the roller coaster cresting the hill. hands in the air. catching a little air. here we go. and then: starfishing into the sun. gliding. totally unclenched. not gripping. sailing. that is the moment. that is the whole thing.╼☩╾for a specific few: • ⧼the one who has been rushing past the old self on the way to the new one, 12:51 is the permission to stop and look back⧽────────
