You might think “do what makes you happy... you only live once.” But what happens when other people depend on you? When you have responsibilities, a career, a family, bills to pay… and yet a life that doesn’t quite feel like your own?You can do all the calming things - spa days, meditate, practice “self-care,” regulate your nervous system… BUT “You can’t self-care your way out of a life that is not in alignment.” (Cory Muscara)In this episode, I explore what it means to stop living for other people’s approval, question the cultural conditioning that tells us what our lives are supposed to look like and find a way to honor our responsibilities without abandoning ourselves in the process.Because the goal isn't to blow up your life and “follow your bliss” at the expense of all else.It’s to build a life - to consciously choose HOW - you want to be living.victory to the light withinwork with me: jonorsini.com🔔 subscribe for a new episode of mindfulness unscripted EVERY WEDNESDAY (youtube, apple, spotify, substack)practical mindfulness for actual lifeJon Orsini is a somatic breathwork guide on the faculty at Kripalu Center and an award winning Broadway actor - helping you release what's holding you back to feel, perform and live better. jonorsini.com#breathwork #somaticbreathwork #nervoussystemregulation #anxietyrelief #kripalucenter #stressrelief #somatichealing #meditation

This matcha fueled rant hits on many concepts but all coming back to two central themes:

1) Penetrate one thing deeply enough and reveal the whole universe, and

2) Creating space for responsiveness (rather than reactivity) leads to new choices in relationship, and interaction by interaction we can re-pattern our nervous system to move from surviving to thriving.It all begins with breath.
