"If you're exhausted about your heart's obsession with the fixed past and your mind's focus on an uncertain future, your lungs are the perfect place for you." 

I love this line from John Roedel's poem, My Brain and Heart Divorced. It's just divine.

There's always a bit of organisation in my world, but I think this is the week. It's the week to get things done. 

For today's Standing Observation, we're revisiting an old episode about the stories we all got, shit that happened to us and people did to us. These stories are like boxes. We need to process our stories and move forward without carrying these boxes.

I reckon we're disconnected from ourselves. I think we've just lost who we are because we're so busy. I think being connected to yourself comes from space. I love just sitting down and thinking about what's going on, what my focuses are, what I need to do, what I have to do and what I want to do.

Transforming yourself is a lovely opportunity and you might need a tablespoon of courage or bravery. This is the year of transformation. Have a think about what you'd like to transform. How could you be braver? 

How much of a luxury is it to have the first week of December, just to think about what you want to create, be, do and have in 2026? That's what I'll be doing. I'm literally off the grid and just 100% focused on repotted. We plant dreams, we pull out weeds, and we grow the next stage of our lives.

So I've decided this summer as the summer of my body. It's the summer of just leaning into looking after my body. What it means is being really gentle with her and exercising her in a in a loving and gentle way.

I'm going to give myself a slow Monday because I don't normally have a slow Monday. I just needed to have some space.

Go through your calendar today, find some little gaps. Find some space where there's nothing and just block it out and pretend you've got something on.

I like the idea of a MeToo movement for everything. It's lovely when you've got someone that understands you. Go and find someone you've got something in common with.

I really like Karla Sorensen's quote that says worrying is like trying to win a race while you're sitting on a rocking horse. Worrying is worshipping a problem. I've been talking to lots of people recently about worrying and worrying an advance, like just getting so ahead in, so worried about shit that may or may not happen.
