Happy morning, everyone.
How was your full moon yesterday? Did you read, write, complete a deadline, or get something important checked off your to-do list? Usually, I take it pretty easy on full moons — I’m more energized by new moons, personally — but everyone is different and is charged at different points in the lunar cycle. (Googling the lunar phase you were born under can help you pinpoint this!)
As we head into the weekend, a few questions to come together and reflect on the week — and the end of the month. Feel free to answer them in the comment section below, or privately in your own journal.
Here at the end of January, what has felt restorative for you, creatively, and what has felt draining, or like it’s no longer working?
What projects are exciting you? What feels challenging?
Conversely, have any projects hit a plateau? Do they feel stuck in that way of just needing time on the back burner to simmer — or is there something deeper going on?
What books, essays, poems, or other work are you reading that is reminding you of what is possible when you let yourself stretch and be unrestrained by expectations, by the “shoulds” and “oughts”?
