KRISTINA'S WEEKLY EMAIL OF THOUGHT-PROVOKING ESSAYS & VIDEOS TO KEEP YOU CONNECTED TO YOURSELF ON THIS JOURNEY CALLED LIFE |
Greetings!
Hope you have been enjoying the more chill holiday vibe week even if it was bringing up some stuff for you that might not always feel pleasant or relaxing. Or maybe that was just my experience!
Because like everyone else, I am going through my own deconstruction and transformation and trying the navigate the big energies of our time as best I can - and it's been a real mixed bag of ups and downs, and what sometimes feels like two steps forward, ten steps back!
We are all works in progress, so the most important thing is to be gentle and compassionate with ourselves, trust the process and move through the turbulence with as much grace and patience as possible. But it's not always easy when your five-year old self is running the show! Which is why we have to notice when that is happening and then be the kind, loving parent to ourselves who we likely did not have when we were that age....
More on that theme in a PGG at some point, but for now, today's essay is a message to tune out and tune in to yourself and see what is going on, what you need to feel good (in a healthy way) right now and to take some time to reflect on the big picture of your life and how you want to move forward.
The PGG Video of the Week reminds you to check in with yourself to navigate change during these chaotic times; this week's Instagram post talks about how I am in process and practice what I preach.
If you haven't already, be sure to follow me on Instagram or subscribe to my YouTube channel for inspirational, motivational and sometimes silly content (like this or this) in between PGGs. Also, I've recently joined Clubhouse, so if any of you are on it, be sure to follow me there @clearlykristina and maybe we can start a room to talk about some of these things - let me know what you think!
Lastly, if you look forward to and benefit from these weekly missives and PGG essays and want to show your gratitude, any donations for my efforts are welcome and appreciated here: Paypal.me/kristinaleonardi. And as always, please feel free to contact me with any comments about anything.
Big hug <3
Kristina

Slow Down, You Move Too Fast
Originally published June 1, 2010
The unofficial start of summer is traditionally accompanied by a more relaxed, go-with-the-flow kind of attitude. Years ago, re-runs were shown on a very limited number of TV channels, and there was no Internet to entice/distract/constrain us from being outside enjoying the warmer weather and longer days.
With our 21st century, 24/7 lifestyle, this means that we have to consciously take time to disconnect with technology and re-connect with Nature and ourselves.
Like that cool special effect in big blockbuster movies of our recent past and present, we need to pause midair and get a full 360 degree view of what is going on around us so that we can take the precise action to defend and/or advance who we are and what we want.
Whether in the park or at the beach, be sure to take a moment to reflect on where you really want to be going and why, rather than just moving unconsciously from one activity to the next, day after day.
If you’ve been feeling anxious or not in control, give me a buzz — I’ll take the remote out of your hand, put it on slo-mo (or even pause), and guarantee you’ll be feelin’ groovy in no time!
