Your perception of the world around you is not the same as what is actually occurring.

Don’t worry. But whatever you do, don’t worry if you are worried!
If you pay really close attention to your moment to moment experience, you’ll be amazed to find you don’t have any idea how you do the things you do.
Do you know how you think?
Do you know how you walk?
Nobody does, they just do it.
But we’re so caught up in it all that we’ve confused ourselves and keep getting wound around ourselves. We keep tripping over ourselves trying so hard to make things happen the right way.
Instead of slowing down, looking closely, and discovering that it’s all happening on its own.
We’re not doing it; it’s doing us.
Don’t resolve to do or be anything in the future. Be here now. This is it.
Drove out to Coquitlam to drop off Sandie's old licence plates. ~25 minutes each way. I had way more fun than I could have imagined, thinking out loud and letting anything and everything through me. Laughing and singing, shouting and making weird sounds.
I left Voice Recorder running the whole time, and discovered that my car is a great space for capturing vocals. Unfiltered, unrestrained, free expression while driving.
I want to collect more snippets of audio, text and imagery this week to make some sort of multimedia synthesis this weekend!
Uncertainty is only ever a problem when you’re attached to a particular outcome.

Our first visit with the parents in almost four weeks ☺️
Be like water. Surrender attachments, conclusions, so you can flow with life. Yielding in this way reveals the source of your power.
Suffering is the result of identifying with your thinking.
But if you look closely you will realize that you can't control which thoughts come to mind.
When you see this, you will stop blaming yourself for "bad" thoughts and experience great relief. Then you are left with true curiosity—a kind of wonderful, open mind that is waiting to see what thought arises next.
We held our monthly VIDA session in Lighthouse Park today.
We drank hot cacao in the Sprinter van before embarking on our forest walk. It was pouring rain at times, and I was barefoot.
Deleted YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn from my iPhone and iPad this morning.
Edit (Jan 17): re-downloaded Instragram two days later and set a short app limit (experimenting with seven minutes) using Apple's Screen Time feature. Responding to direct messages burns through my daily limit, but it keeps me hyper-focused when I am in the app. Sometimes I will draft a message outside Instagram and then copy it in when I'm ready to send. I am spending 30-45 minutes less each day on Instagram than I was just a week ago.

You don’t have to ruminate on things.
When you relax and let go, inspired ideas will come to you.
