Letter To My Lazy
Hey lazy within me,
You are no longer welcome! Unless I call on you!
Reconnection time. To beat the uninspired moments with the authentic me. The real time I need.
So I lay on my belly on the earth and I let it pour out.
All the stimulation, all the things we feel like we need to do. Or have to do. I want to shut it all off right now and connect with my inner being and the nature around me.
I just got a glimpse of Sam and I on the beach in Sumbawa, Indonesia doing yoga, a few of our friends up on shore and a few other travelers we have met are out surfing the blue waves. Our skin glowing from the inside out, every movement symbolizing the connection we have with our bodies, gratitude in every inhale and exhale for land beneath our feet and the people we meet.
I remember being in Southeast Asia, and I couldn't help myself there at the end - wondering what I would do once I returned home. I want to get back out there, and travel with purpose. I see women like me, doing it - out there living on the road, constantly moving, writing, doing yoga, and photography. I would love to do that. I am doing that. I know I can write, I took a creative writing course in college and had so much fun.
I know I need to get focused on my future and what's next. Especially for a gal like me, wanting to do and experience so many different things. No one is going to do this for me. No one is going to feel bad for me. Each day that goes by and I am not doing what I love is another wasted day of time, space, and energy. I want time, space, and energy to benefit from my existence. My energy is the same energy that the universe is made of. I have the potential to create positive ripples out in the world.
Feeling called to explore, expand, evolve and enlighten my body, mind, spirit, and soul. Being ambitious is a beautiful thing. I won’t let anyone tell me otherwise. Or if they do, I would keep an open mind, ear, and heart to hear why and what has shaped them to believe this.
May each of us: Explore as far as we wish. Expand to our potential. Evolve beyond our dreams. Enlighten with every breath we take.
I always grew up bringing love and light with me everywhere I went. Ever since being home from my trip I have felt a bit lazy, uninspired, and while I really don’t know where it's stemming from: I no longer allow it to have such a hold on me. I know to shift my energy I have to shift the things I am doing! It takes effort, and work.
So I wish to write with my heart.
I wish to make photographs with my soul.
I wish to learn, grow, and share with my spirit.
Being a human we have so many different choices and ways we can exist. There are so many different pieces that make up our being. I wish to use all my pieces in my experience. Balancing out the mind, body, spirit, and soul takes work but I know it can be done. I know I can do it through my fiery passion to live and my heart that's full of love!
I love you!
Lazy no longer lives here,
Demi
