Intuition
Cultivating inner knowing
A question currently animating me about the inner life/spirit is:
How can I cherish more my relationships moving through time and space?
A question currently animating me about the outer world/universe/multiverse is:
Are sources of creativity within me or out there and how can I channel them through my art?
The practices I’m finding most helpful at the moment are:
Journaling, Other, Creating Music/Art
A moment I noticed my inner light kindled this month was:
When I got to meet two of my best friends who I have not seen in two years and at the same time I got in contact with a new type of art, slam poetry. Being able to reconnect wit my friends through the poetics of slam was a core memory and remembered me how I cherish this friends.
A moment I noticed my inner light dwindled this month was:
When I had to redo my plans for Morehead Cain. I felt again the beautiful monster of external validation taking part of me. I felt less. But I invited this beautiful monster to the table and learned how valuable that feedback was to rethink my trip to explore more best self.
Courage
Aligning action
Assumptions I'm examining right now are:
Time/Attention, Money
I originally assumed:
My family is struggling w/ finances, I felt guilty about spending money in myself. I felt egoistic. I never had such ammount of money just for myself and it felt odd not to share. Money wasn't common growing up > I was still feeling that money = happiness or part of it.
These assumptions are changing:
I had 1:1 with Ari, and I reflected on what my parents always say to me: that my happiness and my freedom is the biggest payment thwy could ever ask from me. They never asked anything from me, always giving a lot. Our cherished time together is our most sacred wealth.
A moment I stepped out of my comfort zone this month was:
I interviewed applicants as an Admissions Officer at LALA. It was my first time doing all my myself, I felt the pressure of creating a safe space, but as soon as the interviews begin, I just let my genuine curiosity and my intuition guide my questions and it felt right.
Compassion
Engaged Empathy
A peer in The Flight School community I am grateful to is:
Tristan Herrero Picard
Something that is helping me build trusting relationships here is:
Reaching out. As someone who is not used to reach out to people that much, I am founding incredible the conversations I am having by just reaching out to people. Also, just developing my conversation skills is a plus, I am having such beautiful chats since I started working on it
