What can be automated? Everyone (almost) wants to out-source the grunt work to AI, but what if being an automaton, doing those grunt-work repetitive tasks, is all there is to your life? If true for you, just know you have my prayers. Right now, I'm listening to a woman explaining how to get unstuck, which is exactly what happened to her when her child kept calling her muted phone and it got her completely off track. Ten minutes later she admitted she "lost her train of thought" again. (thanks @StephanieMurauskas) Her topic was awareness and "not letting" interruptions take over, and closing the loop. She was living proof it happens to the best of us, even we who are committed to helping others. (thanks @LaurieAnneBolianatz Bottom line, take note of the little things. Build a "small stack" of one new habit at a time to replace drudgery. As she apologized again and again, I real-eyes'd many of us forget to "whistle while we work" like one of the 7 dwarfs. I'm a stand that music has saved so many of us, literally. How about Sing a Simple Song by Sly and the Family Stone. Yeah that's it....

(had to chg the title) We are told to not be who we are and then folks FAFO! ....Please SKIP if you have NO IDEA! This video is about self-love, seen through a darker-than-blue lens. Those with background and spine are invited to watch it. (That is, the video I'm talking about in my 2+ minute introduction.) The "Keys..." is not about money. It is about heart and soul. Money is at the end of the tunnel because we live in this material vacua. What can we say? All that said, the FREE MasterClass, Keys to Black Self-Love (BSL) could be titled, Keys to Truthful Human Self-Love, but then I am biased. Yes, taking the BSL course can earn money; my affiliate link takes you directly to the FREE MasterClass on the subject. Still, the point is, the more techno we get, the more we real-eyes this pressure-cooker condition is a global one that everyone experiences at one time or another, as individuals and groups. 🥹 May you have more peace today and the rest of this week. More love. Wholeness. [Now you see why it was brilliant for Maya Angelou to write, And Still I Rise, and to inspire the documentary entitled, And Still WE Rise.]

Ok, I take my five belly breaths before and after eating. I do my leg lifts while seated at my desk, lest my belly turns to jelly. I even deeply inhale my juniper oil regularly, in hopes of building resistance to addiction behaviors! (sugar) What's not to like about the holistic health lifestyle, where every Friday is Fri-YAY and GOOD FRIDAY?

Resolve whatever you are BUMPING UP AGAINST, right now, by tapping on your chest. Where? Between the heart and the collar bone. 🦍 Like Tarzan or King Kong without the yodel or roar. But not hard, like touching rather than clutching the pearls. TRY RIGHT NOW. It could be a single or four-finger tap, light touch, pointing "at," pressing on the point, or something like an early Facebook poke. Remember those? 👋 Tap like you're tapping, So Glad To See You! on an old friend's back, except it's your front. So, with love and consideration. Emotional Freedom Techniques (TM), is Tapping's official name. It's also known as energy psychology. This genius system connects invisible body wiring with the organs, mental state, and emotions. 🥱 Tapping is a release mechanism or catalyst FOR THE FLOW OF CHI (qi, ki, prana). This universal life force is present in all matter, visible and invisible. TRY IT NOW. This is the MINDSET FOR TAPPING--> that something is healing, something is beauty-full, something is being opened and evolved. Made whole. And don't forget, you SPEAK THE TRUTH of the condition AS YOU DO IT. Now you know why Tapping/EFT is the most popular healing art in the world of alternative medicine (Reiki is a far second in the U.S.), according to Gemini. To learn more, experience a session, or consider taking my Tapping/EFT course, visit the classroom. I'll upload the Tapping Origins video on Youtube soon. There are shorts on YT and IG. Please ask about discounts! I'm considering huge slashes in pricing because this is mental health month, maternal awareness month, and a lot of other mind-related, health-related designations...according to Gemini. P.S. - The Foley grid for tapping is offered for free with attribution. Use your discretion and consult your healthcare provider before instituting any lifestyle change. (I don't teach from it in the course; this is for informational purposes only.)

1. Receive/inhale your favorite aroma, allow the good thoughts to percolate. 2. Hold a good thought as you imagine a line from the crown (top) of your head down to the midpoint between your brows. —>See this as a road or path with your favorite blooms, fruit trees, pets, or happy children rooting on either side. —>Trace this road with your fingers, going up and down from crown to 3rd eye, as if stroking the wonder, smiles and loyalty you encounter. (Sprinkle your head and this road with positivity, using one hand or both.) 3.—>Imagine walking along this road. Inhale, hold, and exhale with a sigh. However long you want. 4. Now bring to mind the problem. Let it pass like a bee buzzing or whiff smelled along the road. A picture, memory, or image may appear. 5. Receive this as the problem’s solution, even if it doesn’t seem relevant right now. Give thanks. 6. In about an hour, bring the experience to mind; recollect and focus your thoughts with another inhale of your favorite aroma. See if ”what came to mind” the first time reappears as a more viable solution or a key to it. 7. Read the above more than once, even out loud, to embed and be creative with it. You are enough and have more than enough to work with. —————- *A.R.T. stands for aromas, reiki/hand-healing, and tapping ~ my fave tools for toiling, taxed, over-givers and caregivers.
