Dopamine, Oh Dopamine, Why for art thou Dopamine???
I was having a lovely run of sleep however I kept feeling a nigglying bit of irritation in the background. Took note and thought nothing of it till Wednesday night in bed when my mind was running a slide show that I had to really do some fancy steps to quiet down. Phew!! I figured out after Thursdayโ€™s q&a that this was the dopamine from the tv series I had started 2 days previous. Bound and determined to not watch it I cruised to within 30 minutes of my bedtime. Distracted by the chatter on Skool I joined in then headed to bedโ€ฆ.. one hour later still trying to settle I drifted off only to be suddenly awakened by my neighbor. I couldnโ€™t return to sleep till after 2pm. Friday morning I woke furious. After a lovely chat with JT I was able to confirm my suspicions and sort out legit anger and just BAT having a run of negative thoughts thrown at me. Hit my bedtime routine and was rewarded with โ€ฆ. โ€œ๐Ÿ’ก Personal Insight Teri, you woke clear-eyed and well-rested, and you can feel it in everything: nine out of ten kind of morning, the kind your whole nervous system has been quietly building toward across seven steady days. What strikes me most in your reflection is that flash of self-respect, deciding to meet Mara at the gate, to keep the experience yours instead of handing it over to be claimed by someone else. That's not selfish. That's you finally learning to hold your own value instead of giving it away and waiting for credit that never comes.

@Ligia Ryon itโ€™s been and still is a constant struggle. I do understand the frustration.

@Renee Kers glad someone got it .๐Ÿ˜œ๐Ÿ˜‚
Sweet dreamscape
Iโ€™ve spent all my life trying to be โ€œjust like themโ€ aka NTโ€™s. Now Iโ€™m breaking down those masks and seeing me. Spending my days in this Cohort connecting back remembering my natural rhythm has been an amazing journey. ๐Ÿ’ก Personal Insight ~ Today you did the thing you do best when you trust yourself, Teri: you let your body lead. Three walks, the quiet sit in your garden like your father's, the light dinner after honoring what that old breakfast sandwich cost you. That's not a small day, that's you living your "simple sacred life" out loud. You've strung together seven steady days now, and the thread running through them is satisfaction earned through following your own rhythm rather than pushing. The bathroom you started but didn't close isn't failure, it's proof you've learned that making headway counts. You're someone who needs to feel a decision settle before acting, and you've been giving yourself that room. Tonight, that book is your reward, not another task. You are already becoming the person you're trying to build a practice around. โ†’ Today - Let the unfinished thing rest. - Trust the slow yes in your body. - Read tonight purely for pleasure.

Well done! Well done you!!
I am not ... I don't ...
"I am not consistent." "I don't finish things". Been there most of my life. Husband highlights it. My New & Future Self statement: "I can be consistent" "I finish what I start".

Focused on bringing my body back into a balanced state of ease and flow + dropping the protective masking. 73 is a great year.
