holidays as a sensitive creative🦋 this time of year can be: - overwhelming (family dynamics, expectations, over stimulation) - lonely (if you don't have family or celebrate differently) - creatively stagnant (too much noise, not enough space) - financially stressful - all of the above if you're having a hard time right now, you're not alone. as we move toward the end of the year, there's often this pressure to have it all figured out and to set big goals for january. but what if we approached it differently? what if we reflected without judgment? what if we honored what was, without needing it to be more? here are some gentle practices for this week: 🌙 the year in feelings: instead of listing accomplishments, write down the emotions you felt most this year. what do they tell you about what you need moving forward? 🦋 the release ritual: write down what you're ready to let go of from this year. burn it, bury it, or tear it up. let it go without needing to understand why. ✨ the gratitude practice (but make it real): what surprised you this year? what challenged you? what taught you? gratitude doesn't have to be pretty. 🤍 the gentle inventory: what brought you energy this year? what drained you? use this to guide your choices next year. 💫 the permission slip: write yourself permission to enter the new year exactly as you are - imperfect, uncertain, still figuring it out, or even excitement for what's coming✨ no pressure to do any of these or engage here. just offerings for those who need them. how are you really doing right now?⬇️ (and if you're not ready to share, just comment 🌙 so we know you're here) wishing u all a peaceful week❄️

vibe check: where are you at right now? 🌙 creatively, emotionally, energetically. choose your current state: 🌑 in the void (nothing's flowing, feeling stuck) 🌘 releasing (letting go of what's not working) 🌗 in between (transitioning, uncertain) 🌖 building (ideas forming, momentum growing) 🌕 full flow (creating, aligned, energized) 🌔 integrating (processing what you've created) drop your moon phase below 👇 if you're in the void, know you're not alone. every phase is important to prepare you for the next one. let it exist without judgment & tune into what you are being called to shed or grow into🦋
