Lesson 179: Keep Moving

“If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”

— Martin Luther King

Today we are to contemplate the Martin Luther King quote. What will we do that keeps us moving forward?

I think what’s important with this quote that small tracks are better than no tracks. Change doesn’t have to be drastic. In fact, based on the quote, even the smallest of changes makes all the difference. I think that’s what I’ve really learned this year. As long as you go at your own pace and want to improve to be the best version of yourself, then that’s all that matters. Don’t live on other people’s terms but live by what you need. The best person that knows your needs is YOU.

I actually think it’s okay to go to the darkest depths of your emotions as long as you have the want to get back out. I think that times are challenging and you lose all hope. There are also times when you think you make progress, you’re moved three steps back. What I believe is that we are more resilient than we think we are. Some people become aware of that but others aren’t. I also believe sometimes you need to show others that maybe don’t have the guidance. I think showing someone small steps to move forward will help them more than we realise. I know that I can overcome and achieve anything – from facing my own self-doubt and proving myself wrong to pushing comfort zones. When I say I live for experience, it really does push boundaries and expands the way I live.

When in doubt I repeat “I can do anything!” which has been proven to me time and time again. This is how I move forward.

How do you move forward?

Lesson 179: The Fast, The Feast...

Whether you take on a fast or feast, it’s still a great use of your emotional body. We can indulge and celebrate or understanding the strength in fasting – whatever you choose, this allows us to feel more in our bodies. All that we do for our body has a purpose to serve us. Today we are to feast in our body and emotions.

I had a couple highlights on my Thursday. My two up manager was leaving the company and we had a going away lunch for her. I indulged in a pumpkin pizza that had halloumi and caramelised onion. It was amazing even though I ate too much and hurt my stomach. I don’t live with regret. I really love pumpkin pizza :D. Then at night I went to a gig for a music producer Illenium. One of the support acts was Dabin and he indulged me for a photo. I was really just feeling the music which amps up my happiness. I think I feasted well that day and really fed my emotions. I also don’t take for granted the experiences I get to enjoy, when others out there are suffering. I know that there is a focus on self before I can go help out others. it’s something I do think about every day and am working towards.

How did you feast for your emotions and body today?
