hi friend,
lately i’ve been thinking a lot about momentum–
where it comes from, what it feels like, how i know if i’m in it.
historically, i’ve leaned on external sources to validate my momentum.
if i wasn’t getting thousands of notifications, as far as i knew, i was standing still.
but if i only acknowledge my movement forward when it’s viral, what happens to the rest?
is changing my thought patterns not momentum?
is choosing differently, better for myself, not momentum?
is imagining a different future, where i can take my time, rest more, make thoughtful decisions, not momentum?
when i’m undergoing a period of change, it can be hard for me to trust these internal sources. to trust that eventually, what i internalize will externalize in the way it needs to.
but if one of my new priorities is to be able to move slower internally, perhaps i need to be patient and let external momentum unfold in its own slow way, too.
all my love,
m
