Hey Reader
As you probably know… last week was the summer solstice, the longest day of the year! And now we are moving smoothly through that beautiful summer energy.
There will be days in the coming month where the weather will be pristine and the beautiful sun and light breeze will be calling you to come play outside.
So the real question is, how will you decide to honor that?
Will your default conditioned response that screams “be practical” or “you have to be disciplined” kick in? Or will you go honor that child inside who remembers how fun it is to go out in the summer and play.
The trick here is balance. AND energy management.
In fact, energy management is even more important than time management in these moments, because when we honor all sides of ourself, especially that little child in us who is dying to go out and play, we honor the full spectrum of who we are as a human being.
Can you take a long lunch and spend that time outside on a short walk in the park by your house?
Or request an afternoon off from work to spend time watching waves with your feet in the sand?
Finding small moments like this is key to making the most of your time, and practices like these nurture your energy in ways you can’t even imagine.
If this triggers you, feels unachievable, or the instant ping of guilt arises when you consider requesting that half day off, it might be time to take a look at where your energy is blocked.
Energy is tricky, because it doesn’t outwardly present itself as an obvious block.
You could have an energy block and it shows up as not being able to ask for time off that is long overdue. Or for some reason you could feel undeserving of rest and fun, even though intellectually you know you’ve earned it.
If you find yourself struggling with any of this… the guilt around taking time off, feeling undeserving of pleasure or just not knowing where to start with energy work… I have the PERFECT thing for you.

What's brewing
As we move through July and deeper into Cancer season, I urge you to look at where your emotions are guiding you toward nourishment verses where old patterns are keeping you stuck in obligation.
Cancer energy is all about emotional intelligence, following intuition and honoring our need for comfort and care. This month we’re being asked to pay attention to our natural rhythms and cycles over forcing ourselves into rigid schedules.
Where can you be 2% kinder to yourself this month? 2% more generous? 2% more focused on honoring your emotional needs? These are the questions to ask yourself as you move forward.
The reality is, your creative energy is directly connected to your emotional wellbeing, and when you honor your need for rest, joy, play and emotional nourishment, you’re actually investing in your creative capacity. The afternoon at the beach isn’t just fun, it’s actually energetic maintenance, and that is what will fuel your next creative breakthrough.

The Summer Permission Slip
Here’s a fun game you can play that helps you honor that inner kid inside you.
Each morning, write yourself an actual permission slip for one small pleasure.
It can be ANYTHING.
“I give myself permission to take my coffee outside and sit in the sun for 10 minutes.”
”I give myself permission to get ice cream. Because I love ice cream, and it’s delicious.
“I give myself permission to leave work 15 minutes early so I can enjoy the beautiful weather just a little bit longer today.”
The act of physically writing things down not only helps to bypass the guilt, it gives a throwback to those moments of childhood where the permission slip granted you a day at the aquarium or a museum adventure with your classmates. This kind of permission is not only FUN, but soothing and regulating for your nervous system. Give it a try and let me know how it goes!

Until next time, remember that honoring your emotional needs is not selfish, it’s an essential piece of sustainable and thriving creativity.
