    Embracing the Power of Stillness

    Hola, Unfolding Community! How often do you find yourself experiencing “What's Next Syndrome?” That relentless inner desire to become, do, experience, or see what's next. We all need to feel some sense of purpose, have goals, as well as identify things to look forward to in life. When this is taken too far, however, and we're constantly seeking the next high, or pushing our self-growth, we can easily overlook the power (and contentment) that comes from stillness. There's value in pausing, intentionally remaining still, and finding peace in even the most mundane activities and moments. Check out True Unfolding's Instagram: @trueunfolding for more uplifting and encouraging content. ‘Cuz we all need reminders about how fabulous we–and life–are!

    Are You the Heroine/Hero of Your Life Story?

    What kind of language do you use when you talk about the challenges in your life story, both to other people and in your own thoughts? Do you speak about your life story as spiritual teacher Iyanla Vanzant says, “in an empowering way?” Don't skim over actually feeling and working through the difficult times. We also don't want to, however, set up shop in that space forever. As we move forward, what's at least one positive thing that we can choose to identify is a direct result of that experience? Well, we survived and we can also choose to view ourselves in a resilient light. If you're not ultimately the heroine/hero in your life story, then who is? -Instagram:@trueunfolding

    Oh my–it has been a minute since the last episode! Fear not, Unfolding Community, because there are some gems in this one. I was so inspired by the idea of having the courage to challenge “Small Town Thinking.” Modern society provides many of us the privilege to mold our lives into how we see fit. This isn't necessarily in alignment, however, with what we truly desire deep down. It's not always easy to pursue our authentically best lives, and it's sometimes even downright intimidating. But don't we also deserve to at least consider and explore what that lifestyle could be? Answer: Yes, we do. -Instagram: @trueunfolding

How do those colors make you feel? Are you drawn towards any specific color(s) and are there any that boost your mood? I encourage you to take note of what colors you like because even taking small, intentional actions to infuse colors that you enjoy can make a typical day a bit more joyful. And we can all benefit from experiencing more joyful, mindful moments on the regular.  -Instagram: @trueunfolding
