If a shift in practice, action, or thought generates more…
““If a shift in practice, action, or thought generates more embodiment, creativity, empowerment, sweetness, clarity, astuteness, love, energy, or connection, this is probably a solid sign that it’s adding value and enhancing your life for the better. If it does the opposite and detracts vitality over and over and over again, let it go, compost it, and trust in your ability to begin a new inquiry. Playing in the sandbox of experimentation also welcomes us into relationship with the process of creating messes.””
