Reminders for myself
Nowadays, there are four things that are gonna decide if I have a good day. Did I sleep enough? Did I connect deeply with people I love? Did I get some time to myself? Did I make choices for my body that felt good—like, did I take a good walk, did I eat healthy, did I exercise? If I get those four things in place, usually my days are pretty good.

On responding to tension with tension vs. ease
I can’t hold on to water if I clench my fist.
The only way for me to contain it is to open my palm, and have it move through me.
