I dreamed I couldn't find my apartment. The building had been completely rebuilt. When I woke up, I realized: I can't go back to my old relationship with myself. And I don't want to.
Another brilliant piece. This reminds me of the piece you wrote about the change in “operating system.“ this shift away from urgency and adrenaline has taken a few years for me. At first, I really missed the old me but knew I could never get it back again. And now I am at home with the shift. One thing I’m really noticing is that with my expanded bandwidth I am feeling things more deeply. And I’m grateful for that.
Thanks so much. I have shifted as well, claimed sovereignty and now find myself in new hallways all the time but with spaciousness and choice and freedom. What a beautiful shift.
When reading Declutter 3 as you described collapse, and doing nothing, I felt irritable and wanted to argue semantics. The recovery or unwind after intensity and focus seem a natural process akin to bulbs, seeds, roots under ground in the winter. My brain said renew, renewal, incessantly. There you go- landing on renewal in Unclutter 4.
I notice with sleep your creativity painted a dream, a reentry. All the best.
Synchronicities abound. I was explaining to a friend how I’m still learning to “feel” quite literally, how my body reacts to information. Then I can think about it; but the feel has to come first. I’m still thinking and stopping and just backtracking, but hot dayam. It really helps me with just ….thriving more, instead of feeling like I’m surviving. This is so beautifully put, thank you so much.

I’ve never looked at the changes in that way before, but what a wonderful view it is from a grounded position. Thank you for this.

Two parts really resonate with me:
The Body as Author section, and “You have time now. Are you listening?”
Thank you for sharing your dream, your experience, your thoughts. 😘
