ivan, with nothing to prove
@ivan_unfolds
a beautiful mess
keys to my growth over the next while: embrace the mundane which feels super fucking edgy for me so i guess it's not so mundane
Most people live their lives in between these 2 emotions- 1. Hope that if they achieve something, they will find happiness. 2. Fear that if they lose what they have, they will never be happy. The day you understand neither of them are actually true is the day you are free.

since the aoa reunion on projections, i have perhaps predictably, been more open to questioning projections on people i'm meeting for the first time getting to experience the humans beneath my projections (or at least the first few layers) is such a gift 😊
if multigenerational trauma is at source of all suffering then every time i sit the dysregulation i’m tending is my own but also my parents’, and my grandparents’, and ultimately everyone’s y'all can thank me later okay 😋
fuck solopreneur, i'm on that soul-preneur flex 😏
what I’m discovering is that I can go to my edge without over efforting i have a binary belief that I either have to be pushing or not growing at all and there’s more questioning of this assumption recently a good prompt from my meditation teacher: “how does being do doing?”
yoga is teaching me all the unconscious ways i try too hard i over-effort everywhere, but the feedback is so much clearer with an introspective embodied practice much easier to miss when i'm running or with work stuff. too much distraction
