How are you feeling about Covid? (& other early morning thoughts š)
This is a really long article. I havenāt finished reading it yet - maybe I wonāt make it to the end either.
And thatās okay.
Iām sharing it here for 2 reasons -
1. because I ran it through (not with this thought, but itās true) a much trusted and valued Planet Andrea contributor (ahem @hollielynn šš¼ me testing tags š) who took some really great mindshifty things away from it.
And
2. I felt myself being a little timid about what I share here - itās a funny fine line Iām seeing between āstaying on topicā and curating what I think people are arriving for.
What IS on topic? š¤ tbh itās a little tricky to discern with a wide open Head and G center.
āā-
The notself questions for those two centers (when white) go like this -
Head - are you thinking about things that donāt matter (to your life), are you trying to answer everyone elseās question.
G/self - are you seeking love and direction.
āāā-
But on the flip side, those two centers (along with my other undefined spaces) becoming deconditioned continues to be the source of a main āprize insideā of HD - for me.
And hopefully for the people around me too.
Maybe āfine lineā isnāt so much the saying that fits here - more like āchicken and eggā.
[Lol I hear myself using that phrase a lot - could be part of future branding?]
Yes, the creator of the space sets the tone. Thatās always the truth.
But I want it to be a transparent tone - and this article is the sort of thing that I wouldnāt share on Facebook... because trolls and people who are too easily inflamed.
Dealing with that is just a headache.
Am also not typically interested in politics - except this year is different. And things that direct affect free speech in particular are interesting/important to me.
Always.
Curiosity and discourse (or not) are highly valued here on Planet Andrea.
Wanna see what what catches your attention in the attached article?
The last thing Hollie reflected back to me was -
āHer writing seems very human designish. Like, lots of personal freedom stuff.ā
And so this is how it works.
I trial and error filter things, people interact with me, and that helps me know whatās valuable to share further and whatās less interesting.
Ultimately, what creates conversations and challenges ideas around self-care (my 27.1 P Sun), I think are the true filter for the spaces I create (literally just had that clarity of thought).
What could possibly be more āself-carishā than becoming witness to our own Designs and being able to create our own economies.
Nothing I can currently imagine. š¤·š»āāļø
Side note about how I read things like this (or consume any content) aka. how to not get swallowed up as a content consumer only and become a filter for your own message to flow through.
Itās simple, but not easy (at first) -
1. Read this to the first lightbulb - and STOP āš¼
2. Scroll to the end to see what the end game is (especially if youāre sharing a direct link - and mostly so you know what might come back in resistance from others.... you also want to know what youāre exposing people to - or I do anyway š¤·š»āāļø)
3. Share your perspective out loud somewhere.
4. Never ever simply link drop and think youāre doing some kind of service. Sharing this or that without context is just adding more noise to an already noisy world. Add the filter if you - thatās valuable.
(Doesnāt have to be a long addition like I can tend to do - add a line or two of personal story, a question that can encourage conversation ... can make all the difference between being felt as an annoying distraction and a contributor to the richness of someoneās life.
Always add a piece of you.
5. Rinse and repeat.
