Late Sunday Afternoon

Hi All,

Life is a funny thing. Throughout one day we can have a range of so many emotions.
From being totally contempt to being dysregulated. The strangest part, at least for me
is to be the container for all these feelings. As I grow into myself more and more, I
feel like I spend a good amount of time checking in with myself. Do I resonate with
the actions or feelings that are coming out of me? Where do these energies come
from and do they align with my highest self?

My most recent trip to Chicago this last week was a wonderful acknowledgement of
the work I am constantly doing on myself. The truth is, it is our journey as individuals
to work on ourselves. We only accept what we accept. Old patterns, reactions, and
our way of being are directly tied to our ancestors, everything that was happening
with our parents right before our birth, and the year we were born. Past this, it is us
who get to determine our path.

Many people think that change in our lives is some drastic thing that has to happen
over a made up period of time. The truth and reality is that:

BEING PRESENT IS AN ACTION NOT A THOUGHT

To shift your life, your love for self, you must choose to be present in your world. This
is the first step to regain faith in your path. The thinking mind wants to create
opinions, judgements, and conflict to parse out the life it is living. Though, in reality
the gratitude and presence you can bring to your moment to moment world is the
ACTION needed to regain the souls need to be in the drivers seat.

Take the rest of this month to take moment by moment and be considerate to SELF.
Check in with the deeper you and ask SELF: Does this feel like my highest self? Is this
how I want to be? Do yourself a favor and learn to not past judgement on yourself.
Inner kindness is practice and best practiced moment to moment. I created Late
Sunday Afternoon products to be used as a tool to help you practice!

With Love,

Matthew
