The Holiday of Today, aka #YayDays
Is it time we examine what we expect from our holidays?
I have been trying to pay attention to the energy I’m in, around, and feeling. It’s new for me; as a , I have been easily conditioned to be closed off to how I feel. (That’s another story).
I’ve created an exercise of intention to open up my ability to feel my feelings and to feel more in general (I’m not a robot I swear). This has caused me to be more present in the now.
I have learned this all lies in my ability to pay attention. Real attention, the Simone Weil kind.
Due to this attention, I’m feeling more open.
This past February, I ACTUALLY noticed a significant energy change on a particular day (Feb 13th, 2023).
This was the day AFTER Super Bowl LVII (Feb 12th), which meant football was over for the season. While many wives, girlfriends, boyfriends, and non-football-loving persons rejoiced, Feb 13th also marked the day before Valentine’s Day.
I may have felt it because I am football-obsessed (regular, fantasy, DFS — I’m a fiend). My focus switched instantly, and as my hyper-football focus melted away, it made room for me to see what I hadn't been focusing on.
