Ive been ebbing and flowing with social media for a lil over a year now. I downloaded instagram with the intention to use it for my art, heart, expression. It served me as a vessel for accelerated shadow work and guided me to overcome deep insecurities. Yesterday, I got a live action clip of me finding the cutest salamander and felt called to post it as a reel instead of on my story. Simultaneously, I was guided to tap into the collective consciousness and push past the limitations of my 100 followers lol. It’s crazy how fast you can see the results of your inner work. I let go of the anchor of my small town/family and instantly I’ve been able to reach more people. Like instant lol. Pretty sick. I know I’m capable of blowing up easily if I tried, but it’s been me that’s holding me back. I guess I fear I’ll lose myself if I get too much attention. I’ve been out in nature doing whimsical shit for years, and I’ve always loved the privacy. However, my light is meant to be shared and it’s becoming un-repressable. I don’t know if that’s a word lol, but it makes sense to me. Anywho, the world needs my silliness and it’s a matter of me letting me be seen in my magicalness. I hope this serves as a reminder that it’s you versus you and you are the creator your reality.

Even at 640k followers I still have fear in my body when posting. So wanted to take a moment today and speak a bit into this energy and my process for navigating it. The inertia is stronger than normal because I've not been posting for quite a long time. I'm also on a secret mission in a new Asian country and cannot post any Instagram stories. So... I'm out of momentum big time with showing myself online. And so... the pressure has been building up. The more time it goes between each post I make, the more pressure I feel to drop an absolute banger that goes ballistic and blows everyone's minds. When I'm posting more regularly, I give less fucks and I'm less caught up on the individual posts. It's like the saying goes, when it rains it pours. Momentum is a real thing, and it's very evident when it comes to content creation. Courage however, as you all know, is not being fearless. It's doing the thing that needs doing, when the fear is strongest. Time to get back to posting. Blessings on blessings. The fog is clearing. The thunderclouds are opening and the sun is peaking through. A new era is on the horizon. The time is now. PS: Here is a photo of me and one of the biggest UK influencers. He's not the most conscious of creators, but I can tell he's got a pure heart. Randomly met him on my mission. Maybe you know who he his?

I stumbled on this today. “I wish you self-esteem so high that you’re humble.” It reminded me of something a good friend once told me. “Confidence and humbleness are not mutually exclusive, they are complementary. As one rises the other should also rise. Like a balanced scale.”

My dad has told me my whole life: “The more you do, the more you can do.” When it comes to being a creator, there’s nothing more true. We dilute ourselves often — over-protecting our energy, minimizing our output, and trying to figure out how we can do less, not more. There can be benefit to this in certain circumstances. But for the most part, we were born to create. And when we’re not actively creating — working on projects, giving gifts, participating in community — we’re not really happy. Even the most introverted of us. Dave, owner of the Istana and our business partner — the one who hosts the meditation Truth Talks with Leo said to me in a meeting one day: “Justice, do you know what the Blue Zones are?” I said yes. He said, “Do you know what makes up a Blue Zone — what the most important aspects are?” I said, “Yeah… clean air, nutrient-dense soil and food, super clean water, good air quality…” And then I drew a blank. He said, “Yes — all of those are great. And all of them are irrelevant compared to the one you missed.” Community. The Japanese have a principle called ikigai. Ikigai literally means: “the reason you get up in the morning” or “that which makes life worth living.” Or purpose. And all science shows that when human beings lose purpose, they stop working, stop moving, stop participating — and they die. They wither away. We have to find things to be doing, to be creating, to be working on. We flourish the most when we’re creating. So ask yourself: What are you not allowing yourself to create right now? What story might you be telling yourself about why you don’t have the energy, the time, or the resources to do it? How much are you diluting yourself into thinking you can’t do the thing — when really, you can? This is my reflection for today :) Go create. Go work on your passions. Go out and dance. Be in community. Find a way to give your gifts to the world. I promise, happiness will follow. Peace and Love, Justice
