My beach musings
Yesterday I went down to the beach to give myself some time to slow down. I was sitting on a big rock under a tree in a quiet, hidden spot. Ducks were swimming around me, nibbling grass off the rocks. They were so peaceful.
And I have really wierd thougts sometimes, and I had a seriously wierd one then. I was suddenly wondering if it would be nice to be a duck. I mean, they just exist. They take care of themselves and live in the moment with no shame, no anxiety, no fear about what others think about them (these are assumptions lol) They’re not spiraling about tomorrow. They’re not worried about whether they’ll find the next meal. They’re just here—enjoying the weather, nibbling, swimming, resting.
I mean, why am I more anxious than a duck? If they’re not panicking about what’s next, maybe the only difference is that they trust in a way that I don’t. Theyre definitly not safer than me and if Id be in their position, id probably be even more anxious than I am now.
As I was thinking about this, I yelled to an older guy sitting a bit further down “Do you ever wish you were a duck?” He looked at me like I escaped from a mental institution and yelled back, “No.” I laughed so hard because I realized that if they come pick me up, Ill just tell them I identify as a duck and i'll be considered normal again.
But then I got to thinking… maybe it’s not such a bad idea. Maybe duck energy is exactly what I need in my business. Showing up. Floating forward. Nibbling at the next opportunity. Not spiraling if the rock seems far. Just trusting the flow. Not hustling, but also not giving up the vision.
Because honestly? There’s nothing more powerful than a woman who lets go of the hustle—but not the vision. And maybe that woman is also a duck.
So yeah… I’m running my business this week as a duck. And it feels amazing.
