💬 Dopamine Hit of the Week
You don’t need to fix anything.
👋🏾 Hey, beautiful people
If you are anything like me chances are you’re constantly planning, building, trying to grow.
This is a positive thing but sometimes we fall into the trap of thinking we need to FIX ourselves, like we are broken.
by trying to fix ourselves all the time we admit we are broken all the time
I’m not saying there aren’t moments where we’re off.
There are.
But all the time?
Probably not.
So here to how to make a little switch in our mindset that can affect our entire outlook.
Don’t fix…recovery
We’re conditioned to believe that we constantly need fixing.
We need to fix our skin with skin care
We need to fix our bodies by eating less and working out more
We need to fix our mental health with therapy
of course you are broken because you view yourself like a cracked glass instead of a human being that need time to recover.
That may sounds harsh, but it’s true.
Recently I have been actively more present about my life but a few days back I found myself not being present but being in the past and future. my first thought was
“i need to fix this”
but why…
When we were children and we fell and scraped our knees we didn’t think we needed to be fixed, at lease the thought was we’ll recover.
Recovery has a sense of calmness and naturally order to it while fixing often denotes intervention of change by external forces from an undesirable state to a desirable one. You don’t fix yourself after a run you recovery.
Recovery has trust in it.
Fixing has judgment in it.
So when i find myself not being in the present i go “I HAVE NOTHING TO FIX” the awareness of not being present at that moment has made me present and that’s the recovery needed.
This week is the end of Q1 and begin of Q2.
🔄 Q2 Energy
We’re entering a new quarter.
Not with pressure.
Not with self-criticism.
But with awareness.
You don’t need to overhaul your life to grow.
Sometimes you just need to:
Rest
Reset
Realign
💭 Thought to Chew On
Focus on Recovery
The irony?
When you stop trying to fix yourself…
you slowly become whole.
Let’s build differently this quarter.
