embodied wisdom and learning

Be wary of yang activities that masquerade as yin 

Are you actually resting, or are you doing vinyasa yoga, hopping in a sauna, eating a cheat meal, or working on a “side project”?

All of these examples can ofc be yin nourishing, but there is a tendency (esp. in American culture) to exert oneself under the guise of rest

this resonates... if I take a vacation and spend the entire time building a side project, that's not really a vacation. It's just working for a different person (myself).

It’s subliminal. Most vacations are actually tiresome, eg. a cruise lol

Prioritization is huge in learning HOW to grow.

I'm coming up on ten years since my parents passed in a car accident.

Most outsiders would have viewed my actions as dumb but they didn't know my priorities at that time.

The main action I'm referring to is finishing my Doctoral dissertation (I finished all 5 years of my  Ed.D courses work so just ABD)

However I had taken my family to Disney World with some inheritance money shortly after the funeral. The first night I was up late working on it. I looked at my family sleeping and thought... What is MORE important right NOW... Time with my family growing up cherishing these moments... Or the paper...
