“Through pride we are ever deceiving ourselves. But deep down below the surface of the average conscience a still, small voice says to us, something is out of tune.” -Carl Jung
There are nights when there isn’t one quote that resonates, but tonight wasn’t that night. This quote hit home immediately. You want to know why? Because that still small voice gets drowned out so quickly when you are not mindful of your circle, your diet, and your focus. Without regular connection with that small voice, we can get way off track and forget who we are altogether.
I’m saying this as someone who gets off track. Here’s the thing: you don’t have to go across the globe and drink jungle tea to get reconnected (not that I’m against it). You just have to do small daily and weekly rituals that give you a moment of reconnection. Evening tea and Sunday solitude work perfectly for me. Morning coffee helps too.
It takes practice and conditioning for these to become habits, but if you want to be able to hear the still small voice, this is the way.
And as a bonus, you’ll find micro joys and moments of peace. Do you know how good that is for your nervous system?!
Great News
I just finished my first novel. It’s called Writer’s Quest: A Triptych. It’s an experimental fiction novel inspired by the triptychs that hang in Catholic churches. Just like triptych paintings have three panels that tell one story, Writer’s Quest has three distinct parts that tell one story. The art doesn’t end there; the story explores the metamorphosis of a woman who’s in search of her mom. So fun to read! Buy it here.
