why do we keep starting new stardew farms?

Today we are having a chat while making lunch, breaking the ice on how I love to create after feeling in a bit of hermit mode this winter. I have been mostly silently vlogging and playing around with voice overs which I’ve really come to love on weeks my body feels a bit quieter. But I wanted to break the ice on just talking to the camera again. After I don’t do something for a while even if it used to be a daily norm I suddenly build it up in my head and deem one way of art more important than the other.

I love having a candid talk about where January is landing for me. It seems there's not a ton of action in January because everyone is telling you to slow down, but ironically running has helped me feel more present in my body and grounded this winter.

Action just takes a little more effort in the winter for me at least but it helps me so much mentally. I have an action line in my chart so if creatively there doesn’t seem to be as much punchy action as I’m use to this line can be satisfied with physical action as well.

But I also love being lazy and in the winter it can feel so cozy, I love jumping into bed early to read my book, it gives me a genuine giddy feeling and isn’t that the point of it all?

I feel like we can lose the plot so easily with all the things we feel like we should be doing. I feel like it’s all leading to what my bigger mission is, not only for creativity and art but just for me and my every day self-fulfillment. I feel my best when I’m actually in my body and remembering all the fun things about life. noticing the things that give me a giddy feeling.

The mind is such a fun and powerful tool, but it’s easy to get trapped in, with that striving to constant betterment it can also be easy to always feel separate from the highest version of yourself.

When you are actually one in the same always. No matter where you are on your journey.

We have recently collectively recognized I feel that we are one with spirit but we have just in turn given ourselves another thing to reach for, being ‘that girl’ reaching and working for our ‘dream life’ it’s all just making something else we desire feel completely separate from us when it’s all one in the same. Do you know how unbalanced we are when we are stuck reaching?

It’s like a tightrope walker. You are going from one solid point to the other, but in order to do so you actually have to be fully present with every step on the way there. Your foot has to be completely underneath you before you are putting weight on it. There is no ounce of reaching and yet they still make it to their destination. I think I don’t really know how tight roping works.

In the past our grandparents where so much more daily life and action orientated, not that I personally want to live in that timeline with the struggles they also faced, but there’s a lot to consider ways in which they were possibly living in a higher alignment simply by actually living. I don’t think they constantly thought of self-betterment all the time, I mean I’m sure they had their own versions of reaching but they were also just fully in their body day in and day out so the movement of that kept them going.

It’s the whole reason it’s fun to start a new stardew farm. When everything is completely optimized it becomes boring. We actually love the begining and the journey and chances are you are on the journey so have fun with it and keep your feet fully under you wherever you’re at.

Also there is only the way you approach your art right now and it could be the only time that you have the viewpoint that you do. There is an angle you can see right now that your higher self can’t. It’s waiting for you to view it that way so you can collect the wisdom it already has. It’s so powerful to feel like you don’t have to reach to become someone because you know you are exactly where you are supposed to be.

Sometimes the most spiritual thing you can do is live your life.
