part 1: choose your language

If you need different words for this energy, instead of ‘feeling good’, then go ahead make up your own.

It doesn’t matter what the words are as long as they represent the balanced opposite of hustle culture.

Maybe you like the word 'tingly' or 'peacefully skippy'. Or maybe you like the phrase 'gooey inside'. Or maybe you just like the word ‘alignment’.

Whatever floats your boat!


part 2: journaling ritual

  1. Where have I been hustling, struggling, pushing, or striving?

  2. What is one area or a few where I can welcome feeling good?

  3. What are my doubts, fears, & anxieties around welcoming feeling good in this area?

  4. What do I feel like will happen because I welcomed feeling good?

  5. What do I feel like won’t happen because I welcomed feeling good?

  6. What's one action I can take this week based on the question above? Please note we're not forming habits or routines. we're simply doing what feels good


part 3: watch the movie chocolat!

If you’ve already watched it, watch it again!

until next time,

may you welcome the dignity of feeling good
