ARE YOU HEALED OR JUST DISTRACTED?
— A random quote from Instagram.
It is so easy for life to become distracting before one even has time to Do The Work. I have become sure that most of us are functioning-addicts, our core needs being disguised by consumerism, hyper-productivity/production, and the hustle and bustle.
Only courageous souls DO THE WORK.
A JOURNEY OF SELF—AWARENESS
I’ve always had the gift of heightened self-awareness, always deep in my thoughts. It took a few years of sweating blood, seeking affirmation from a company that didn’t care for me, anxiety attacks and medication to finally decide to throw myself into doing the real work — working on the Eden I present to the world —
Hi, I’m Eden, I’m a recovering performance addict. In the past, my need to be seen/perfect, and over-perform has led me to anxiety medication and burnout.
I’ve come to realize that it’s so easy for life to pass by without us giving much depth of thought to our inner life or to what our real passions and feelings are. Capitalist, Luigi Zingales, calls this a state of inertia — floating through life. However, over the last few months, many of us have been exposed.
HOW TO DO THE WORK
Maybe you’ve just read the above and are feeling overwhelmed. Well, doing the work is at its base-level, making an effort. Giving it thought. Little by little investing in all of the parts of you…
- Mind
- Soul
- Spirit
- Body
For me, this is what self-care really is.
MOVING FORWARD
I’m going to be writing and exploring all of the above, sharing how I have done the work, the results, and giving suggestions on how you can do the same all on this blog. It is the core of what TRAVEL LIGHT is about — giving you a place to learn how to navigate through life lightly. Without baggage – emotionally, mentally, physically, and more… A new perspective.
I hope that you’ll follow along for the journey and DO THE WORK.
All of my love,
Eden
