Easy does it!
As I thought about how I’d roll differently in 2025, “Easy does it” resonated so loudly in my mind that it became one of my mantras for the year!
“Easy does it” means I will consciously choose the most enjoyable ways (instead of the most intense, fast, challenging, etc) to experience what I wish.
I want to experience life and grow differently this year. Joy and pleasure are the top two experiences I prioritize.
This is a big deal for me, bigger than I can imagine. Yet, I am committed to it and keen to see what unfolds consequently.
I wrote down a few things I’d like to do accordingly and made my way through the list.
One of them is to have guest writers in my newsletter.
I am fortunate to have wonderful, curious, and deep-thinking minds around me. These are individuals with whom I can spend hours deeply conversing to expand and deepen my consciousness. Julie Grauel is one of these wonderful people.
I’d like her to share her perspective and reflection with you, and I’m happy that she accepted my invitation. Thank you, Julie 🙏💖
Today is her first of many.
Enjoy!!
With love,
Astuti
Hi everyone,
This is my first time contributing to Astuti’s newsletter. I’m honoured to have the privilege and would like to thank Astuti for the opportunity to do so.
I saw a fantastic clip today on Instagram (click here to watch the clip).
It was of a family selling food from their food stand somewhere in Indonesia, and they were doing brisk business.
The catch is – it was in the middle of a flood.
The clip shows people walking calmly along in waist high water up to this food stand. The water seemed quite calm, it didn’t appear to be rising or look life threatening. People were composed and smiling and chatting as they bought their food. It looked like a normal day out.
I love this video because it shows the attitude that one can take in times of adversity.
I think many people, myself included, would be upset about the damage to our goods and property. It is devastating if you lose your home or things precious to you.
Yet, you see people smiling despite the circumstances surrounding them and grateful they can buy food.
There is this calm acceptance of the situation that they are in and focusing on the present.
The other thing I loved is how the family focused on what was within their control. This video is an inspiring example of how to accept that the only thing we can control is how we choose to respond.
These people couldn’t control when the flood water goes down, but they could still cook and continue their business, so they did that rather than what most of us would do which is worry or get angry about things we can’t do anything about.
When faced with a challenging situation what do you focus on?
Do you put your attention on what you can do or do you get caught up in your emotions or fears?
If it’s the latter, maybe you need to ask yourself if they are real or imagined. If you’re still stuck then maybe set up a call with Astuti!
