Be Your Hoover Dam. Rock with your Limbo

Meet Qwi Qwi, my beautiful inner child who is my biggest cheerleader. I wuff her so much! Qwi Qwi is wearing Create Your Destiny pocket square as her bandana top~

Here I am, on the last day of the month, getting panicky with not having my monthly blog post done up.

Truth is, the last 2 weeks were big for me - 2 key events that occupied my entire head, body, mind and heart space. And it took a toll on my physical body.

Then on a mental level, the adrenaline crash that comes with big, exhilarating events that resonate so much means the introvert side of me just want to hole up at home and grow a beard or something. LOL.

Growing up with the idea that productivity means being important, I realised one of my core fears was not being important. Can you see how screwed up that was to my own wellbeing?

Unfolding expired past beliefs takes patience, compassion and most importantly, love.

And as I started my usual berating of "it's already 12pm and what have you done?" nonsense in my head, I was reminded of a recent IG convo I had with a follower-turned-friend.

I describe these stuck moments (or procrastination if you prefer), the moment where you are gaining momentum and potential energy to propel forward at the next cycle. Very much like the ebb and flow of waves where they have to retreat (literally to gain potential energy) before using this momentum to crash forward! The waves can't flow without the ebb, the moon can't wax without the waning.

To lock it in as a visual reminder, I call this the "Hoover Dam" moments. You know how water needs to be blocked up to create gravitational potential energy (GPE) so that when they are released, these can be converted to kinetic energy to generate electricity?

If I may take you into a visualisation tour with me, imagine your procrastination as water being blocked away in the Hoover Dam (ie the LIMBO) - the more there are, the greater your GPE will be. When these blockages are unleashed - BAM. You ROCK WITH YOUR LIMBO when they are released.

Trust me, the blockages will reach a tipping point where they HAVE to be unleashed.

More importantly, you need to trust yourself these moments of limbo isn't a bad thing - they are just your body's way of conserving energy, recuperating and just wanting to be in the present moment without the constant GO GO GO.

And to Caihui, you've done an incredible amount of work leading up to today. Look how far you've come!

I am celebrating you and telling you this "YOU ARE IMPORTANT".

Now, go rock with the limbo babe!

And be your own HOOVER DAM! *feeling proud that the energy conversion of my Hoover Dam churned out this blogpost in 30 minutes without the use of AI (except for grammar corrections!). Hoover Dam turbo charged~
