MY SECRET TO A GENKI LIFE:
I love the word genki as a reminder to keep my feet planted on the earth rather than living up around my head … which is common for me!
For me, living a genki life has become more and more about listening to my soul, keeping my internal space simple and checking in with myself regularly to ensure I am staying aligned with my purpose – which ultimately IS to remain aligned because life falls into place when you are.
When I feel centred in my life, I will service my space and myself accordingly. Sometimes it involves a lot of alone time and a lot of self-care, meditation, writing etc; other times it will be a lot of play, family time, friendly catch ups and at times it will be a lot of learning, expanding, and stretching those mental muscles.
When I follow my flow, I am a happy person; when I put pressure on what I should be doing I become paralyzed with my perceived to-do lists.
It has taken me years to get to this point, a lot of guilt to overcome and some old beliefs which needed to be broken. I have come to realize that despite all my titles, which are really just ideas I’ve placed around myself, I am a human being deserving of happiness, self-indulgence, care and deep connection with self, others and the universe. I wouldn’t change this for the world.
