“Fitting in is about assessing a situation and becoming who you need to be to feel accepted. Belonging, on the other hand, doesn’t require us to change who we are.” - Brene Brown ✨ I was at a talk about “belonging” @thehivery this week and someone said something that made me think about it a little differently. They talked about being part of a group that they didn’t feel like they belonged to until they let themselves feel that way. Basically, she realized that her own self talk had been the barrier to feeling the belonging she truly wanted. ✨ But I thought about something a little more controversial. It’s the idea of discernment. And it’s served me well over the years. I’ve learned how to not let my own judgements get in the way of participating - especially when I don’t feel “all in”. Because I know that it takes time for me to decide if a place or group of people are the right fit. I’ve jumped in too quickly, giving too much enough times now. And I’ve accepted that it takes me time. Even if it doesn’t look that way on the outside because of my enthusiasm - I’ve been able to honor that part of myself and value it on the inside. ✨ I once had a teacher tell me, “When you meet someone new, you have one foot in & one foot out until you decide inside that you’re all in or you’re out.” And that’s my truth; I’ve honored it ever since and I was grateful to her. ✨ So perhaps don’t let that desire to belong (something that we all yearn for) overpower your discernment. At the same time, don’t let the judgements in your head stop you from participating. Because that’s the only way to find out if that feeling of true belonging is actually there for you. ✨ It’s a tricky dance, but so worth learning the steps. Because it’s one that’s serving me well. I hope it helps you too. Let me know if it rings true ✨ 📸 @mosey_kim . . . . . . . . #unlockyourcreativity #DesignYourBestLife #LiveYourPurpose #YouGotThis #coworkingspace #trusttheuniverse #themindfulapproach #exploretocreate #creativityfound #thecreatorclass #CalledToBeCreative #liveauthentic #CommunityOverCompetition #mindsetshift #personalgrowith #staycurious
Some days the simplest things can restore your faith. I often close my eyes and just ask for some help to stay open to whatever wonder is available to me right then. Especially when I feel like I’ve landed in the wrong place. We all have those days. But when I stay receptive and close my eyes, even for a moment, it helps. ✨ Someone next me makes me smile. Or something unexpected happens, and I get the confirmation I need that it’s all ok. Everything is working as it needs to. ✨ Because there are a lot of things we’re losing faith in lately. So it’s even more important to have faith in yourself and to trust that. ✨ Thanks for listening... . . . . . #LifeQuotes #Inspirational #mindsetquote #mindsetshift #personalgrowith #staycurious #unlockyourcreativity #writerslifestyle

I love this photo because it’s one of my favorite spots to write and live in Ubud, Bali. It’s where I first had the courage work on a blog, to pick up photography again and got my first paid article for a local paper. And it reminds me that those trendy styled shots I do serve a purpose. The purpose is intentional practice. I’m making something. 📸 And today part of that intentional practice is taking me on a new adventure to the @airbnb HQ for an all day training to make my mobile photo adventure better and more fun for my guests. 📸 And it reminds me that intentional practice is what creativity is all about. We all start out copying people and making what we see others make until we find our feet, our voice and our own style. And the gifts are the new people and places that our creativity leads us to. 📸 So thank you to each and everyone of you who has been to a class or connected with me here on the gram. Because that’s what I really enjoy most, making stuff that enables me to connect with others creatively. 📸 That’s when I’m most joyful. Connecting with others through our natural creativity. We’re all creative. Every one of us. . . . . . . . . #airbnbexperiences #inspirecreativity #unlockyourcreativity #inspirationalart #staycurious #travelersnotebook #travelchannel #passionpassport #doyoutravel #pointandshoot #stayandwander #findyourepic #wonderful_places #MobileMag
