Happy birthday to me!!!! I am turning 25 on May 9th and I have so many emotions. For one I didn’t think I’d be quarantined and in a pandemic during this time, but we’re rolling with it. I feel excited for 25 compared to how some others feel. 24 threw me for a loop let me tell you, but I’ve been having this gut feeling tell me it was all for a reason. Everything has led to this month to truly celebrate me and my progress. This month’s theme is celebrating no matter how big or small. Celebrating this awesome life I get to live with my tribe of people.
Even though I won’t get to do what I normally do for a birthday, gathering with friends, going to a show or festival, going out, etc., I have plans to still make the day special. Ordering a cake from my fave vegan bakery, my favorite ramen for dinner, and setting up a Zoom birthday party with friends from all over is a recipe for a great birthday. I’m going to get dressed in my festival best and throwing a mini rave at home. Just because it isn’t what I usually do doesn’t mean it won’t be special or fun.
If you’ve been feeling the anxiousness for this to end and to get back out there, try to savor this time while you can. We’ll never get an opportunity like this to slow down in our lives again. While I am sad festivals aren’t happening, I’m seizing this opportunity to save money, learn something new and lay down plans for my future with my life, career, side hustle, etc. Find new ways to spark joy in your life, get grounded in your routine and find what you need in this very moment and do that. That’s what Taurus season is all about baby!!!
Last thing I’ll leave you with: motivation. I’ve gotten asked a lot about where I find motivation during this time and I have always been driven by my why. With this quarantine though, I’ve been motivated by myself and serving exactly what I need. Do I need to take rest? Do I want to play a DJ set by myself or film a video? Do I need to binge watch KUWTK or Netflix? Turning inward and seeing what I need in the moment has helped a ton and just focusing on the next 24 hours ahead. It’s okay if your motivation is lagging this is a WEIRD time for us all and there’s no right or wrong way to do it. Know you’re doing your best and be patient.
I am sending you my love and well wishes this month! Hang in there, phone a friend, take a daily walk, whatever it may be. Prioritize your cup and fill that baby up!!! Much love and happy May!
