The first thing you do when you get home depends on your mood and attitude. If you had a good day, you’re more likely to be relaxed and ready to unwind with some meditation, yoga, exercise, mental health activity, reading, preparing some healthy food, etc. Perhaps you share your down time with your life partner, your long time lover, your friend since high school or college, your Soul Angel, your Soul Cat…whoever you chose or the Universe has chosen for you (if not yet, soon to come dancing through that door, tumbling for you)…the world is indeed your oyster or that sushi you ordered from downtown ATX. Just do what makes you feel happy, glorious, joyful, spontaneously You.
Before you light that bed on fire…You are likely to strip off anything that is work related, as in your uniform, your outfit, your shoes, your shirt and tie, etc. and get into something a bit more comfortable or perhaps go braless or dance naked around the house while listening to Foreigner trying to know what love is, or where to find that fucking illusive soulmate you’ve read in so many novels, as in that epic indie LGBTQ romance set in Austin. It is after all the most progressive musical city in the entire world. In the words of Greta, I dare you to prove me wrong. You are your own personal Climate Change and you can create your own storms to send lightning striking down your demons from hangover past.
That’s exactly where your mind should be. Just as you practice the Art of Letting Go, anything on the outside (both the seen and unseen), taking everything off that hinders your freedom to move and dance about, as you surrender your passions and your desires to the One you serve and gave your heart, body, and mind to.
You will move forward visualizing the yet to come as you believe and receive the blessings reserved in your name, breaking bread and turning that bottled water into a chilled glass of the best margarita in Texas.
If you don’t see it, then you won’t know where to walk. It’s that simple, your mental navigation (that intuition you seek to hide and ignore like your cannabis habit) will choose your trajectory, as you release all that negative energy at the doormat and in the bed of your ex.
Changing your sheets is that one nightly ritual, just as you change into your clothes in the morning. It’s what you think about before you go to bed that you wake up and become or transition and evolve into over time. It is who you embrace in the morning as you scream, cry, laugh, and shout into the fogged up mirror before after you get out of that dream sanctuary (your bed) and into that warm shower then change into a new fashion trending at the moment like a sick ass selfie you took with friends last night at the Moody Center that decides your future life; right here, right now.
You must first see that ideal person, that thought, that dream, and that desire before you can even change your present reality. And it all began with a simple changing and cleansing of your sheets.
