Day 4 :: Layers of You

PodcastGrowthForTheHolidays

I wanted to give you a bit more time diving into the every day type of stuff that rocks your world.

Yesterday we talked of food and the things that you liked to watch.

I want you to take that a little deeper into your world and observe all the little things that are 100% you, that you do because…well…you like it. Usually, these little things are kinda quirky :)

I’ll share a few here….

I’m obsessed with legwarmers. I have around 20 pair!!!! I wear legwarmers almost every day, the only time that I don’t is when it’s SUPER hot outside.

I don’t really wear them as a fashion statement, I wear them because I find them totally useful. For whatever reason legwarmers make sense to me.

You know the image header for the FB group? That blue hoodie thing that I’m wearing?

One of my best friends gave me this head to toe fleece monk robe looking thing in my late twenties in LA of all things.

She knows I tend to run super cold and she saw it and thought I needed to have it. It’s like my most favorite thing EVER! I’ve carried it with me through SOOOOOOO many life changes. Usually it’s stayed inside of a box, as my body has become pretty acclimated to the cold but now that we are in the mountains, it’s the PERFECT piece of clothing.

It hit me the other day that this blue monk outfit was meant for me to have HERE and NOW. I look pretty darn silly in it, but you know what? I don’t care. I am super cozy. And NO it’s not like a snuggy AT ALL.

I LOVE doing laundry. No clue why…there’s something about the whole washing of the clothes and then folding them all into neat little piles….I’m NOT one that loves to be organized and clean house and do chores and all that, but there’s something about spending time folding clothes that for whatever reason really rocks my world.

I told you some of these things are totally quirky!

And I don’t know how long I’ll feel as strongly as I feel about the above, maybe there will come a time when I’m ready to let go of wearing legwarmers? Who knows!

It’s not about holding ON to defining yourself. It’s about seeing yourself in the world and celebrating what is.

I might change. I might totally let go of leg warmers and give away my blue monk outfit, and even develop an aversion to doing laundry, but for right now, those are things that totally feel “me.”

You will be recording 3 short stories about these little quirky insights about yourself. It could be about the food, the stuff you watch, or possibly some interesting things that you uncover.

AND

you have to do a tiny bit of searching today.

Really tiny bit.

I implore you to set a timer of NO MORE THAN 10 MINUTES. Promise.

1. You will go to http://dig.ccmixter.org/
2. In the search bar right at the top, you will stick one of the labels that you have chosen for yourself: playful, creative, mother, producer, etc.
3. You will listen to up to 5 pieces of the music that comes up (trust me. only 5)
4. You will choose 2 pieces to download
5. You will use those two pieces as part of your second audio piece however you see fit.

NOTE: choose a song that doesn’t have a $ sign :)

I’ve been down this rabbit hole. Do it as fast as you can. Don’t second guess yourself. Don’t get obsessive about listening to ALL OF THE MUSIC. Just choose the first 2 that resonate, make a decision and get out of there.

CCmixter can suck entire days…

You’ve got your 2nd piece of audio to work on! It doesn’t have to be long, you can keep it to less than 5 minutes, for the whole thing!

I know you can do it.

Now go on and make some digital magic :)
