keeping a clear head
Entry 1
Blog! I’m excited to be writing my first entry here from my office away from the spa, Huriyali cafe. As I navigate this new adventure, of course, there are moments of fear. Yet somehow I cant help but feel lucky every time I catch my mind wondering to a place of anxiety. I think this is because I know my fear means that there’s something to lose. A feeling I have always craved. A few years ago I was sitting in this exact spot with no idea what I wanted to do and I dreamed of the day I would have something of my own. A space to be creative and unapologetically myself, no boss telling me how to act or what to wear. The pressure to make it happen, the mind set “it will work because it has to work.”
Falling into this path has been so much more than a job, it has allowed me to meet some of the coolest people imaginable. I have been given so much space to explore and time to pivot down different paths, this has been because of my family, my friends, my teachers, strangers and of course all the places I’ve seen. It’s my belief that just like people, places have spirit too. That when you visit somewhere new, that spirit embeds into you. When I think of all the spots I’ve been so lucky to see I feel the need to thank them for today. When I try to express my gratitude for all these people and places, I am always left with the same feeling of there just are no words that could ever capture it.
Above all else, I want this space to bring peace to everyone who visits. I want serenity for myself and everyone who steps into the studio. This circuit of course must begin in myself. Below is a list of my latest habits and rituals I have found clear my head.
