Mel Robbins' 5-Step Evening Habit Checklist

💭 Have you ever had a moment where a past version of yourself unexpectedly surfaced? A forgotten passion, a creative spark, a dream that once felt so real?

Today, I saw the borders of hypervigilance more clearly. I recognized the difference between energies—between survival mode and presence. And in that clarity, I found something unexpected: a part of me that had been waiting.

🎶 Flashback to December. I was at the Boston Pops holiday concert with my parents, feeling that warm, familiar rush of dopamine that live music always brings. The cherry on top? 🍒 A clear view of my junior high band teacher—now the principal oboist for the Boston Pops.

The moment pulled me back to being 12 again, to the school music room where I first fell in love with sound. The excitement of extra lessons, hearing the soaring melodies of the oboe… that energy, that creative life, was once mine too.

Then the lump in my throat came:

That could have been my life.

That could have been my work.

That was supposed to be my lived experience. And now, it’s gone forever.

But then, something else surfaced. A second realization.

It wasn’t grief over something lost. It was recognition of something still alive.

🎭 The artist in me.🎶 The one who thrives in creative flow.🌀 The part that loves this life, through all its struggles.

This part of me had never left. It had just been buried beneath trauma, addiction, misdirection, and survival. And now, I see it clearly.

So the real question is: What now?

🌱 I follow the energy.💡 I create a blueprint.🎨 I infuse it with intention.

Because every moment of rediscovery is an invitation to move forward—not into the past, but into what still lives inside us today.

And the only thing I have to do?

✨ Just the next right thing. ✨

The beauty and light I’m experiencing today through clarity aren’t new—they’ve always been here, even in my darkest moments. The external circumstances haven’t changed. What has changed is how I see them.

I need to take this moment not just to appreciate it but to mark it—to hold it as a reference point for when the view isn’t so clear.

As I sit with this, a line from my morning meditation comes to mind:

"What used to be the hunch or the occasional inspiration gradually becomes a working part of the mind..."

This shift didn’t happen all at once. It’s been built through every small effort, every choice, every moment I stayed the course. What once felt distant is now part of me—woven into how I move, think, and experience life. And with that, my capacity for beauty and understanding continues to expand.

the fact that i can honestly feel depths of sadness that are unfortunately familiar territory to me, and no longer get sucked under by the riptide of the darkest of despairs, but rather, hold that sadness in #lovingkindness, is proof to me that there IS something bigger than me, and everyone around me, at play here.

and suddenly, in that #pause , in the #realization , in the #acceptance and #surrender , comes what i can only describe as an #energy that hugs me softly and assures me that i am safe. that i am ok.

to me,that is #god .

I'm curious to try to send a message to the universe by means of a quick experiment.

i created this twitter without linking to any friends. to see how long it might take for one ripple to travel across the universe through CONNECTION.

if you have any fiber that burns to spread positive energy and see it grow through connection, to share love and light for just one quick click....I'd love to challenge you to share and encourage shares....to see how long it takes for our circles to connect 💛

"it's easily one of the things
i'm most grateful for...divinity in the form of humans, the good souls i'm lucky to know. the ones whose energy in your life is some sort of magic. and i don't know if there are perfect words for it, but there are moments when you're with them, and you just think things like...

"you remind me what haven's air felt like, i think you're here to walk me home."

The changing of the seasons really doesn’t represent an end and a beginning. It represents growth along a continuum, life adapting to the changing climate around it. As I start to listen and attune to my soul energy frequency and understand its dynamics as it interacts with the energy in the universe each day, I try to strip what I have in front of me into its most granular components. When I find myself most meditative, I feel the energy frequency of my soul vibrating, my mind reflective and focusing on how I am perceiving life, appreciating and accepting the realities of the framework I live in. Our life phases flow out of one and into the next much like the seasons, filled with growth and building upon experiences which nourish our heart and souls 💛☀️🙏 #impermanence #changingseasons #learningtolive #gratefulheart #nevergiveup #sobrietyjourney #perseverance

Incremental shifts are often difficult to appreciate in the moments within the build. We have to challenge ourselves by trying to remain present and appreciate the small details that start to shine brighter each day as we continue to do the next right thing.

Let go
Feel the sand between your toes
The light caress of the salt air on skin
The sound of the waves steadily aligning with our soul frequency

Embrace life’s simple offerings of serenity 💛🙏🐾☀️

My soul energy vibrates with the fluttering of the hummingbird’s wings. Symbolizes continuity, beauty, perseverance, versatility, and light.

You see, if you force sound into five tones
You force color into five colors
You're blind and deaf
The world of color is infinite, as is the world of sound
And it is only through stopping fixing
conceptions on the world of color and sound
That you really begin to hear it and see it.
