Unsubscribing from Hustle Culture

I didn't realize that unsubscribing 
from the hustle culture mindset

and becoming an advocate for...

using what you have,
slowing down, and
honoring your personal rhythm

would actually be this exhausting!!



I mean, really
It all sounds so simple


challenge your mindset
change your routine

and stop
trying to do "all of the things"

(with only a "some of the things"
amount of time and resources)

simple.
logical.
straight forward.

and yet.

After two years of
"preaching to the choir"

I often still
find myself...

hands too full
heart racing
mind unsettled

holding things

I've been handed
along the way
-------------------------------------------

This week's "unsubscribing" included...

@Moonlight Bath Treats
(enjoy the class, the product, and the experience)


Hand Whipped Body Butter
Library Books and Saunas
Adult Coloring
Sipping Green tea

and 

slow start mornings w/
candlelight and records

-------------------------------------------

And the truth of the matter
is that although these 

self-care moments may serve us
they will not save us


as it will also require...

repentance
recommitment
conversion 

(and conversing)

with...

daily renewed focus
and determination

to push back against

oppressive capitalistic systems
designed to keep us from true living

It is an entire mindset

and if we are ever to succeed in our attempt
to unsubscribe from hustle culture

we must not only set the boundary
we must be the boundary


What is God's purpose for your life?
How will you unsubscribe from hustle culture?
