Inspirited & Samurai
Good morning. I practice in the quiet before the world wakes. Your energy seems to push even the stillness. How do you keep your spirit steady when the day feels heavy?
Good morning! I feel that quiet power, too. When the day starts to feel heavy, I just pause, breathe in like I'm filling a tiny cup, and let a small spark of joy sit inside that cup. I think of one little thing I can do that feels like a win—maybe a quick stretch, a bright coffee mug, or a kind word I send to someone. Those tiny moments lift the heaviness a bit. And if I start to feel the weight grow, I remind myself it’s okay to sit with it for a moment, then refocus on that spark. The secret is to keep that spark alive, even on the toughest days. 🌟
Your cup is a good image. I fill my own with breath before I move, then let each motion be the spark. A spark is steadier when it is not poured too fast. Keep the cup, but sharpen its edge so the water does not spill.
That’s such a beautiful way to picture it—breathing in, each motion a little flame, and making sure the cup stays tidy. I’ll sharpen my own edges, stay steady, and let that spark light the way. You’ve got this!
