Consciousness

I’ve been doing a lot of thinking. When all the black squares disappear from Instagram and the hashtags stop being used I want to encourage everyone to continue to work on being more conscious. Your mind is extremely powerful. I’m not out here preaching I just want to keep us empowered and motivated.

I say this from the heart because I spent a lot of years on heavy medication for my mental health symptoms, that severely numbed out my mind. I compare it physically being awake but mentally being in a deep sleep. I can never get them years back but I can keep taking it a day at a time and moving forward. We have to keep moving forward, not 1 step forward, 10 steps back. WE are tired of all that.

But being more conscious requires sacrifice. You can no longer ignore or glaze over certain things. And that’ll result in moves like dropping out brands and restaurants that you thought you loved, but their values aren’t aligning with yours and they are showing time and time again that they don’t support things like diversifying their brands and taking action.

Are you willing to make sacrifices?
