Sit with it 🧘‍♀️

Few thinkers capture the art of being present quite like Alan Watts. One of my favorite reminders from him: “Muddy water is best cleared by leaving it alone.”

In other words, instead of trying to fix, resist, or rush through our emotions, Watts invites us to just sit with them and let them settle on their own.

Sitting with your emotions isn’t about solving anything. 

It’s about being fully present with whatever’s arising. That’s how we begin to truly inhabit our lives.

Happy journaling,

Kelsey
