(Week 4) June 20th - 26th: Being with Me

Week 4 calls for "recovering a sense of integrity." The exercises in this chapter are meant to "catapult you into productive introspection and integration on new self-awareness." The biggest task, aside from continuing the ritual of daily journaling, is to do reading deprivation. No reading, no social media, for the whole week. It was challenging, and very rewarding. I spent more time outdoors, reflected on the things that bring me joy via the prompts in this chapter, which led me to this picture. I was in Molokai, HI surfing. I caught this wave, and wiped out. I didn't catch many waves this day, but I was so happy. I'm so happy being outside. This week I made it a point to be outside with my family, spent a lot of time at the beach. Saw hearts everywhere, in rocks, in a bubble in my matcha, the best one was a heart shape made by three palm trees.
