How Are You Showing Up Today? (Before My List Drops Thursday)
Okay, no one’s pure angel—or all devil—but being a “good human” still sounds so simple… until life starts life-ing yet again.
The love, laughs, and sheer delulu of my friends and family keep me kind, grounded, and helps me stay steady. I’m trying to stay out of foolishness. Work out (as regularly as I can), eat … decent-ish, schedule as much abundance in my life (not assignments) where I can, and essentially, drink water and mind my business.
And yet daily (if not hourly), life keeps wanting to yank me back into its stank-filled mess! Yeah. It’s a lot, but I refuse to give up.
How’s it going for you?
I try to remember that half the work is noticing when I’m slipping — when my guard starts to wane and my mouth gets ready to curse out some shit I need to pause on. Stop, and don’t fall for it, or into it. Regroup, reset, and try again. All along, giving myself credit where I did good in sticking to my boundaries, and grace where I fell off.
I’ve long since left the “Be the Bigger Person” club, so I’m not sitting too heavy on the guilt. Instead, I keep the promise to myself to always try to do better next time. Really and truly, no performing.
So here’s a thought for the week:
What does being a good human look like for you right now?
And I don’t mean last year, or some ideal version of you — but the you showing up today.
Write it down, voice note it, or just think about it for a good, long moment. Because Thursday, I’m dropping The Good Human Work-in-Progress List — my own messy, honest version anyway.
Let’s see if we’re on the same page… close, or if you’re miles ahead of me.
