A New Day is Setting

Have you pondered what it means to actively 'know thyself'? Or when it's said, 'You must do-the-work' or 'you need to work on you'? What does that look-like exactly (working-on-me)?  How would one even begin to engage Thyself (Temet Nosce)?  Does it chiefly consist upon taking oneself on dates? Holding conversations with oneself? Spending time&attention exclusively on the things that suit one's forward-movement and pleasure-principles? Or maybe, investing in self-based assessments and self-driven scholarship? Or treating oneself to extra-curricula activities? Or expanding one's discovery-zones and waves of wisdom? Or reading bedtime stories to onself...or speaking softly to oneself and truly trusting one's heart-over-head contemplation (vs. head-over-heart). It could also mean exploring the stories one tells itself, as well as serving as the protector of what's allowed in through the eyes and ears. Which can easily include keeping a keen eye upon the company kept and, or the conversations with others that are unjust and full of force and fiery. 

The present energies that many of us are personally and professionally contending with is challenging us to dig deep and fasten our sights to only that which is emotionally-intelligent. The superficial mannerisms are slowly but surely dissolving. And it's no wonder why that while so-many planets are retrograding, we are experiencing such hardships (on such intimate levels); requiring us to confront the tough stuff, the invisible S.E.L.F., and the areas that we've always wanted to get closer to but have placed at a distance.
