Slow Down

This Oura Ring is telling me when I'm stressed and when I'm restored. I was quite surprised by how big of a difference being outside can be. It also reminds me to focus on recovery after 2 back-to-back classes. I was gonna go to the gym at 7:30 am but after seeing my stress level for the past 2 days, I decided to slow down: steam some leftovers, make myself a big glass of honey lemon ginger drink, and just sit down to draw and journal. Watercolour is also a great medium for me coz you have to slow down for it to dry btw layers.

Just learnt about this old Tibetan vow that they do before the wedding ceremony. It means you stop trying to control who your partner becomes - you meet them again, daily, with fresh eyes. Love is born in discovery - in watching someone unfolds.

After marriage, many stop exploring. The heart closes the moment curiosity ends. Real marriage is two transformations that agree to walk together.

Ask this question: when was the last time you were surprised by them? If you can't answer, your love is asleep.

I feel like is always surprising me with the many hobbies he picked up. And shaving his head at 11:45pm for the first time.

P.s. this is the first page of a new journal I got while in Japan!
