From The Key to Embodiment, Freedom & Holistic Wellness: Tenci Campbell – S3, Ep.7
“Mira: How do you find those moments of healing or of thriving?
Tenci: I think that part of thriving is doing it in the mess, in the thick of it. Because nine times out of ten — and I’m just throwing out something arbitrary, I am not a statistician— most of the time when you're reflecting on what it takes to find your joy, to thrive, to really be in that, there has to be a reckoning moment of, “That’s not here right now. It doesn’t seem accessible to me.”
[…] I have to make this into a daily routine. It has to be something that’s systematized. And when I say systematized, I do not mean you have to have a checklist and you have to do all of the things. It’s really like, even if it’s just five minutes that I’ve taken to check in with myself and see, what is it that would be in my thrive zone? What is something that I would love to experience that I’m truly needing more of in my life and feeling called to in my spirit — and that I have the capacity for — so I’m not going to dip into depletion when I’m trying to replenish.
Especially because most of the time it is in those messy moments when you’re like, “I’m going to have this meditation routine. It’s happening. I started already.” And then the next day happens, and it’s out the window. The baby’s crying, things are happening, something’s on the calendar you didn’t even know about. How did I miss that? It’s all of these things that happen. Life coming at you. Life challenges happen in a cyclical fashion.”
