GEMINI SELF CARE
It's time for self care! 💛
Self care is the highest form of self love. When it comes to Gemini, we pay attention to what’s going on in our mind. This delicate part of our being is what shapes our reality & the way we process information.
It’s just as precious as our body & soul. Our mental state influences the nervous system & overall well being. The quality of our thoughts reflect the quality of our lives. Our ability to express our inner world to others is how we form meaningful relationships.
At some point, we all need to learn how to communicate. This is where self care comes in. It’s the embodiment practice that creates space in our nervous system for the evolution of the Air energy within.
It’s how you train your mind to process information from every experience. So you can see the world thru the lens of curiosity instead of judgement. This is what keeping an open mind looks like, thru endless learning & asking the right questions.
The driving force behind Gemini is Mercury, the planet of intelligence, observation, & reception of information. All the things that contribute to healthy communication skills. Thru Mercury, we are able to learn from our experiences & interactions with life.
It’s a stressful world out there. Let’s be real. It’s impossible to pay attention to everything. So how do we actually listen? Selectively. We don’t see the world as it actually is, we can only perceive it as a product of our past experiences.
This is when the shadow side of Gemini comes out. Overthinking, confusion, nervousness. Our minds can get off track & make up stories to fill in the gaps to make the experience more interesting.
These qualities of Gemini come out when there’s nothing new to adjust to. Aka, when things get boring. This is why keeping an open mind & seeing the world with clear eyes is essential.
In order to get out of the endless loops we create in our mind, something has to stop us in our tracks. We have to give ourselves the space for new information that we haven’t considered before.
To go from “scattered thoughts” to “clear communication”. Instead of speaking from a place of judgement, we speak from the heart.
Luckily, Mercury gives us a way to lean into our curiosities. To help us develop our willingness to learn & our capacity to expect the unexpected.
How can we cultivate radically open minded perception?
By staying curious. Asking questions. Being surprised & delighted by life. Because without keeping a sense of wonder, we get bored.
The planet of intellect helps us process data so we can form thoughts & express the truths we hold in our heart. Self care is how we create a healthy relationship with Mercury.
We can achieve this through reading, writing, & listening.
Journaling is always a helpful way to clear the mind & process information. This is how you give yourself the opportunity to see your mental state from a different perspective.
What’s going on inside your head?
What truths are you holding?
Sometimes the stress we carry is a product of those endless stories that loop around inside our mind. Your journal is what stops it in its tracks.
Why does journaling work? Because you can see your thoughts outside of your mind & choose what you want to continue focusing your attention on. The mind can be trained to see a different reality. It’s how you release the tension of overthinking & scattered thoughts.
To be driven by mental tension is to be in a state of stress. Chronic stress becomes stagnant energy. Remember, Gemini wants to experience new things. Journaling helps us close the loop of old stories to make space for the new.
Having a consistent reading practice opens your mind to the endless learning that Gemini craves.
Ask yourself: What do I need to learn in this season of life? What am I curious about?
Reading helps slow down the quickness of the mind. Learning keeps life interesting.
Communication is a skill. Thru reading & writing, we sharpen our intellect. The truths we discover begin to form our thoughts & opinions that we can then share with those around us.
Listening to a podcast that you’re genuinely interested in is a great way to learn something new. It’s mentally stimulating & a good example of communication when there’s multiple people having a conversation.
Thru practice, we learn how to see multiple truths without judging the opinions of others. This is important for conflict resolution, which influences the quality of our relationships.
These are all healthy & aligned self care practices that shape the way we see reality. There are so many ways to learn! I hope you find moments to clear your mind & express what you have in your heart.
Stay inspired!
