If it tilts the crown, it\u2019s not for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That’s how intentional you have to be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s simple: if it makes you put your head down or feel uncomfortable, remove it, adjust it, but don\u2019t fold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s get into it:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stay grounded <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Last year, we talked about staying grounded by nature<\/a>, meaning going out into nature and positioning your mind, body, and feet, essentially.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s like a mental reset, adjusting yourself back to you by using God\u2019s earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Touching grass, if you need me to be specific.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting my hands in the soil<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s how I feel more connected to the ground nowadays. Each year it blooms and grows; right now, I am okay with a lil dirt under my nails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, not chaos or messy friend groups, but actually getting my hands dirty to create longevity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, not drama, or chaos, more so working, using my hands as an instrument.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019re in a dry society right now <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Folks aren\u2019t using their hands to create longevity; they\u2019re texting and scrolling away. They refuse to put their hands in the soil, but will scroll for two hours, then wonder why their life is kinda a bore or restricted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You gotta plant the seeds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take off the shield, the fake mask, set the phone down, and plant the seeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Stop being so obligated to document it and get your hands dirty. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ground was actually still too wet <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It was defrosting just a few weeks ago. I know, how do I know?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I placed my hands in the soil and felt it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was actually too cold to plant anything in early May.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My plants died because it wasn\u2019t the right time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even the animals knew that, that\u2019s why they came and snatched them out of the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was too easy.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
