The Great Exploration – Mapping the Interior of Your Soul
🌌 The Great Exploration – Mapping the Interior of Your Soul
Happy February 18th!
Today is a day for looking both upward at the stars and deep into the batteries of our own drive. It is National Battery Day and the anniversary of the Discovery of Pluto in 1930. We also celebrate the birthday of the legendary Toni Morrison, one of the most profound voices in literary history.
This combination is a masterclass in self-love: recharging your internal energy (Battery), redefining your boundaries (Pluto), and owning the power of your own story (Morrison). In this month of Love and Black History, we honor the "interior life" as a sacred space for growth.
1. The Pluto Principle: Redefining Your Space
When Pluto was discovered on this day in 1930, it expanded our understanding of the solar system. Decades later, it was "reclassified" as a dwarf planet. Pluto didn't change, but our definition of it did.
🔑 The Action: The Self-Classification Audit
Are you letting someone else's definition of "success" or "worth" label you?
Self-Love Tip (Purpose): Like Pluto, you might be "far out" or different from the "mainstream" planets. That doesn't make you less vital. Today, write down one label you’ve been given that you are officially shedding.
The Goal: Reclaim your right to define yourself. Whether you are the "main character" or a "quiet moon," your Purpose is valid regardless of how the world classifies you.
2. The Toni Morrison Lesson: The Passion of Your Narrative
Toni Morrison famously said, "If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it." This is the ultimate call to Passion. During Black History Month, we celebrate her legacy of centering the Black experience with unparalleled grace and power.
🔑 The Action: The Unwritten Chapter
What is the "book" of your life that you’ve been waiting for permission to write?
Self-Love Tip (Passion): Don't wait for a publisher, a partner, or a parent to tell you your story is worth telling. Spend 15 minutes today doing something that feels like "writing your own story"—whether that’s literally journaling, or making a bold choice that reflects your true desires.
The Result: When you take the pen, you stop being a character in someone else's drama and start being the creator of your own destiny.
3. National Battery Day: Monitoring Your Charge
We rely on batteries for everything, yet we often forget to check our own "state of charge." Self-love is the charging cable for your soul.
🔑 The Action: The Energy Inventory
Check your "Battery Percentage" right now. If you are under 20%, what is your "Power Save Mode"?
Self-Love Tip (Pleasure): Identify your "Fast Charger"—that one activity that gives you a quick boost (a 10-minute nap, a favorite song, a glass of water).
The Goal: Don't wait for a total shutdown to recharge. Practice Pleasure by plugging into rest before you hit zero.
"Freeing yourself was one thing, claiming ownership of that freed self was another." — Toni Morrison
This February 18th, explore the far reaches of your potential. Recharge your spirit, redefine your boundaries, and take full ownership of the magnificent story you are writing.
What is the "Fast Charger" activity you will use today to boost your energy?
