Especially On Tuesday

Heya wonder-fill human 👋 You’re most welcome to jump into a thinking thought out loud as I share a little line of thinking connecting what we have with what we do and how we can leverage this to have more say in our day-to-day view.Soz it’s a little on the quiet side of sounds, please know this means my insides are screaming and so to speak any louder doesn’t seem possible or practical. Please put your loose listening ears on and be sure to potter about as you listen to the interwoven and interweaving lines of thinking coming together to grow something before it is knowingly known.Remember, as always and ever, please take that which is yours and lovingly leave the rest.K.

A little language thang that is working for this human that may work for you too. You’re most welcome to jump in and join the conversation about the part sorry plays in our conscious and unconscious utterances. Within these words you’ll learn a little about sorry , even littler about soz, and grow a sense of how they’re different and can be more when they’re applied as shared here.In saying that last part, everything here is just only ever a suggestion and you’re egged on to break and make your own rules of thumb in the way your words work for you.The point the purpose and the potential here is to lighten the load on the little slips and to make the sads and sorrows mean more.As always, you’re encouraged and encourageable to be loose on the ear, curious on the mind, and forever working alongside and with your words in the wild.K.

This is a catch up conversation to close a loop opened in our chat yesterday. I mentioned to things I realised while reading Thinking Fast Thinking Slow and totes forgot to circle back to close that loop — if it were a series, it would be a spin off of a supporting character’s life coming into their own.Until when, take a leaf from my language on Friday…keep it loose and love your best life out loud 😉K.

You’re most welcome to jump in and listen to how I navigated (and continue to navigate) a recent experience and episode of extended deepening depression deep. The repeated sunken sad is super normal for me and now I have enough resources to really realise there is opportunity to leverage these moments and meet them with a task that needs doing which has the same characteristics.Specifically, because of my continued efforts to shape and structure my social supports and days and ways (yup, a lot through the lens of my language), I realised the real opportunity I could do something that needed to be done slowly and with a sense of calm…and guess what, these are the leading two characteristics of my deep deepening.While my low lingers continues to soften with each sunrise, I can see where I have been and what’s ahead. It’s a strange feeling each time that without reason or rhyme, this is normal for many of us.So I share this out loud for the purpose of letting you in on a little of the language that can truly evolve an experience, grow a knowing, and find a peace in the persistence.Until when, may your days be by your design and may you always have a sense of knowing your you is the best you you can do.K.🎶 The beautiful genius that is Florence and the Machine - Freeimportant: please note that because we are talking about health and my personal relationship with working with medical professionals, that everything shared is my experience and it’s up to you to work with your trusted professional to support your choices.

You’re most welcome to listen lightly to the idea of inviting a conversation about a conversation not yet conversationed aloud by asking a simple question. So often, almost often, we can walk away from conversations wondering what was not said aloud. You know the kinda conversations where there is the unspoken wanting to be welcomed into the room and yet it can feel a little forced and or weird just to call it out directly. If you’ve had one or more of these conversations, then this conversations about conversation may be a handy knowing to know and have within arms reach in your ways and days.Personally and professionally I have pulled a version of this question out over the last week and it has worked wonders in the most wonderful of ways. Some conversations were meaning-fill and some where just for fun — all the conversations were worthy and worth their weight in gold.Until when, please lightly listen and only take the part that stands out to you with you. Then it’s yours to do as only you can do from here.K. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit kathyrast.substack.com

You’re most welcome to walk among these words doing as they have done. As this one human continues to peel back the layers of complexity in our days and our ways, there is a growing knowing in choices being unconsciously silenced aloud.From this conversation I found a connection of one experience I am navigating, namely the over eager insertion of ai into my everyday experience. This conversation is neither for nor against, it’s about looking at the purpose and how it’s too easy to miss the point. It’s that growing sense of the fast pace set long before now leading us away from the best pace for our human-ing experience.This convo is a ponder in progress with only parts of clarity clearly communicated as it becomes clear — soz and you’re welcome.Anyhooo, thanks for playing your part and talking with me, as connecting with the legacy of the Luddites, I’m now seeing a new view on shaping my relationship with technology from today.You’re invited to take that which is only yours and leave the rest.K.

Hello Wonder-Filled Human 👋This one’s a curious one. It feels like it is what it needs to be for now. And, it feels like there is more to grow in what we know from it. Across this conversation, I look to where we'‘re going……and immediately take a sharp left.Coming back (thanks to trusting tethers of my notes keeping the promised topic front of mind), I walk us back to the idea of the idea of our responsibility of our own happiness and look at little at the real-world costs of actually being happy in our ways and days.It’s funny, while I mention a real-world human-ing experience of peeling back the excess, the too much, and the ‘wtf?!s’ the costs continue to mount in expected and unforeseen ways. Here I share a little of a couple of thoughts thinking while in the wild with the words of others and how I clicked, collected, and connected them into what I was making sense of in my human-ing in progress. It’s an easy listen, one that isn’t there for every word to be heard. By just listening to the cadence, the coarseness, or the curious shifting shifts across the topics is more than enough for this one. Now with those words doing as they are doing, it’s now up to you lean in, listen, and learn what you will click, collect, and connect to that which is yours today and enjoy the growing knowing in leaving the rest.K.
