Monday Must: Navigating Change

Hi! My name is Niki. I am a multi-media artist. My work spans a variety of mediums from collage, to digital, and most recently animation and brand building. 

Change is crucial to our growth, but it can be completely ungrounding. These items have kept me connected to my inner self. Even when I felt like I lost her. 

Write love notes <3

There is something so special about receiving a hand-written letter. I leave notes for my friends, my partner, myself. It’s such a beautiful way to show how much you care. I love to hide them in books, suitcases, under pillows to be found at a future time.  There’s magic in surprising someone you love with a little message. (especially when it’s yourself)

Sometimes, just being there is enough.

Holding space for someone is one of the kindness offerings. I am so grateful for the friends, family, colleagues and lovers that sit quietly beside me, send good intentions, good morning texts, visit me in my dreams, drive all night just to see me. I try to do the same for whoever may need support, too. Giving is really receiving in so many ways. 

Move your body

flexibility in my body directly impacts flexibility in my mind. The last 2 years have taught me to stay open to the possibilities and flow gracefully with the changes. Daily movement, even just 10 minutes, helps me ground and guides me into keeping my heart space open.

Listen to your intuition.

The universe is always offering signs and guidance. Our bodies are so intelligent. See the signs. See the signs. See the signs. Believe what is being shown. And trust that we’re just doing the best we can with what we know at this moment. 

Jump in the ocean naked 

EVERY CHANCE YOU GET.
