Day 1
I am enough...
! Congratulations! Way to take a bold step
toward cultivating enoughness and sufficiency in YOUR life!
I don’t know about you, but
when I was growing up,
‘sufficient’ implied ‘just
okay’ or ‘mediocre.’
I mean, who strives to be sufficient
in math class? Sufficient was like a C,
maybe a C+ (at best).
But what if the way most of the
world understands sufficiency is a
little...well, a little off? At Shakti, we talk
about sufficiency as ‘enoughness,’
because particularly as women, we think
and talk about being enough, having
enough and doing enough all the
time...and I mean ALL the time!
So welcome to the 7-day
Enoughness Challenge, where for the
next week, we get to play with and in
our enoughness!
Throughout the week, we will be
noticing and cleansing all of the ways
scarcity creeps into our lives. Oh ya, I
forgot to mention, scarcity is the
opposite of enoughness and sufficiency,
so we definitely want to clear it away!
We will cleanse our vocabulary, thought
patterns and behaviors, making room for
enoughness in as many ways as we
possibly can.
We will also be engaging in a
practice of taking inventory - of thinking
and journaling about our resources
(ourselves, time, money, food,
connections, joy), when we feel like we
have enough and when we feel like we
need more. And news to all of us...
needing is very different from wanting!
Lastly, we will practice gratitude
daily. I would tell you why and how this
relates to enoughness and sufficiency,
but I’d rather you experience it for
yourself!
So, are you ready? Day 1, here we
come...

Day 5: Generativity vs. Productivity
Daily Oracle
Play & Practice
generativity (gen - er - a - tiv - i - tee)
All day, engage in the practice of asking
yourself, “What is the next best thing
according to my heart, body, and
intuition?” instead of doing what you think
you should do to be productive.
noun
1. the ability or power to create
productivity (proh - duhk - tiv - i - tee)
noun
1. a measure of the efficiency of
production
How is this different from how you typically
function? From how the world around you
functions?
Encourage someone else to play and
practice this too!
