Motivation
Question Everything But Yourself.
I was stopped at a red light last week and this Equinox advertisement caught my eye. I often find myself searching for small signs or sparks of inspiration throughout my day for TR9, and this ad + the timing of me being the guest car to be stopped at light felt like a sign…or even a call from the ad itself…for me to notice it. Despite being a simple phrase, I’d argue it’s quite difficult to put that sentiment into practice when we aren’t feeling like our strongest selves. Let’s analyze the composition of the ad…what do you take away? I immediately jump to a message of mental resilience.
The top image: A news reporter quite literally appearing flooded, waist deep in water. To me, this symbolizes the information overload we navigate in our current digital landscape. We are submerged in data, opinions, and external noise that can feel…well, like a rising tide we’ll never overcome?
Directly below that: an image of a woman standing with an unwavering posture and no chaotic background behind her. To me, this is a symbol for the idea that our intuition is a reliable anchor, regardless of the environment.
Let’s carry that principle into our week? A reminder to trust our instincts. While external input has its place and value, we can always work on our awareness to not let those outside voices become a primary source of our validation.
There is a specific kind of power in looking at the chaos around you and deciding that your internal compass is the only thing that does not need to be interrogated.
Intention for the Week: Trust your instincts. While external input has value, don’t let it serve as the primary source of your internal validation.
