Studio Rules
These "rules" are here to help you recenter. Take back your autonomy, take back your breathe, take back your will, your thinking, and your decision making. We're no longer pondering, unpacking, or exploring: we're moving. Move away from people who only complain about whats happening and move toward those who are talking about and creating solutions. These rules are here to help you keep on track. We're rooting for you!
TAKE CARE OF YOU CORNER OF THE POND
Tend to your block. Speak to your neighbors, check on the older generation, pick up trash that doesn't belong to you, give someone a ride when you're not in a rush. Taking care of your
LOOK EVERYONE IN THE EYE
This may feel uncomfortable at first, but sit with it until it gets easier. Everything stems from this.
EVERYTHING IS MOVABLE
Anything is possible, and everything is movable. Prove to yourself that you have autonomy and ask for the upgrade, move the couch, throw away the last of the leftovers. Make a different decision in this moment.
FIND TIME TO FOCUS ON YOUR BREATHING
Set an alarm every day [for us its 5pm] to drop everything you're doing NO MATTER WHAT just to sit still and breathe. If you can't do that for yourself then you don't have the freedom you think you do.
FOLLOW YOUR FIXATION
When a song, a word, a name, a friend, a book, or an instrument keeps coming up...dig in: it's leading you somewhere.
NEVER OUTSOURCE YOUR THINKING
Learn and equip yourself first. Fear-mongering, and divisiveness are tactics used by people who depend on your worry and anxiety. Theres nothing to be anxious about when you've empowered yourself.
BARTER WITH PEOPLE IN YOUR COMMUNITY
The people in your neighborhood, town, and city are closer to you than any billionaire or corporation will ever be. You have skills, passion, and a craft that someone is looking for; exchange more than just "money" with your people.
VOLUNTEER WITH COMMUNITY OUTREACH
Self explanatory. Use the wealth tab to connect with a pantry or community hub in you city. Volunteer REGULARLY and make it part of your montly, weekly, and daily practice.
READ | WRITE | PODCAST
If you can't divide 43,522 by 327 without writing it down then you should be writing more of your thoughts. If the only reading that you're doing is for work or on social media then you should find other places to process information. If you've found yourself tired of your playlist then you should replace it with a podcast [not opinion based].
WATCH EVERY DOCUMENTARY ON THE ARCHIVE LIST
Replace your movie night feature film with a documentary from the archive list.
