We all carry those imagined versions of ourselves… crafted from childhood dreams, cultural scripts, or the quiet pressure to prove we’re “enough.”
But what happens when that picture no longer fits? What happens when you wake up and realize you’ve outgrown the person you were trying so hard to become?

Soundtrack of Right Now
Music has a way of speaking straight to your soul. On days when your emotions feel overwhelming or tangled, your musical choices will reflect how you feel. Today’s practice is simple: build a playlist that captures your emotional landscape right now, and a few others for when you want to boost your mood.
Start by checking in with yourself. Are you feeling happy? Restless? Content? Whatever it is, open your music platform and begin selecting songs that match that feeling. Let the rhythms, lyrics, and tones reflect your inner world as it is in this moment. Create a couple playlists to cater to your moods including one for when you need some uplifting music.
This practice is that it helps you become more emotionally aware, without needing to put everything into words or writing. Listening to your playlist can help you process, validate, or shift your energy depending on what you need most.
Create some “Mood of the Moment” playlists with 5–10 songs that capture your emotions. Give it a name that resonates with you, and play it back when you want to validate a feeling.
