Separation anxiety
So I’m doing this thing right now. I’m in the middle of taking my yoga teacher training to the next level (500 RYT), but that’s not it. I’m seeking the truth, and being willing to come apart. Well, this week, anyway.
Truth
#NoFilter
We all know at least one of these people. They are the ones who say exactly what they’re thinking. They don’t hide their emotions, seem to share every opinion, and are unapologetically who they are every moment of every day. As you think about a person like this in your life, you may find yourself of …
Free to be
Birthdays are a perfect time for reflection and taking stock. For checking in with where you are, and asking how you got there over the past year, or longer. They also offer the fresh slate of a new year ahead, stretching into the unknown, full of the possibility of good that can be done for …
Monday Moment: As you see it
This isn’t the first time that Monday has inspired us to think about perspective, and how what you see AND how you see it really is what you get. In other words, getting going this morning is only going to be as rough as you make it. Monday is just a day, with a beginning, …
“No-Fail” Friday: IRL
This week’s earlier post was about a lot of things. Essentially, it distilled down to the discomfort of transitions. Waiting when you’re ready right now. Uncertainty when you want answers pronto. Hearing “no” about what you thought was next when you were so sure the correct answer was “yes.” The common theme among all of …
Honest to goodness
They say the truth can set you free, but it can also hurt at times – right? It can surprise us, delight us, and yes, also definitely make us afraid, especially if it’s a brand new revelation for us. Moving towards the unexpected – even if it’s something great – is scary, and fear about that …
You and yours
One of the most frustrating pieces of advice to receive is the instruction to “be yourself.” Often, the reflexive internal response is “Yes, but how?” or maybe even “Which one?” When all you want to know is how to present yourself in a certain situation, “being yourself” feels like not making an effort, which – …
Groundwork
I will tell you what…those of us whose work involves the practice of stress management in some shape or form have had our work cut out for us lately. Life usually throws us enough curveballs in this day and age to keep us all bobbing and weaving through the stress gauntlet, but lately, there have …
No-Fail Friday: Goes without saying…?
This week, we definitely took a swim in the deeper end of the mindfulness pool with our conversation on the truth, and its various complexities. If you stuck around for it, I give you credit, as it wasn’t the easiest stuff to digest. But, such is the work of growing into ourselves, right? If you …
True story
They say that it can be stranger than fiction. Sometimes it hurts. Allegedly, it can also set you free. It is critically important, whenever possible, to speak it to “power.” How can one thing be and do all of this, and probably more? Even more so, how can one thing that is capable of all …
