Sunday scaries no moooo! Let's work on creating a morning routine so sweet it fills you with all the good feels!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I love offering the idea of a morning menu to my clients. Most of us have enough going on in our lives that feels rigid, restrictive or rule based. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I believe that how you start the day can have a pretty big impact on how you feel throughout each day BUT that doesn't mean your mornings need to be lengthy and elaborate (unless that works for you 😉). ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Check the post for a light structure you can follow to create a morning menu that gives you some light structure with some flexibility to ease into your week. Drop one thing you're adding to your morning menu below!

PSA: If you live your life trying to prove yoursel

PSA: If you live your life trying to prove yourself to other people, always seeking approval, wanting absolutely everyone and anyone to like you above all else, you are setting yourself up for a ROUGH go. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ That path is exhausting and destructive, to say the least. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Putting your worth in the hands of other people, ESPECIALLY people you don't even like, just ain't going to help you feel good about yourself. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ That work, my friend, is all within YOU. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Only YOU get to explore and define who you are, and how you are, in this world. We can't possibly please absolutely everyone, and we certainly can't control how other people perceive us. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ The more we fight for that, the less and less connected to ourselves we become which often leads to a lot of inner turmoil and discomfort. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ So if you're needing a little FRIYAY reminder that you are incredibly worthy just as you are, right here, right now, this is IT! Go do you beauty. How can you sink your teeth into that a bit more this weekend? It's a practice. Be kind to yourself along the way!⁠⠀ ⁠

How I feel about the Alive Through Uncertainty Wor

How I feel about the Alive Through Uncertainty Workshop Series starting tomorrow!⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Heading into an action packed workshop series this month with a heart full of gratitude, space and intention. Uncertainty is one of those things that can knock us off our feet. Most of like to know what's reliable, consistent and to have control as much as possible. Lacking certainty can push you into fear, anxiety, and scarcity. It can have you feeling stuck and limited. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Uncertainty is an aspect of life that throws a lot of us for a loop, but ESPECIALLY with what's been going on in the world lately. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ This workshop series is going to be about so much more than "pushing past fear" because your fear is real. It's OKAY that you may be feeling sad, scared, angry, confused, frustrated, stuck and anything else. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ In our time together we'll be working through how to support where you are right now, with compassion and grace, while also moving forward, looking for what's workable and getting unstuck. It's a 3 part experience with lots of bonus goodies! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ We're getting started on Wednesday, July 8th so there's still time to join! Sign up through the link in my bio or send me a 🖐️ via DM to let me know you want to learn more.

Most of us humans are really, really good at criticizing and judging ourselves. But when you take a step back, how helpful is that? My guess is going to be -- not very. Actually, not at all. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I often support my clients in developing more self compassion, self appreciation, self understanding. One way we do that is by shifting from the critical and judgmental language to asking more supportive questions from a place of curiosity, exploration, possibility. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Not sure what that sounds like? Check out this post to give you some ideas of where you might start. Test it out. Take it for a run for a week by asking yourself one of these questions each time you find yourself feeling stuck, bored, frustrated or overwhelmed. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Remember - it's a practice in unlearning the unhelpful things and re-learning the more nourishing practices!

Rolling into this holiday weekend with a little GU

Rolling into this holiday weekend with a little GUT CHECK for you! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ What comes up when you ask yourself these questions? ⁠⠀ Is there anything you may want to shift, increase your awareness around or respond to differently? ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Learning to validate yourself is a practice, like many other things. We can get so used to looking to those around us to approve of and accept us, that we lose the ability to do that for ourselves.⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ At the end of the day, this is YOUR life. It's your heart, your soul, your relationships, your decisions... no one can know what is best for you because no one knows exactly what it's like to BE you. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ One way to let that feel empowering is to circle back to your values as a guide, to check in with yourself regularly. Start in the small moments to go with your gut, to validate your own emotions, decisions, needs first. ⁠⠀

I've heard this statement often in yoga nidra practices I listen to before bed. I find myself circling back to it regularly throughout my days as well. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ I thought it may support you, too! ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ So often we go through our days just pushing as hard as we can, ruminating in discomfort or trying our best to swat it away like an annoying fly. ⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ But what might it be like to instead notice & soften into a bit more intentional comfort (emotionally or physically)? Here are some small ideas:⁠⠀ ⁠⠀ Relax your shoulders.⁠⠀ Soften your gaze.⁠⠀ Take a deep belly breath.⁠⠀ Let go of tension between your eyebrows. ⁠⠀ Get a glass of water.⁠⠀ Have a snack or a meal.⁠⠀ Release that thought.⁠⠀ Smile. ⁠⠀ Put your phone down.⁠⠀ What’s calling to you when you read this?
