40 days of commitment to myself 🫶

This sadhana (daily spiritual practice) is something I promised myself I would commit to early last month. *following my p**p cleanse lol if you know…*

This degree of self-responsibility has stretched my edges of resistance more than I realized I was signing myself up for this time around 😅

Consisting of:
- get on the mat: 40 minute sequence
- a photo of time finished
- a photo of view in front of me
- a selfie
- share it; along with a reminder to have a beautiful day.

These 5 happenings, along with a few other elements I have been practicing more flexibly, have not only reshaped my mornings - but my perspective on life.

I noticed myself dipping into another depressive cycle at the beginning of this year - “not again” said my monkey mind… and then I heard it in a different tone… not again. More definitive and with the remembrance that I get to choose differently. And so I did, and I will continue to do so. This is my promise to future me.

Even if I do not continue to share this same daily combination for social accountability, I can honor my progress and practice on. Thank you for being with me through this journey. I see you and I love you.

Getting out of the way is a continuous practice

Moving through thoughts of excuse or resistance
Creating space for that which is necessary
Discernment of what is helpful and what is distracting

Quieting the mind, opening the heart

This is where I am, in practice I am Home

Morning practices 🌟

Slow mornings in Mexico…

In times of travel, in extra motion, it can be extra challenging to stick to the practice.
Yet, practice on.
Remain accountable to Self.

Morning practice x3 🌟🌟🌟

A little glow up on today’s post-practice view…

Life giving sun
Rhythmic sound of waves and wind
Constant, most reliable and cyclical
As I receive, they ask for nothing in return.

Walking within a dream
I remember I am in
Cyclically I rise and repeat
Thank you, as a prayer.

Morning practices, hoy y ayer 🌟🌟

Change of scenery this AM

Playing with time and space
We make room for that
That which was
That which is
That which will always be

Morning practice 🌟

Getting up and at ‘em

Making it happen instead of making excuses.
Something I am practicing with this current discipline.
Pushing my edges of comfort.
Checking my mood / feelings.

Grateful for the sun. Another day to rise.

Morning practice 🌟

______________________________________________________

Empty out, fill up again.
Make a mess, clean up again.

Each day holds a series of reminders of how to be.
How to hold and be held.
How to create and let go.

There is no definitive manual.
Simply a series of happenings.
Choose what works, drop the rest.

Morning practices 🌟

Grace throughout the process

When I notice hard edges, or where I tend to be hard on myself and others…
I ask where can I soften? Welcome in more grace, compassion, availability for myself or this person.
Remember that I am never viewing the whole picture, just a moment in time.

Over a lifecycle of practice on this, meeting new edges and smoothing, softening, continuing to work with.

Morning practices 🌟
Today and yesterday for a little dual documentation (;

Almost didn’t share this because of the static in my hair. It is winter, we will get over it!!

Swipe to the last slide for a less static/more hair (;

I am glowing and glamorous today thanks to time spent with my dear , some afternoon sunshine and a matcha that told me I would glow like a lightbulb from - clearly it worked 💡

On this journey of embracing all that I am, I can more clearly accept and witness others through all of their moods and moments.

Lately, all I want to do is smile at people and tell them how wonderful they are. I know you are doing your best with the tools that you have and that you are capable of so many things. Be patient.

I am grateful for every one I get to work and play with, for the trust that I am granted and never take lightly. The opportunity to welcome someone on a journey into themselves, this is the greatest gift.

With a whole lotta love,
I thank you.

Did not mean to leave you hanging this AM,
Was up and going places shortly after.

Although, this really isn’t for you - it is for my health.

It is a promise to get on the mat and breathe, look out to the world in front of me in gratitude, and unapologetically love this body I am in.

Please forgive a selfish demeanor, but I have spent so much time giving too many f***s about what other people think that each day, this is a reclamation. A reconditioning of the mind.

This is my current morning practice 🌟
Thank you for witnessing.

🤍🙏

A busy mind
Is one that is oftentimes seeking peace

Forgetting that through chaos comes clarity
Solution, resolution is brought through restoration of balance
Harmony always exists
Even when you think you cannot find it
Check again

Morning practice 🌟

Welcoming another day. As it is, as I am.

Consistency creates change.
I remember this when I want to give up and turn back to old patterns, habits, beliefs.

Morning practice 🌟

🙏🤍

Almost forgot…

Today felt a little “off” - late start, didn’t get to parts of my practice until afternoon.

Yet things were still accomplished and joy and connection was also felt on multiple occasions.

Feelings are temporary. And informative, while not defining.

Morning (and afternoon) practice 🌟

🙏🤍

One step at a time
Especially on days where “I do not want to”
Or I “do not have enough time”

Sit in stillness
Then move forward
Begin again
Creating change is an internal experience

Morning practice 🌟

🙏🤍
