History repeats itself. Familiar tactics that no one condemned, so why wouldn’t they do that again?

I invite you to explore these 5 practices as you prepare and go into this upcoming month 🌙

1. You don't have to push yourself when you're tired. Your body is working hard day and night for you - and you cannot overload an exhausted body asking for rest, and expect a positive outcome.

2. You don't have to go to every social gathering you're invited to. Learning to say no and prioritizing your current needs is important for your body and your soul. Being constantly overstimulated can put you in a state of fight or flight.

3. You don't have to diet or lose weight. Crash diets do more harm than good, especially if you're already spending 16 hours in a fasted state. In the evening, focus on nourishing your body with nutritious meals, so you can have energy the next day.

4. You don't have to chase a high from caffeine, sugar or high intensity training. Unpopular opinion - if you're a sympathetic driven person, then you're likely attracted towards everything that keeps up the "high", but have you considered if these things are currently serving you or keeping you on the wheel?

5. You don't have to keep going until your to-do-list ends. Because guess what, it probably doesn't. So if you tend to feel overwhelmed, maybe this is a good time to take a step back and experience not always wanting more.

What might you add to the list?

Constantly torn between never wanting to leave your side and “doing something useful” with my life.

I share here mostly about my work. I love my work to bits, I love all my clients. I love seeing movement change their lives. I love witnessing people feel sensations in their body for the first time in a long time. I feel very blessed to have made so many sacrifices and learned so much to have this career I’m so passionate about, and to have survived 4 tough years of self employment.

But a part of me also knows that time is the only thing that we can’t get back. Sometimes I want to just be with you all day. I want to have no plans, no appointments, no meetings. I want to not have to show up.

You can want two very different things. At the same time.
