Have you ever found yourself clinging to the familiar, even when it's no longer serving you? Sometimes, we find comfort in our routines and safety in our comfort zones, but in doing so, we close the door to growth and new possibilities. In this week's Mindful Monday, I want to share something I've experienced myself. It's the idea of embracing surrender, having faith in something greater, and daring to step out of the nest.
Have you ever truly stopped to wonder what it means to live in the present moment? We often hear about it in yoga classes—peace, love, and joy, and be in the now. But how often do we explore what this actually means in our daily lives? Or how to spend more moment “in the present moment?” Today, we’re diving into this concept and discovering how incorporating gentle yoga or chair yoga can help you relish the beauty of the present.
As we gently step into the new year, I wanted to share a valuable tool that has really worked for me—something that could become a powerful and often missed step on your path to health and wellness.
Take a moment to imagine the importance you place on your doctor's appointments. You prioritize and plan around it because youy know it’s essential for our health. And to be sure you don’t miss it, I’d be willing to bet you write it down and mark it on your calendar.
Now, what if you began treating your self-care in the exact same way?
As we sit at the brink of Christmas, it's easy to defer our goals, whispering to ourselves, "I'll get to it after the holidays." It’s a familiar refrain—whether it's losing weight, eating healthier, or finally starting that gentle yoga practice. There's a comforting allure in waiting for a "perfect time," yet, more often than not, that time eludes us for far longer than we initially plan.
As December begins and the holiday season takes over, it’s easy to let your regular routines slip away. Suddenly, the things you do to feel your best—like moving your body, eating well, or practicing mindfulness—get pushed aside. You might think, It’s just for now. I’ll get back to it after the holidays.
