To call in a new feeling or intention, to revisit what I want or what I want more of in my life, a time to recreate my dream world, to love & care for myself deeply.

🅣🅞🅝🅘🅖🅗🅣 create a new moon ritual for yourself.
During this dark side of the moon 🌑
take time to go inward ...
make some tea & journal on your intentions, light some candles & take a bath, do a moon salutation or yin yoga,
or
simply rest 𓀿 𝒶 𝓁ℴ𝓃ℊ 𝓈𝒶𝓋𝒶𝓈𝒶𝓃𝒶!

ᴅᴏɪɴɢ ᴛʜᴇ ᴡᴏʀᴋ 𓀡 𓀿
You often hear people say you need to “do the work” ... sᴇʟғ ᴡᴏʀᴋ 𓂉
I have been doing “the work” on myself for most of my adult life.
It’s what drew me to yoga in my early 20s.
Working ... to heal from a lot of childhood chaos.
Along the way, I have had a few pitfalls which took me off my path throwing me into some even deeper holes...
but eventually I climbed out & worked some more.
Thinking that some day, after “doing the work”, I could check the box and be all good.

I have come to realize, for me,
that day isn’t coming ...
but not because I’m not worthy, not good enough or just too fu**ed up...
BUT because i am ʜᴜᴍᴀɴ & that’s just life.

These days I’m seeking ME !!!
Still working ʙᴜᴛ
I have stopped trying to change myself &
now want to ʙᴇ ᴍʏsᴇʟғ!
This to me is sᴇʟғ ᴡᴏʀᴋ, sᴇʟғ ʟᴏᴠᴇ + sᴇʟғ ᴄᴀʀᴇ....
being myself ♡ ︎being human ♥︎

Doing a lot of walking these days. 👟
Really trying to really listen
to my ʙᴏᴅʏ 𖨆 vs my ʙʀᴀɪɴ 🧠

My brain wants to demand that I do my ashtanga yoga practice without modifications & get out on long runs .
Like I have been able to do for years.
But that’s painful for me right now.

Somedays I try. I push. I feel pain. It hurts.

Somedays I listen. I walk. I feel good. It heals.

These days, I am keeping it basic.
Everything feels super complicated,
conflicted & stressful so for this
first new moon of 2021,
I’m going simple...
🅛🅞🅞🅚 for the good 👀

It’s so easy to get caught up in all the bad...
there’s so much of it & it can feel
so overwhelming and hopeless.

seek it out...
everyday, everywhere & in everything...
embrace it!!

When you focus on the good,
the good gets better!!!

self improvement ➪ self liberation

"Self liberation means freedom
from our limiting beliefs,
our misguided idea that there is something wrong with us that needs to be ‘fixed’.
Our constant attempts to ‘get it right’ and to be ‘perfect’
leave us in a state of exhaustion,
never resting in the present moment,
never happy with who we are.”

“Perfection isn’t possible
but
transformation is” 🦋

To remind yourself of the insights you have gained with time, temporarily adopt an outsider's perspective and carefully consider how your life in the present differs from the range of experiences you lived through in the past. Creating a written list, in a journal or otherwise, of those strengths, aptitudes, and inner qualities you now attribute to yourself can help you accept that you are not the same person you were one year ago, five years ago, or 10 years ago. Your attitudes, opinions, and values were likely markedly different, and these differences can be ascribed to your willingness to accept that you still have much to learn. If you have difficulty giving yourself credit for these changes, think about the goals you realized, the lives you touched, the wisdom you acquired, and the level of enlightenment you attained over the past years.

quitting,
not good enough. ⚠︎︎
It means flexibility, growth,
surrender,
letting go, recreating,
it means honoring where you are at
right now
in the world & on your own personal journey,
learning, evolving,
it means LIVING out your dreams ✰

In some ways it seems we have been in a very long state of winter ....
In & out of hibernation/ quarantine.
The energy & feelings of winter ....
going inward, stillness, rest, staying at home, baking, reading...
Even depression, isolation, sadness.
So this seasonal shift doesn’t feel so different to me.
But I want to find ways
to let go of what now needs to go
& let in what needs to come in ~
as we begin this new season ...
& soon this new year.

How are you feeling ?

“Though your daily schedule may remain more or less the same no matter what time of year it is, you will find in winter many opportunities to honor the way in which you are impacted by this most magical of seasons. At first glance, the world may seem desolate during the coldest months. Yet there are many unique and stimulating sensory experiences to be had -- in the intricate beauty of individual snowflakes, the patterns of frost that form on your windows, the tang of smoke from wood-fueled fireplaces, the crunch of freshly fallen snow under your feet, and the briskness of the air. Do not be afraid to venture joyfully out into the cold and the snow as you may have when you were a child. A tingling and reddened nose is a small price to pay for a clear mind and invigorated soul. If your body articulates a desire to rest, give yourself permission to spend your free time reading, writing in your journal, daydreaming, engaging in artistic pursuits, playing board games, working a puzzle or meditating. “
