Matsyasana - Fish Pose
Vinyasa = no thoughts! Moving through postures breath by breath reduces opportunities for extraneous thoughts. I forgot my water bottle in the studio today. (& Yesterday I forgot my mat!) Not because I wasn’t thinking, but because I was thinking too much!!
What is your illness telling you? STOP most of what you’re doing, get quiet & listen intent-ly.
My head is now submerged in what feels like a giant cotton ball and I’m hearing from my dis-ease that I’ve been consuming too much. Intaking kids’ equipment, junk food, other’s opinions, gossip, media, activity, meetings… throat, nose, ears and eyes are ailing. As I have been actively releasing much of this worldly influx as of late, I can also concur this is another important, physical step in the cleansing. ☁️
Handpick preferences and priorities. Your own, not others’.
If you’re not fond of that THING (the fit of your sweats, the tightness of your sports bra, the cut or color of your thong, the stroke of your hairbrush, the ingredients in your lip gloss, the squeeze of the scrunchie on your wrist…) today, it will inconvenience you even more tomorrow, but you will forget your aversion over time - so OUT NOW with that thingie! And all of its unsatisfactory thingie friends, too.
Be true to yourself in this present-day era: balance inner knowing with open curiosity. There is always room for improvement.
Camatkarasana - Wild ThingWhat do you DESIRE (to wear, eat, do, see, be) TODAY?
How to become aerodynamic (for a SMOOTH efficient life)? Reduce drag and streamline your shape. As in - goodbye more and more things and hello more and more yoga; litheness and health :)
The weather is quite bleak this week in Colorado, so I’m brainstorming Autumn’s sleek trim-down clean-up schematic. To excavate a layer deeper into the household’s gazillion items, I will ask “would I bring this in a move?” Not moving, but act as if. Aerodynamic.
Homemaking is love - giving the gift of beauty, comfort, fun, happiness, health, hope, joy, magic, safety, security, success to those in your home. And this life-styling is modeling a concrete methodology for your kith and kin to recreate inner peace and outer beauty for themselves and others anywhere, anytime.
40 days away from a home, schedule and phone full of trappings — it’s not easy returning to all that I must SUPERINTEND. The separation will fuel me in ejecting more, mas, encore !!! And sooner not later.
P.S. The procuring of such items was made possible by strategic, color-coded closet organization (and periodic paring down,) allowing myself to plainly explain and my husband to effortlessly locate the 10 or so sought-after items in mere minutes via FaceTime. 🛍️
As a former clothing COLLECTOR (hoarder-squirrel 🐿️!) this is a new frontier for me —
Wear your SEASONAL (shop once quarterly max) wardrobe so much that there is no question as to whether you love and keep the clothing longer OR, NO QUALMS, they’ve fulfilled their destiny and you don’t!
