mini thingies

 

Bobby pins all lined up. 🧘‍♀️ 🧡💛🤍

Five - my four babies plus the AuPair - sick kids at home will fray the nerves. In these strenuous circumstances, tiny tasks placate the senses and alleviate the pressure. This is a fine time to classify the medicine cabinet, sort out the supplement stash, clip some finger and toe nails or arrange your bobby pins.

To secure yoga braids - a card for home, another to go.

Honor the Caregiver with the intention on returning to one’s self with a small gesture. This projects an imprint onto the future. All thanks to those hair clips at the ready - 😉🐩🎀 - I attended an invigorating 5:45am yoga sweat session and feel able to tackle this days’ assignment.

Urdhva Paulina

 

Urdhva Mukha Svanasana - Upward Facing Dog Pose 🐩 

💝For the love of my Bernedoodle, Gala and this heart opener.

My habitual yoga classes have recurrently barely been pausing in URDHVA and head straightaway to ADHO Mukha Svanasana where we loiter and embellish. In which case I have been borrowing from Peter to pay Paul — staying put in Urdhva Mukha Svanasana for extra breaths as I feel the hour - and life -  feels too rife with all the downward facing.

The second law of thermodynamics states that the universe naturally tends towards increasing disorder and dispersal of energy throughout available space. 

Therefore, it is WORK to simply NOT slide backwards. & We must Continuously REFINE our Rhythm and Routine to make any progress. Analyze your days and identify specific areas of inadequacy — approach one pinpointed flaw individually with a fresh categorical strategy. Yes, it takes INCESSANT exertion to mobilize towards increasing order and organized energy. Get out that fine-tooth comb; Administer your days in great detail with extreme care.
