Your free time, leisure time, is meant for restoration and well-being.
Monetization of our free time is robbing us of our money and our peace. Be weary of any “leisure” activity that costs you. (In fact, your leisure activities, if truly personally enriching, should be more likely to make you riches.)
 |
| Namaste Vinyasa - Prayer Hands Flow Inhale - reach arms out and up to meet the palms overhead. Exhale - bring hands, palms together, to heart center. |

| Upavistha Konasana - Seated Straddle Pose with block Force and berate yourself for what you cannot do in order to stay stagnant and stuck (and, possibly, injured.) |
You cannot be everything, you will have to pick and choose — and the sooner the better (besides, it isn’t written in stone — at least, not yet). ☠️ 👻
 |
| Tadasana - Mountain Pose Let us focus on our feet and hand health. Open, close and activate the fingers. Lift, spread and control the movement of the toes. |
Somehow I have been rolling onto the outside edges of my feet when I walk these days. Upon further investigation it was brought to my attention that ‘witch’s foot’ is from forging my own path and going my own way. Guilty as charged! But pain there suggests extreme self-protection: guardedness and detachment (from the mainstream). AKA taking my individuality too far?
PS: Excessive supination can also be exacerbated from muscle strengthening.

“Being in ‘nature’ is good for us,” “get out into ‘nature’,” “commune with ‘nature’ daily,” “eat more naturally, wear natural fibers, naturalify your home…” — hold the phone — we ARE nature!!! ☎️
Sacrificing for your dream. Some days I look around (at my little life) and I feel overtaken with awe and immensely ‘blessed’. So much so, that the beauty of it can feel precarious (“too good to be true, so much to lose!”). But, as my husband elucidates, this life did not appear out of nowhere - myriads of sacrifices (countless other possibilities passed up) befalls when we make each choice. We are choosing one of infinite. So when the bliss is so joyous we panic, remember we had our hand in this; these are the steady and continuous - unprecarious - fruits of our labor. 🍇
