I’m so happy to be recording with Dee this month…I missed her! I thought this would be the perfect time for us to talk about this past year. I wanted us to reflect on 2019 and make a list of some things the past year taught us or what we took from the universe. Here they are:
Since I announced the purchase of our property and our intention to create our home and my retreat ranch there- life has been full of so much joy + a lil frustration. Isn’t that how it goes sometimes?
My sweet friend Kim DeMoss and I were chatting recently about all the great things going on with Project Mindful Movement when we discovered the next topic for my Podcast. As Kim felt pulled in different directions and not sure if it was all feeling how she wanted it to feel.
Back in my corporate days (err a long time ago), one of the things I did was host occasional corporate leadership retreats and absolutely loved it. Then, after I left corporate I dilly dallied in some amazing things and then I hosted my first wellness retreat about 7+ years or so ago.
There is an epidemic (trend?) of feeling sick. This is in no way saying that there aren’t terrible illnesses and tragedies in the world- only that there is a significant increase in those of us feeling ‘sick’ and sadly- more women are being affected than men (or at least reported).
It has been over a month since I took my very own retreat trip with Stoked Yogi. I host retreats myself so it is such a treat for me to take a retreat trip. Not only can I dig into my own stuff, but I can also understand what it is like for a guest – it’s a great opportunity all the way around.
Bills. Work. Family. Social obligations. It can all get to be too much sometimes. Wouldn’t it be nice to escape it all and recharge – a getaway that has nothing to do with work, a family visit, or a wedding?
Remove things that do not serve a purpose in your life. One simple sentence. So much depth and meaning. I was at yoga today when my Restorative Yoga Instructor said those powerful words.
We are in an age where sarcasm is where we hide. We project our tiredness, our busyness, our unhappiness, our stress- on our shirts, mugs, cars, social media and in our homes. Doing this only compounds what you don’t want- it confirms the very things you are complaining about.
We probably have all had those relationships that rub us the wrong way… and some of these relationships are more extreme than others. Tune into our podcast this week to find more ways to identify them in your life and handle the situation, whether in a long-term or budding relationship.
