Ask yourself: what does it feel like to be strong? What does it look like to embody strength and resilience and courage? Settle into these inner spaces of strength, the glimmers of light shining like stars within your soul. Then, make this promise: I will stay strong in the overwhelm of uncertainty. And when I feel tired and defeated I will rest, and sit still, and draw upon my own reserves, and then I will rise again and light my own flame to illuminate the path for myself and the ones I love. By being strong for myself, by showing up again and again even after I’ve been challenged by worry, I make the whole world strong. . . . Jumping in on the #calmmindcalmyogi challenge because I think meditation is so important and it also comes in so many forms! Today I’m sharing something I wrote this week because writing is a form of meditation for me, especially after a few moments of stillness and when I’m processing challenging emotions. . . .

A few things helping me stay positive right now that could maybe help you too: 1. Sunshine and fresh air!☀️There’s no better medicine. Bringing my computer outside to work in the yard helps kick the cabin fever. If the weather doesn’t allow, think open blinds and cracked windows! 2. Self-care. I’ve been working from home full-time for 4 years and I still try to shower and get dressed for work because it works wonders for my confidence and work-ethic (thank you @modernsagedenver for the amazing cut and conversation yesterday!)🍊Also, putting citrus essential oils in a diffuser fights germs and boosts mood for everyone in the house. 3. Gratitude. Continuing my morning gratitude practice I started at @fullcircleyogaschool last month helps keep my perspective in check so I remember what’s most important. I’m especially grateful for my friend @asiya and her wisdom on this. 4. Cleaning and organizing. There’s always something around the house that could be cleaned or organized. I’ve also been enjoying digital decluttering to clear out devices and make them less distracting to minimize screen time. 5. Creativity. I’m grateful for the time to work on writing poetry, trying new recipes, and planning yoga classes.✨I’ll also be creating some online classes, so let me know what yoga and meditations you’d like to see! 6. This quote: “what lies behind us, and what lies before us, are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson . . . #positivityisachoice #selfcareideas #healthisweath #gratitudeisamust #workingremotely

I’ve spent the last 28 days on an island, learning how to better teach and live the practice of yoga. Untethered from social media, my laptop, and television, I’ve had time to reconnect to the deepest and most important parts of myself. I could write a book on all the things I’ve learned, but the real lessons range far beyond anatomy or ayurveda or alignment. The real lessons are engraved in late night conversation, in ceremony, in song, and in moments shared together. The single hardest thing about following my truth has been feeling alone on the journey, but I now know that following my heart brings me closer to the souls I’ve always been destined to meet. To belong is one of the most important aspects of being human, and thats why it feels like gold. It feels like the thrill of jumping off a bridge into an ocean-fed river, like dancing and singing your heart out in the living room, like watching the sun set over the water and realizing there is nowhere else to be. I want to capture this feeling in a bottle, to seize it with my fists and keep it close before time sweeps it away. But then I remember to breathe, to be. I remember gratitude and grace. I remember that for every question I have, I already know the answer. In this stillness I can feel for certain that my heart has been cracked open wide, and within this great new prairie inside me, I’ve found a greater capacity to love. To my Full Circle Yoga School family, thank you for letting me belong to you — you have been my greatest teachers. @fullcircleyogaschool

Change is simple: When a person or place becomes too small to hold the enormity of your dreams, you go. You go and you don’t look back and you don’t worry about what anyone else thinks. You go because you have to, though part of you doesn’t want to, because it’s time to. You go because if you don’t go now, when will you?
