Remember restaurants? I'm still not there yet. Not really. Not in the carefree going out on a date and lingering while I had the eggplant parm, that salad that I love with artichoke hearts that I push to the side, the gluten-free fettuccini, the flourless chocolate cake, and a little decaf coffee...the loungy, life is grand sort of dinner. That feeling though...that full of life (not pasta) feeling is available right now, right there on your mat. Imagine you're taking yourself out on a date. Getting to know yourself, what you're thinking, what you love, and even what you might be struggling with. Your body is a doorway into your innermost feelings and your big beautiful heart.

If laying on the mat is taking too long and your brain is telling you all of the things you should be doing instead...sit with that and watch what happens. Remember the days of loungy dinners and relish in the get to know you phase as you woo your body with myofascial release. Maybe even add...

New Year's Eve and I am lounging in pj's and sipping my coffee and thinking that this upcoming year is gonna be...hmmm. My brain comes up with so many things. This year is gonna be full of healing... where I feel full of light and love. This upcoming year is gonna be full spaces where I sit by the fire or on my mat and I just let the thoughts swirl until they are all swirled out and the quiet brings an alert softness that calls in trust, connection, and peace. AND I'm gonna bask in some joy! 

No Pressure 2022, but I've got a few things on my dance card, and at the top of the list is self-care. Bring on the self-care! 

What's it like to walk around on the planet and feel taken care of? What if your body felt heard, and those little inklings of maybe's weren't put off for later? Another day, another week, another year. Baby, this is your year!

You get to create and design and explore...and sometimes you might not know what you want or need but no...
