If you are like me, December can be pretty overwhelming with all the commitments and catchups on top of regular life. I love it, but if I don't take the time to rest and recover, I burn out. So rather than go through that cycle again, I've decided to preemptively implement some self-care and I am inviting you to do the same (making it a challenge to keep us all accountable to one another... and more importantly ourselves)! HOW TO JOIN THE DECEMBER SELF-CARE CHALLANGE: Pick one small act of self-care you can do every day to stay grounded and regulated. Something that feels nourishing, simple, and doable. eg: - Music - Reading - Take a bath - Meditation - Nature walk - Exercise - Cup of tea - Journaling Or choose something you’ll cut back on this month to ease the pressure. When you’ve chosen your practice, comment below and let us know what you’re committing to and why! I will keep this post pinned until new year!

Nice to meet you all. I am Bianca, from NYC but have been somewhat Nomadic the past year. I recently left my “old” life behind for one that is more aligned with my souls desires. I went from NYC fashion corporate part girl to kundalini breath-work coach traveling the world, learning more about wellness, breath work, yoga and spirituality. When I am alone, I love to meditate in the morning, it doesnt matter where as long as I am warm. lol But I love meditating most with a community, whether online or in-person.

Halfway through the December self-care challenge, just want to check in and ask how everyone is going, if anyone needs support, what challenges you are facing, and what you can do to help yourself. Silence has been good. I feel a lot better in general. Although there are some cravings that I’m noticing. In related news, I would like to introduce my new dog Gracie, who, in her first day today exploring our yard, managed to get herself stuck behind the shed. She is in desperate need of some December self-care care 🤣 @Maria Phillips had to get in there and help her back up. They are fully bonded now, ha ha.
