This month we're working on boundaries and on the live session this week, we talked about personal vs. professional boundaries. I realized something: we're often better at setting one but not the other. My challenge for you is to do reflect on where your boundaries are strong and where they might need a little bit of work. Maybe they need work all around! That's okay too. In your practices this month, try to think about where your boundaries are strongest and use that momentum to strengthen the weaker areas! Tell me, where could you use more boundaries?

Reminder to take a moment when you can and remember you ARE nature. You got this. 🏔️🌈

My gratitude session for this month fell off the calendar! But I will be there. And I hope you will join me. I've added my recurring session to the calendar and the link is posted under the event. See you tonight at 5 pm EST!

Hey party people, We had a crew for last weeks live, and one of the same things came up today in our virtual session that I wanted to share here. It's a favorite nervous system reminder : an emotion doesn't need to be "fixed", it needs to be felt. Here's where it gets interesting - Neuroanatomist Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor describes the initial physiological wave of an emotion as roughly 90 seconds when we allow ourselves to experience it without re-triggering the story or avoiding/pushing it back down. 90 Seconds...what?!? 🤯 The first thing I thought upon learning this was how many seconds, days, years, decades have I actually spent avoiding my feelings?! And if we learn to stay with them, they actually move out on their own and we can change our story? just, wow. So, there we have it. It's hard to sit with a heated emotion , so when I find myself there, I take a breath. Maybe I'll start with 5 seconds. Meet yourself where you're at and build slowly. It's really wild. Want to nerd out on the 90 second idea? Dr. Jill breaks it down here in this 3 min video. https://youtu.be/-qwIjbtUmaE?si=i9U_Bd8DMMHP6G2U

If you're new to this stuff or want a refresher, this 30 minute course is a great place to start. I created it specifically for beginners to get a sense of what and why this work is important. You'll find it under Somatic Foundations in the classroom. Check it all out if you've got time, or peruse through as you see fit. I love feedback and if anything resonates, let me know!
