a little something for your weekend. 🤍
wherever you land this weekend — solo on the couch finally exhaling, surrounded by your people, out on an adventure, or somewhere in between — I want to give you permission, and invite you to give YOURSELF permission to actually be there. not planning the next thing. not mentally reviewing the last thing. not performing enjoyment while your mind is already three steps ahead.(or 4 or 5😂) be there. fully. in the actual moment you worked all week to get to. I'll be honest — this is one of my worst habits. I get so excited about the thing, I show up to the thing, and before I've even set my bag down my brain is already somewhere else entirely. so I created something for myself that I now use everywhere. I call them my arrival breaths. nothing complicated. nothing you need a mat or a quiet room for. just this — wherever you are, whenever you want to actually land in a moment — 3 deep intentional breaths. in through your nose. out through your mouth. as slow and as deep as you can go. while you quietly repeat to yourself — I am here to experience this moment now. that's it. that's the whole thing. I use it before somatic sessions(if you've attended live sessions you know we do this!). in my salon chair before a client sits down. at family gatherings when I feel my mind starting to drift. on date nights with Rudy when I want to actually be there and not just physically present. over morning coffee with my daughter when I want to remember that this — right here — is the good stuff. it works because it's not asking you to be calm or zen or have it all together. it's just asking your nervous system to land. to arrive. to register that the moment you're in is the one worth being in. try it this weekend. pick one moment — just one — and give it your arrival breaths before it passes. and then come back here and tell me what shifted. 👇 drop a comment and let me know if you use it — I genuinely want to know which moment you chose. 🤍
