As we transition to a new year, this nugget from a yoga class in April (!!!) feels particularly apropos. I get really caught up in the next life pose—the next step, achievement, or thing to do. But I’m working on showing myself loving kindness in transitions, as they’re as much a part of the practice…
“Appreciate yourself. Is there something you’ve been wanting appreciation for? Thinking you deserve? Don’t wait for someone else to acknowledge you, acknowledge yourself for what you know you’ve done.” Caitlin, today at BFree, during savasana Wow, ok.
Aside from therapy wisdom, I’ve also been pulling out lots of good nuggets from yoga recently. Like this one: The gift of impermanence is that things don’t stay the same. Change can be hard; it’s easy to mourn what was. But those shifts are where we eliminate stagnation, and grow. Impermanence is a gift.
Peep page 278! Just livin’ that faux celeb life… … including in the Tito’s Tent at ACL on Sunday! Low-key bestie came to town for the festy weekend and we had an absolute blast. Adult kiddie pools, nerf wars, talking with ya fraaaands, Tyler Perry’s, and all sorts of other “normal” weekend shenanigans left me…
I did some stuff. Look at these house projects! First, I hung my stick on the wall like art. My brother came in and was like “Nice driftwood art!” I said, “That’s trash from your trash tree that fell on my house!” Which it is. But it’s also badass and looks badass on the wall,…
Yoga is important to me from a physical and mental standpoint, but I admit I haven’t much gotten into the chakra part of yoga. I know the 7 chakras and I love when teachers bring them into class, but my own study has been minimal. So when Plant Therapy reached out and asked if I…
Ah, the month of noobs curling in squat racks and #Whole30s ruining happy hours everywhere … kidding, I’m all for anyone getting their resolution on for however long they can—something is better than nothing and all that. I don’t do resolutions other than declaring my year’s intention, but I did sign up for a few…
I’m doing BFree Yoga‘s Happy Body Happy Mind 21 Day Challenge, and it’s pretty lax—do some yoga, meditate, feel good, boom. But I wanted to do all 21 days of yoga in a row as part of it. Well, per yogic tradition, the universe has other plans. Great plans! Fun plans! But not yoga-every-day plans. So…
… if my faux celeb cred wasn’t legit before, now it is!! I also wrote this article on Brett Young. File this under “thank god I more or less stay in the same shape year round” because otherwise this four-days-notice photo shoot would have caused some serious anxiety. I’ve obviously had a lot of written…
VB, FB, bike rides, yoga, Chalk, catch-ups, boy bonding with Nali pup—it was a great week of activities. Now I’m headed to the river! The river! Grateful for fun already had and fun anticipated … Also. I was feeling insecure about any number things—because I’m a girl, mostly—last night, so much so that I literally…
