Episode 4 of EMBODY: a series of short thoughts, tales, conversations + audio-workshops to help you build the life you crave. Completely raw and uncut.

Today's thoughts: We place too much importance on our emotions. Bad moods are OK if we allow ourselves to sit in them - what happens when we start to use emotions as information? We're able to jump from emotion to emotion without judgement and to notice patterns that cause certain emotions to arise.

What prompted this: Sitting on the Charles river trying to work through a shitty mood.

Workshop it: Next time you're in a bad mood...go to a place where you can be in your head, take 3 deep breaths. Those breaths allow you to look objectively at the emotions. Then, you can reflect on what's caused the bad mood.

Bad moooods are ok! <3

Episode3 of EMBODY: a series of short thoughts, tales, conversations + audio-workshops to help you build the life you crave. Completely raw and uncut.

Today's thoughts: It's so important to be protective of your energy and who you give it to -- especially when it comes to hooking up. It's crucial to listen to your gut in these situations...if you're not feeling it, LEAVE!

What prompted this: (PG version) I went back to a guy's apartment when I wasn't fully into it. (PG-13 version) We were making out on his bed and all I could think about was how I was not into it and how my energy and attention were not there at all. Sooo I peaced tf out.

Workshop it: Next time you're hooking up with someone, pause. Pull out a notepad and write down how you're feeling. Jk. But for real, if there's a slight inkling of your body that is pushing you away that is your cue to bounce.

Opinions on this? Holla @ me.

*Sound quality on this isn't great - I know! Talking while driving apparently not the best way to record :)
