Find Your Calm

Spring is upon us shortly and now is the perfect time to reconnect with nature.

This week's episode talks about the benefits of going outdoors and a practice you can implement for the next 7 days.

Go and connect outdoors to boost your energy, support your immunity and restore your focus every day.

I hope you can find some calm this week.

How are you sitting?  How are you standing?

Have you ever noticed your posture? How you go about your day in your body?

Sometimes it's the smallest things that can impact your results.

Today, I invite you to notice your posture. Are you able to roll your shoulders up, back, down and around. Can you loosen your jaw or release the tension in your belly?

Sometimes the smallest adjustment in your posture can change how you feel; your energy levels, and how others interact with you in the world. 

Have a listen and let me know! 

Did you notice anything shift this week?

Be well,

Sometimes your kids are expressing themselves in ways that challenge our own selves.

Today, I am going to talk about one way that I practice finding calm when my 2 or 5 year old is expressing themselves aka having a tantrum (or a Trantrum - get it?! LOL)

I'm not a fan of the word tantrum. I prefer to see it as challenging emotions, or not being able to fully express the emotion of what is happening in the moment. This releases the negative association with tantrum and brings about a more compassionate approach. 

When you begin to notice your child is starting to cry, or going into the pancake floor flop, this practice will ask you to stop what you are doing, shut the hell up (cause no one wants to get into the anger zone) and sit on the floor or chair and breathe.

It's about not letting your reactionary emotions take over.  It's about cultivating and tuning into your deepest self and create that space and sense of calm.

While your kids are expressing themselves, you will practice 'calm' through breath.

Try it for 5 minutes.

For the next 7 days, this is my practice for you.

What did you learn?

Do you practice gratitude?

Explore what a gratitude practice is, how it can impact your well-being and start today!

Can you write or text yourself 3 things you are grateful for?

During this winter blistery day, I invite you to find your calm through a simple 5 minute meditation. During this recording, there will be an opportunity for you to connect inwards, close down your eyes and simply allow your breath to rise and fall. A bell will signify the start and end of the meditation. 

If during the 5 minutes, you notice your thoughts wander, gently come back to your inhale and exhale breath. Loosen the tension in your jaw, neck and shoulders; release your belly.

You can come back to this recording at any time to practice your 5 minutes of calm.

Be well,
