Luxury of Self Care

The final episode before the new year and the relaunch of the cover art on January 2nd!

Wishing you all the best this holiday season! Sharing ways to avoid holiday depression, dealing with S.A.D. (seasonal affective disorder), discussing with Douglas about growing our family, and our trip to Minneapolis and the Upper Penninsula of Michigan for Thanksgiving.

Reflection is the theme of the meditation at the end of the episode. How fitting for all of us to reflect before the new year, and before the new launch? Appreciating ourselves through self-love, self-reflection, and self-acceptance!

Time for my own personal, self-care during this time of year. Including lots of mid-day walks with the dog, self-reflection through journaling, socializing at holiday events, and long baths while shamelessly watching Christmas films on my iPad!

Happy Holidays!! I'll see you all next year!

Happy Thanksgiving week! I'm off to the Mid-West! As my packing saga unfolded again before another trip, my husband for the first time willingly came to my rescue.

As it is a week to be grateful, I truly couldn't be more grateful for the way he handled all things Stazie. With all the Christmas decorating, chores, activities, and packing we had to do this weekend, my husband really knew exactly how to assist, show up, and guide me in the right direction. I couldn't believe we accomplished everything including this EP, and all before 9 pm the day before our flight.

...And I'm so grateful to each and every one of you! Let me know what you're grateful for this week.

Routine is soooo imperative for our overall health and wellness. It keeps us sharp, healthy and on target with our goals. Instead of making the excuse, "I don't have time". Let's lean into, "I choose to make the time".

Embracing Fall but also feeling a tad unmotivated lately. Focusing on the "root" of many different things from my personality to my stimulation.

Who we are today, is dictated by our roots. The things that we say, how we react, the way we see the world, and our beliefs and values are all shaped by those before us and our childhoods. However, things don't have to stay that way. As we start to awaken to the conscious journey, we may start to understand in what way our roots have been serving us or not serving us.

Stay tuned until the end of the episode for a roots-themed meditation.

The new season is almost here. With that slowing down we continue to reflect. With self-care, fitness and meditation we think we are going to find "control" in our lives. As we continue in our practice we realize how far from true that is. Simultaneously, our breath, deep-breathing, focusing on our breath is something we can "control". Forcing our nervous system and organs to slow down.

There is a meditation at the end of this episode all about your breath.

Today we revisit the word, "no". It's not always an easy one to say. Throughout the episode I encourage us to just say no, without an explanation to follow. We immediately feel guilting after saying, "no" and come up with an excuse of why we said it. I want to encourage us to say it and let it linger with all it's glory.

Like all things, through consistency anything can become easier. I take us through steps to help guide us into practicing this word as a complete sentence. Say, "no" to others, so you can say "yes" to you!
