A little while ago, I came across this little tip. Instead of saying, “I don’t have time for…”, say, “I’m not prioritizing…”! Man – did that ever kick me in the butt. 
I began thinking about time ass an invitation to consider what matters, what do I want to invest in. How do I use the time I have.
And I love that.
I also love to think about the abundance of time – that there is no such thing as “too late to heal, to live my life, to try new things.”
We also need to think about our inner child’s relationship to time.
Let’s explore!

Do you struggle to take deep breaths?

Do you know the 3 poses that most support diaphragmatic breathing? Well, I'm here to share them with you! Breathing through the diaphragm helps us to activate the vagus nerve, which stimulates the relaxation response.
This type of breathing will help you come out of states of activation, but it's also a great practice to incorporate into your day to day to strengthen and nurture your nervous system.
Let me know which of the 3 poses you liked the most!!
