Hey Reader,
I feel like I blinked and May came and went.
And if it’s going as fast for you as it is for me, it feels like the perfect time to slow down.
I know I’m being asked to do that.
The Universe sometimes forces a slow down when things become a bit too much.
For me, it started with a weekend trip to Spain with some friends, meeting some new people and going on dates, screaming at the top of my lungs during the Bad Bunny concert, and before I knew it… I found myself sick and at the doctor’s office.
Now does this bum me out?
A little.
But, what I’m noticing more than ever, is how I’m not making myself wrong for the extra fun that pushed me over the edge.
Years ago I would have punished myself for my behavior. Making myself wrong for losing focus or beating myself up for getting behind on work.
But now, life looks a little different...
Instead of sitting with my sickness… waiting to see if i would improve on my own, I went to the doctor right away. Getting proper medical care with urgency feels like a radical act of self-care... and I'm finally someone who does that.
Instead of shaming myself for not being as productive as I would have liked, I made the decision to recommit to my rhythms slowly and steadily. With ease. And no guilt.
And the best part about all of this?
I used ALL tools on myself this week that I now teach inside my community... and I've noticed a real shift in who I am, and how I show up in the world.
And I now get to reap the rewards of showing up differently, for myself first, and then for the people I serve.
It’s truly the best feeling ever.
Like… life is worth celebrating even when my body isn’t feeling great kinda feeling.
And that’s pretty friggin’ cool.
This process required a lot of release.
So if things have felt like too much lately, I’d like to invite you to release with me.
I’m hosting my monthly online sound bath experience Sacral Sundays this coming Sunday at 7PM Lisbon | 2PM New York and I would absolutely love to see you there.
