First, I want to honor the life of John Lewis. The ceremony in Atlanta is about to start @ 2pm EST today + I plan on tuning in! ;) I wrote a post here.
It's important to stay aware + tune into inspiring, positive news that celebrates the good, like today.
And of course, to stay informed on what's not so good, so we can be the change. As Michael Beckwith says, every news headline is really a Prayer Request.
And also, if you spend all day reading the paper, scrolling social media, and watching the news, you are doing the wrong thing.
You must create your own bubble of self-care if you want to survive: mentally, spiritually, emotionally, physically.
Self-care includes community care, of course. It includes praying with your feet....
For me, that has looked like: having a Morning Ritual (for more ideas, click here). Going into nature daily. Moving my body daily. I now do Breathwork twice a week. (I've never done ayahuasca but it seems to be doing something similar: deep emotional release of trauma and wounds.) I sing once a week with Elah and AuSierra. I'm taking a bomb Marketing class with Kareem Manuel of We.Society.
I'm basically doing EVERYTHINGG including the Amethyst Biomat which is my new BFF. #singlelife #singlequarantinelife The Amethyst Biomat
The Amethyst Biomat is like a hug, it's infrared, negative ions, an entire bed, literally, of amethyst crystals, with copper and other cosmic materials. It's brings the body into the parasympathetic nervous system, it heals aches and pains. It cleanses all my chakras and sweeps away the social media scrolling of the day.
Seriously.
I am continuing to structure my days. Pour energy into my priorities. Connect with friends, even if it's over Zoom. Lots + lots of co-working. Getting into nature. Amethyst Biomat. Dance. Movement. Hiking. Repeat.
And my usual Green Smoothies. I am one of those rare people who has actually lost weight during this time. I am toned and in amazing shape. I've been doing my garlic, my lemons, my fruit.
And watermelons... So much FRUIT! Georgia Peaches! It's that time! ;)
What are you doing to CARE for yourself?
I'm telling you, Self-Care is Essential Work right now.
It is a MUST.
If you don't create your day, your vibe, your life, someone else is about to create that s*&^ FOR you.
What will you choose?
Check out my latest Facebook Live here, with more Self-Care inspiration. (I actually go over my entire daily routine here, including what I do naked in the morning. ;))
Sending You Lots of LOVE,
