Journal Prompts

It can be hard to find the time to journal, but even a few minutes a day may be beneficial. Why? Because journaling will allow you to "release" any thoughts that you are carrying with you. Anger, sadness, regret -- your private journal is a safe place to release them all. Plus... journaling can be a good place to focus on yourself, and on the positive.

The peace inside us is always there. 🤍

It cannot be stolen or changed. It cannot be hurt or damaged. The peace inside of us is afraid of no one and nothing. The peace inside of us has always been and always will be.

We need only to breathe and to trust.

This weekend, I invite you to feel the peace inside of you by simply being.

Live slowly, rest, and trust. Encourage the peace within you to shine. 🤍

But Then the Bird Sang 🤍

It was a dark day for sure.
A turning point. Do we go forward?
Can we?
What do we do when we begin to question everything and everyone?
What happens when we doubt our worth and our beliefs
and we carry this darkness in us
‘til it begins to smother our light inside…?

But we knew this wasn’t right
our bones told us so.
So we stepped outside
and we felt the warm sun
and we saw the tall trees sway but not break
and we wondered how?
How?
But then the bird sang
and we knew that we were still okay.

I wish you peace. 🤍

What do I do next? 🤍

This is something I’ve been asked many times, and I’ve asked myself this, too.

The answer I’ve come up with?
You don’t have to do anything right now.

You need only to breathe and to be. 🤍

It’s okay to not be ready to process.

It’s okay to feel lost and ungrounded.

It’s okay to feel what you’re feeling. Whatever it is.

Today we breathe. 🤍

It’s okay to not be okay
to not be ready to look for the bright side
or to say “everything happens for a reason.”

It’s okay to see only the gray in the clouds and not the silver lining.

It’s okay to not feel like functioning
or being “you.”
It’s okay to cry
It’s okay to scream
It’s okay to argue with loved ones.

It’s okay to wonder why.

It’s okay to take a mental health day or several days.
It’s okay to coddle your energy in any way you need.

It’s okay to feel bad and angry
It’s okay to rage
It’s okay to be silent
It’s okay to feel numb

Whatever it is…
It’s okay to not be okay

Take a moment.

Take a breath.

Find your peace. 🤍

As we collectively prepare for tomorrow, Election Day, this is a simple reminder to allow yourself to rest.

Rest allows the nervous system to regulate and for us to feel calm, present, and peaceful.

In preparation for tomorrow, maybe today we consider a relaxing yoga class, a meditation, a nap, or a simple technology-free meal with friends. 🤍

I am a long-time yoga studio manager and this is something I hear at least once a week:

“I escaped corporate and cross fit to come here.”

And it’s almost always said in an apologetic tone. As if we need to apologize for not working ourselves to exhaustion. As if we need to apologize for not finding yoga sooner.

Your worth is not based on your productivity. And what’s more? You will be more productive when you’re not exhausted.

You are worthy just by being you. 🤍

And yoga finds you when the time is right for you.

Never apologize for being a “beginner yogi.” There’s no such thing. We’re all here to practice yoga together— with no judgement—and we’re all the same whether we’ve practiced yoga for 30 years or never before.

We are all one. 🤍🙏

Fall is my favorite season. 🍂🫶 But… sometimes in the fall, I can feel, well, scattered.

I’m told fall is “Vata season” (in Ayurveda) and as my Vata increases, I can feel the need for more grounding.

Grounding practices, like meditation, earthing, and slow-moving yoga can all help with this.

Another tip… I feel more grounded by reading one book at a time rather than having several different half-read books waiting on my nightstand. 😉

For lots more information on doshas and Ayurveda in general, I encourage you to follow my dear friend, @meganhivelywellness!! 🫶

As a Board Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner and “Sharer of Empowered Wellness Wisdom,” Megan is a wealth of knowledge regarding all things health and Ayurveda. 🌱

Happy Fall! 🍂

After spending a Saturday with many inspiring caregivers and having the honor of helping them care for themselves, I really don’t think the goal should be to be “self-less.” 🤍

I have seen the importance of holding onto ourselves no matter what life throws at us - in fact, it’s the only way to we can truly be there for one another.

So maybe it’s not about being self-less.

Maybe it’s about being your true, whole, and complete self. And as this true, whole, and complete self, you are even more powerful in the ways you can help others. 🤍

Stormy days are for creativity. ⛈️

Why? Because storms bring new energy, stir up emotions, and offer new beginnings.

This week, I’ve had the pleasure of coaching someone through her first steps of becoming the writer she is meant to be - and helping two others on their journeys as writers as well.

This made me think it’s time for another writers’ workshop!

So! What are you looking for in your next (or first!) writers’ workshop?

Community? Time to write? Exercises to get the creativity flowing? Help with the process?

I’d love to know! Comment below or DM.

And if you’re looking for individualized writing help, I am here for you. 🤍

Sometimes we all need a reminder that we don’t have to do more.

That being who we are is enough.

That we are exactly where we are supposed to be, at exactly the right time, doing exactly what we are supposed to be doing.

In the words of the incredible Audre Lorde, “I am who I am, doing what I came here to do.”

Trust yourself & the process. 🤍

Welcome September 🍂

September is a powerful month for new beginnings. 🤍

Ask yourself:
“What does a new beginning mean to me?”

“What would a new beginning look like to me?”

Wait for the answer. 🙏

Sometimes new beginnings require letting go of something that no longer serves you. Maybe it’s time to release someone or something. Maybe it’s time for a major change - like a change of job, or chasing your dream - or maybe it’s time for a small change like reading more, or going to bed earlier.

Whatever it is for you, welcome your new beginning. 🤍

Sometimes new beginnings require letting go of something that no longer serves you. Maybe it’s time to release someone or something. Maybe it’s time for a major change - like a change of job, or chasing your dream - or maybe it’s time for a small change like reading more, or going to bed earlier.

Whatever it is for you, welcome your new beginning. 🤍

Graffiti the World With Love… 🤍

Don’t be afraid to love. So often we’re closed off to love because of the hurt it can bring. After all, if we’ve never loved, we can’t hurt, right?

In fact, this couldn’t be more wrong. The act of not loving and closing yourself off to love causes the worst kind of pain—the pain of emptiness.

So go forward bravely and without question.
Love completely and wholly.
Open your heart until it cracks wide letting in as much beauty as it lets out.
Throw love against hate.

Joy 🤍
Looking back at this picture taken so many years ago, I see pure joy.

I’m with my girls (one is in 10th grade this year and the other a senior!), with likeminded yogis from @ishineyoga, and the picture was taken by my dear friend @genevieve_boulanger

It can be easy to feel joy at these times.

But I think what we also need to remember is to be a source of joy for ourselves as well.

We get so caught in helping others and running so many aspects of our lives we sometimes forget what it means to experience joy.

But joy is so important. Joy can help us in all aspects of our lives, in our relationships, and can help fight off stress and burnout. Joy is crucial for wellness.

So today, I encourage you to do that thing your heart is calling for - that thing that brings you joy.

Even just one tiny thing, once a day.

Not sure what would bring you joy? Ask yourself. Experience something new. Break your routine.

Prioritize joy. 🤍

Release and let go
release and be free
release, and find peace. 🤍

Sometimes we are so afraid to let go.
We are afraid that letting go means losing something and maybe it does—
But the truth is, it is only at those times of release that we can truly find ourselves. 🤍

“Our prime purpose in life is to help others.” - Dalai Lama

Not only is it our prime purpose, it’s also the single thing that can make us feel better and create lasting happiness for ourselves. 🙏

This is why when we search for our dharma, or life’s purpose, we look to use our unique talents in the service of others. 🪷

The next time you feel down or without purpose, consider helping someone else and watch how your mood shifts.
A win-win.🤍

Teachers, Healers, and Givers of all kinds…

When was the last time you prioritized your own healing? For most of us, we can’t remember when that was.

I’m usually included in that statement, but on Sunday night, I was treated to a wonderful, relaxing soul-searching experience by @guidedsurrender at @themeditationroomlkn.

It was just the right amount of guidance and reflection. A perfect way to heal and rebuild energy. 🙏🪷
Thank you, Frannie!

Have you made you a priority lately? What are you doing to rebuild your energy? ❤️

Dharma Check! 🪷

One of the ways to discover if you’re living in your dharma (life’s purpose) is to ask yourself, would I be doing my current job if I wasn’t concerned about money? Would I still be in my current situation?

When money is our sole motivation, we can lose sight of our life’s purpose.

So the easy dharma check for today is simply to ask yourself: would I remain in my current job if money wasn’t a factor?

Comment below by dropping a ❤️ for YES - and a 🖤 for NO!

Namaste! 🪷
