Do you dread Mondays? Start the week feeling behind? Struggle with forcing yourself back into the grind? Me too.
How can we re-wire this anxious programing? It's counterintuitive, but taking time to pause (meditate, breathe, rest, touch the earth) actually brings clarity and produces forward momentum.
I'm considering creating a weekly Instagram series to share one simple idea to help us de-accelerate:
Momentum Mondays: Stop before you start.
Just because it's Monday, doesn't mean you need to grind. Good idea? Do you need this series? Comment below!
And today, I’m sharing what the lovable Mary Richards calls “Alternative Body Breathing.” It’s a short practice to first feel, and then balance, the left and right sides of your body. May it be of service.
Lastly: I’m delighted to welcome a special guest for this month’s live Savasana Session: Judith Hanson Lasater, also known as Mama. These sessions are free for subscribers to this newsletter, so thank you for being here. If you can’t join live, no worries, stay tuned for the recording on the following Sunday.
Save the date: Tuesday, May 17th at 10:30 am Salzburg time. Sorry, my American friends, I know it’s early for you. Here’s the link to register for free and join us live on Zoom.
Wishing you a spacious Sunday.
Talk soon,
Lizzie
