Impatience with my impatience.
A few days ago, I sat in my cardiologist’s waiting room, noticing my impatience—and my impatience with my impatience. Despite all my Restorative Yoga, and hiking, and Pilates, and Somatic Strength work, and organic food from the farmers market, and cold plunging, and sauna: I have high blood pressure.
This week, I’m sharing a guided Savasana about impatience and abundance—a bit of counter-programming as we move towards Black Friday. Savasana is a chance to pause, to soften, and to remember what’s already here.
Wishing my fellow Americans a happy Thanksgiving. I’ll be celebrating with Mama and our big family on the Ranch where my father grew up in South Texas.
Until next Sunday,
Lizzie
