It is so reassuring to read everyone’s messages and hear a similar thread. It helps to know we are not alone in this journey. I have been working to let go of worry. The pandemic created some bad habits for me mentally and hanging onto worry and toxic thoughts. So I am working hard to master my own mind and “stay in the light” sending love to you all who struggle with this too.
The belief that anxiety is shameful, bad, or an indication of my abilities. Anxiety is a reaction within me and my body’s attempt to warn and regulate. I can feel, I can listen, and I can validate; I can soothe and let go.
To quote our wonderful Marnie; “anxiety is just a lack of information”.
I am in the process of letting go of my expectations of myself to do more, to do all the things. For me the pressure is less from outside and more from my own internal messages. I am settling in to being okay with working part time instead of full time, with having a body that needs to be honored more than pushed to do all. I am letting go of the busy and choosing a slower pace that allows for calm and mindful living.
Today I’m releasing the need to please others; to be what others expect or want me to be when it does not align with who I am or what I need. Sometimes this is based on the desire to please others or impress them, and other times it is based on others expecting me to be whatever version of myself from the past which no longer matches who I am today or the direction I’m heading. My sense of self is not determined by the perspective, framework, or acceptance of others.
Hey fam!!
For today's wellness task, I let go of the idea of "should have" or "have to."
This idea comes from a place of judgement which stems from fear. It ultimately leads to a downward spiral of shame, guilt, confusion, & doubt.
Then I don't get to apprecaite and enjoy where I'm at in the now because the mind searches the solve the "problem" of should've, could've, and have to... And it all began with an idea.
So no more. Love is acceptance, joyfulness, peace, and so many other postive emotions wrapped into one. So today & everyday, I let got of ideas and concepts that lead to fear. I choose to embrace love.
Love you all! And I accept and embrace the beauty within our community. See you wonderful humans at the LIVE today!
Almost all done. I miss 3 workouts, the XXX class, the M<45/77 and another 60 min signature. But the tulips até my sister garden are out. That makes me happy!
My M/Body Movement Ball bundle arrived today and I couldn’t be more excited! The hand written note from Marnie made my day! I have been doing M/Body for over a year now using one of my kiddos playground balls, but finally decided to splurge on myself and am so glad I did! Grateful for Marnie and this awesome global family! If you’re on the fence about the ball….just do it! Such good quality and much firmer than the one I’d been using. And the mini is sooo cute!
Just a little shout out to all the challengers & to the start our second board…it’s gonnna be a good one! Today is all about healing & hydration and tomorrow we SWEAT. Can’t wait to see you at the LIVE ❤️
I’ve done the M/Body challenges in the past but never felt confident to post my board! So, here’s my first board complete!! Thanks fam for all the positive energy, I love reading everyone’s comments on the videos as I go! My hips feel soooo yummy after today’s hip and seat class! Sending love and good vibes to you all! ❤️🥰
