Two years ago when my sweet girl Ginger passed, you all were so kind, and it meant the world to me. The last month or so, after adjusting to our move, and getting used to having acerage, we decided it was time to have dogs again. Excited to announce these 3 month old brothers, new members of our fam, and the global fur fam- Sal and Finn! Austrian Cattle Dogs, and such a good fit for our family ❤️🐕❤️

Done! My goal was 30/60, and I ended up doing 48/60.. I really tried to stay true to the theme of staying true to myself and what I needed. So much so, that this morning I found myself stressing about how I was going to get the workout done today, because m<60s have been a challenge to fit in. I was so stressed that I couldn’t enjoy or be present with some holiday activities. And so, in keeping with what the goal is, I decided that today, the last day of the challenge, will be a rest day. It feels huge to be able to allow this, because I struggle so much with all or nothing. But I’m so grateful for this practice of listening, just like so many of you have said, and being able to put action behind the listening, even if that action is purposefully resting. WAHOO CHALLENGERS!!! Love you all!

Playing catch up again with these activities… this last challenge board has proved more difficult to get in during this busy season than I thought it would be, but I’m clinging to my most favorite recent mantra from M/BODY, which is simply, You can. And it doesn’t mean that you should but that you can find what works, you can thrive, you can decide what helps you right now, and you can let go of the rest. Love to all of you sweet people 🥰

Did today’s towel workout with socks and felt so much more connected! Plus, my yoga giraffes helped remind me to keep my neck long🦒😆 highly recommend socks for today, friends!

In honor of today’s live, and Marnie talking about sharing a fear you’ve worked through—I’m still working through my fear of flying, and unfortunately (for a family emergency) I have to fly again this week. I’ll be remembering what so many of you shared with me.

So, I just wanted to encourage all of you, that this fear thing is a journey, with highs, lows, and everything in between. Remember your breath, your logic, your knowledge, when dealing with feelings that might paralyze you. And please remember your global Fam, and how they will lift you up when you are struggling. This is an incredible resource with real, and loving people on the other side of these comments 🥰 be well 🥰

Hi all— tomorrow I get on a plane, the first one in 3 years. About 5 years ago I developed an extreme fear of flying, after an emergency trip for a funeral. I’m doing breath work, acknowledging my fear, collecting what strategies I can.. but honestly I’m afraid. I haven’t always been afraid of flying, I used to think it was amazing, and could even sleep on a flight. I don’t have to return to that level of comfort, but any prayers, vibes, love, you send I’ll think of as I fidget with my •in the light• bracelet on the plane will be much appreciated. I hate being afraid, hate admitting to that fear, and I just want to be able to enjoy the miracle that is flying. Anyway, thank you all, and sending my love as we all find the sun for 15min today.

Doing tomorrow’s posture workout today, instead of the m<45, practicing one of my super goals: GRACE for myself during this challenge. I know so many of you have the same type of goal- solidarity!

Thank you all as always for all the support. I feel like I haven’t gotten back and reciprocated that support as well as I should, and I want to acknowledge that and work to be better!

Hi!! I’m Amanda from Bellingham WA, this is my 6th or 7th challenge..been here since the first global fam challenge and can never remember what number we’re on 😆

My goal is at least 30, and hopefully 45 workouts through out the challenge, since the end of October is a wild time for me. I’m so grateful to be able to allow myself less, with minimal guilt, which I completely thank the M/BODY mindset for. Haven’t done todays workout yet, but I can’t wait to hit that 1st day of challenge energy.

Also, love seeing ALL of your smiling faces— let’s do this friends 🥰
