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 šŸ˜†

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 🄰

I’m missing lives a bunch lately, as we are in the process of moving to our new home this week and next, but yesterday’s live, wow. Phew.

Letting go is just the most perfect theme for October. The word that came to mind for me, during a tear filled meditation at the end of class, was hesitancy. Not the stop and think mindfully before an action kind.. but the feeling right before you release, the one that has the potential to jeopardize that release. I’m letting go of that.

Sending love to you all, as always! šŸ«¶šŸ»

So excited about Balance as September’s theme! It’s a principle I believe deeply in and try to recognize in life, so I’m stoked to match it with a specific m/body focus (even tho it’s already always woven through). AND it’s happening during a season of transition and change?! What could be better than the reminder of balance!! šŸ™ŒšŸ»

Thank you for this intention Marnie! So here for it!

Maybe I’m just putting my own stress on the community but I get the feeling we all need some warmth and light right now. Sending it to all you lovely warriors, connecting and wishing you all the white light of protection Marnie’s shared before, which felt so personal. Goodness I appreciated that .

And reminding us all (myself included for sure currently) to take deep breaths, acknowledge the anxieties, and let them pass. We can do hard things, even things we don’t fully grasp.

Be in the light today loves. šŸ’œ

Meant to post how I’m feeling in the comments yesterday but completely spaced, so here it is. Yesterday was a tough workout for me, felt very weak during the movements, especially during planks. It followed a week where I had a couple good workouts, but those workouts wore me out, and my running suffered. It’s a challenge not to feel like I should just be able to do all the physical things I want to do. And really, I feel this way with my work too, pushing, raising the bar, enjoying a success for the moment, but then not knowing where to go after, or if I’ll ever be successful again. The honest comment here is that I feel discouraged.. and I can recognize that this isn’t exactly logical, but emotional. So I’m curious ladies, how do you go about strengthening your logical side?
