My intention this month is to
explore, experience, exist.
Happy new month my beautiful lights!
The season of change + new beginnings is definitely here. Who else feels it? Today, I am saying thank you, I love you and goodbye to my NYC apartment of 3 years. Wow. What a journey it has been. So much new + good to celebrate right now.
I used the photo collage above intentionally. These photos were taken last October when I began teaching full-time. Fast forward to now, I am coaching my very own practice I dreamt up and can do that from anywhere my heart desires. Don't worry, the lemons are not going anywhere. If anything these last 12 months have taught me it's that taking the risk is all you need to show up for. I repeat taking the risk is the only thing you need to do. In other words, take the risk!!! The rest will unfold in every single way you dream it to and you do not need any further preparation. Seriously, not kidding. Every wish I put pen to paper last year has come true with the least amount of control on my end.
Yesterday, I sat down on my yoga mat in my empty 8x10 flex room and created the longest list of gratitude for my time living here. My time in New York has been one big miracle. There are so many people, places, memories (+ matchas!) to recognize, thank, and appreciate. I reread old journals and notes saved and scrolled through old photos and laughed at videos. It was truly a ceremony celebration ritual I never knew I needed.
Then I felt the urge to try something new. I set my celebrations and visions on fire. Yup, I literally burned some sage, took a match to my paper in a glass bowl and watched my intentions burn. Sounds woo woo? It totally is, but it felt really good, it's October and it seemed like the spooky in spirit thing to do. And of course, tonight's a full moon so I 10/10 recommend. Doing this created space and brought me such a shift. By releasing my gratitude back into the Universe, I am now ready to receive a new journey. This was the most beautiful gift exchange. I cannot even tell you how at peace I feel.
Goodnight, to my New York dreams. I am closing this chapter a way better version of myself with a whole lot more love and intention in my heart.
//Mantra of the Month//
I let love direct my life.
Now answering your top questions I am anticipating on getting this month:
1. What's your plan? Where are you moving? What's next? The best and most freeing part of this is, I don't really know! And to be honest, I feel so at ease and relieved not having it all figured out. I am choosing to let love direct the next chapter. Giving it over just feels so right.
2. How the hell do I get to the same place of peace? You are here because you want this feeling of calm for yourself too! And honey you deserve it. You are capable and you actually already have it within you. Your solution is here. I have my next group program starting October 26 and I am teaching you all my tools. At the end of this email, you will find a link for more details about Squeeze Stress Away.
There is a stream of love supporting your dreams.
So this is exactly why I am setting this intention this month. I am taking October to explore, experience and exist. To feel things out, try things on, see where I am led. For the first time in my 26 years, I feel completely unattached, surrendered and free. I am releasing the Type A/life planner/perfectionist part in me and trust I will be guided to the next best thing. I know I am going to receive better than what I expect. The only thing I will continue to do is show up + self-care + serve. Practice my practice and be here for YOU.
These are my tips for YOU this month to squeeze in self-care...
Rest, restore, repeat.
It's very likely I am not alone in feeling physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually exhausted by 2020. I have this note to self reminder on repeat to give myself permission to rest. You and your body have been in fight or flight mode for months now. That is beyond taking a toll. Your body is craving a slow down to repair itself whether you are aware of it or not. Take time to find your peace and spend time in your joy. Always question, is this serving me and my energy? If not, say no + nap.
Play + dream big.
When is the last time you colored, danced or sang? Connect back to something you loved to do as a child and squeeze it in! Fall is all about connecting to your roots, expressing your creativity and showing up authentically. Think root, sacral and solar plexus chakra balancing. Take yourself back to the big dreams you had as a child. You had all the faith in the world. Channel and lean into those dreams again. Let inspiration flow.
Try something new.
There is no better advice I have to getting unstuck. Cook a new recipe, hike a new trail, sign up for an online course. Inspired action sends a message out that you are ready to realign. Just follow what makes you happy!
I will keep sharing new tips every month so let me know what you need and want to see more of. If you need more guidance, I am here for YOU. Please do not hesitate to email me with any questions or reflections. I love to support and serve you.
