WTF?

What the Fuck? is my new favorite practice.

I’ve still got nothing but love for my sweeter, gentler practices that focus on mindfulness, compassion, gratitude and love.

However lately I find myself relying more heavily on practices that release frustration, irritation, disbelief and of course, anger out of my nervous system and body.

Are you out of ideas for how to make yourself feel better?

Tantrums are a sure fire way to move stuck energy out of the body. Babies and children know how to do this until they are blocked by adults. Animals do this naturally as well - full body shaking after a frightening event.
Check this video here where I explain more fully and demonstrate.

Choose Love Challenge - Perform a Non-Random Act of Kindness (and brag about it to me)

Ok, deep breath. This whole lock-down thing is getting pretty old right about now. I’m over it. I want to just fucking walk into a coffee shop, smile at a barista and scarf down a chocolate chip cookie, without worrying about anything more than the cookie’s calorie count.

Is that too much to freakin’ ask?

Screams the frustrated and angry teenage part of me.

What do you NEED now to feel ok?

I feel like our world is changing like that right now - sudden, dramatic shifts are happening all around and more truths are coming into clear and stark relief.

With the shit hitting the fan the way it has been, people’s true natures are becoming more and more obvious.

Why are the woowoo calm AF?

I saw this quote by Allison Cotton a few days ago on Facebook:

When the world thinks woowoo is cray cray but in a pandemic the non woowoo go cray cray and the woowoo are calm AF

We’re about 3 weeks into this now in upstate NY and I find myself today in a new stage of response…

How Can You Celebrate Life in a Time of Fear

I do have a weird thing about me that I tend to like crazy times. I am not 100% sure why this is.

It could be a childhood imprint from my mom who always loved thunderstorms and would get so excited when we lost power in the house. It meant a break from the normal routine of rules and structure. It meant more spontaneity and playfulness.
