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.

LOVE > FEAR ( and How to Stay Sane in a CoronaCrazy World)

What do you need now, right in this moment to feel safe and loved?

Can you find that centered, courageous part of yourself?

I have been on a roller coaster of emotions myself - working through all sorts of emotional and mental swampiness.

F’*K the SHOULDS

… but only very recently have I discovered, to my horror, that the seemingly enlightened, feminist “wu wu” culture that I now spend a good amount of time in - has its own devious set of “shoulds” - especially in the area of love and relationships!
