Help you beat those winter blue! Please share it with someone you can lift this season.
Winter is not the easiest of seasons. While I love the holiday cheer and the beautiful white of newly fallen snow here in the Northwest, it’s also colder and darker and that can trigger seasonal depression for me. Can you relate?
This year with Covid restrictions on top of it, I have found the 3Ms of Music, Meditation, and Movement not to just be a good practice, but a lifeline.
🎶 MUSIC has the ability to raise the frequency at which your body vibrates. Music affects our body of a deep cellular level so picking music with high energy, that inspires and lifts us, has proven to help us reset our mood.
🏃♂️ MOVEMENT has the ability to help us move energy out and through our bodies. Emotion is energy in motion and needs outlet to move up, out, and through us. I listen to what my body craves, sometimes is a harder workout that really gets my energy up and sometimes its gentle like yoga and pilates to gently release and care for myself.
🧘♀️ MEDITATION, is like taking medication, meditate or medicate is the new buzz phrase. If you struggle to quiet your mind and experience the joy in a moment this is for you (understanding that for some medication will be needed companion to it) The key is being intentionally pausing from busy daily life, connecting to breathe, and allowing your mind and body to relax. I often combine this practice with prayer, yoga, setting intentions with my Source and it allows me to respond to life's challenges versus react.
This winter try the 3Ms for 30 days, they have been proven to change your view on the world and my hope is to allow you to feel the light and love of this winter season.
