Repost from and that gave me all the feels. Too much strength without the right amount of support and softness will lead us to feel energetically drained. How can you balance your energy today?

Just some Monday motivation from my four legged child, Archie, to intentionally pause today and see the beauty around you. 🌻🌻 Every morning, rain or shine, Archie and I take a walk. I have to admit that some mornings (okay, let’s be real, most mornings!), I am running through my to-do list in my head instead of being present with Archie on our morning stroll. This morning, I felt extra rushed and flustered, as my to-do list felt unmanageable. In that moment, I noticed Archie freeze. My initial response was to hurry him along, but then I noticed the wild flowers growing around him. He was so intensely examining the flowers and would rotate his attention between the flowers and gazing up at the sun. By Archie pausing to explore nature, it allowed me to slow down and notice the gentle flow of the water and the bright yellow hue of the wildflowers. My to-do list still remained and was waiting for me back at my desk, but for that moment, I felt peace. As we start this new week, I encourage you to stop and pause for a few moments throughout each day for a mindful moment. Just for a moment, practice being versus doing. It’s in the being that peace can be found. 🌻🌻

Play is the natural language of children. Children communicate feelings, thoughts, fears, and beliefs through play. Want to learn more about your child's inner mind? Play with them. Want to build your relationship with your child? Play with them. Your child (and inner child!) will thank you.

Have you ever noticed in triggering or stressful situations your body has a tendency to react, sometimes even before you can identify how you’re feeling or process what’s going on? Maybe you experience butterflies in your stomach or a literal pain in your neck in response to someone in your life BEING a pain in the neck! What we often forget is that our brains and bodies communicate and interact with our environment. When triggered, our central nervous system revs up and our bodies react. This is what happens during "fight, flight, and freeze." The next time you notice your body reacting, allow yourself to breathe into the space where you are noticing the physical sensation. Simply breathe and observe, imagining your breath filling and cleansing the area of your body you are focusing on. You may want to pair this practice with a mantra or affirmation like “I am safe now” or whatever resonates for you with the particular trigger.
