Sometimes it’s a good idea, for our own personal development and growth, to ask ourselves this question. Are we living day-to-day, going through the motions, just alive but not actually LIVING?

It’s easy to fall into routine, sticking with what’s familiar, and just doing what we do every day all the time.
But does it feel good?
Does life feel fulfilling and passionate?
Or does it feel like “just another day”?

We always have a choice to change things up, even if it has to be in small ways for the time being. By default, we will choose an uncomfortable comfort-zone over a prospectively uncomfortable, unfamiliar experience. Even if that comfort-zone is pretty s**tty.

Change is inevitable.
We can also create it if we’re not truly living a life that suits us.

What’s one thing you could do this week to change something about your experience? It could be as simple as moving furniture around, deep cleaning something, taking different routes to usual places…

Or it could be a whole-life reset…
What change could help to make you feel more alive?

I love this quote.
It’s October (ALREADY??!!) and the leaves are changing, the weather is shifting, and the air has the distinct quality of Autumn.

This time of year is a great reminder that, just as trees drop their leaves for renewal in the Spring, we also need to be able to let the dead things go in order to make space for new growth. When we’ve cultivated a mindfulness practice, it’s easier to sense when that time has arrived. We can feel it in our blood and things get uncomfortable. We are hyper aware of the unsatisfied feeling of “this isn’t working for me anymore”.

As a baby Gen X-er, I was raised with the belief that you stick it out. You stay. You keep going and you make it work. If it’s not working, work harder.
It took me years of work on myself to be able to unequivocally say “F**k That Sh*t.”

No, you don’t. We grow, we change, we evolve, and sometimes our new growth calls for something other than the life we’ve been living.

In the words of the great Kenny Rogers, “You gotta know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ‘em, know when to walk away, know when to run.”

In this society of “Go, Go, Go” and “Do, Do, Do” and “You’re needs don’t matter”, we have to develop the capacity to stop when we need to stop.

I’m feeling this today as I’ve been hit with a dust allergy from my job (which is much more than a simple dust allergy and an upcoming blog post!) and suddenly feeling razor throat and a headache, as a delightful “something” is going around right now.

Taking care of ourselves means doing what we can comfortably do when we can do it; letting ourselves say “No. Not today.” when we may be getting sick, may have our mental health to take care of, or just need a break from our lives for a minute.

I’m sharing this ahead of aforementioned upcoming blog post because 1. I feel it today and as I’ve been working to re-launch my business after a long break, I’ve had to remind myself of how much inner work I had to do just to get myself to take a break from trying so hard to start a business doing what I care about so deeply.
And 2. Upcoming blog post is all about why that break happened and a cautionary tale for anyone experiencing health/ mental health issues (they go together, am I right?) and I really wanted to have it written already and I’m catching myself doing the “mental beating up-thing”.

That being said, for myself and anyone else that needs to see it today…
We have to be able to take a break and let it be ok. We come first. We can’t pour from an empty cup. If we’re not mentally or physically up to it, it’s ok. It’s going to happen.
We need to be ok with putting on the breaks to take care of ourselves.

When something stressful, even overwhelmingly so, occurs do you know how to effectively calm yourself down? Not with a substance that masks that stress response, but with a practice that brings your nervous system (our body’s “fight-flight-freeze-panic-freak out” response) back into balance?

The right type of breathing for a particular moment or the right movement can help us get out of the icky, automatic mode of a super stressful experience in the moment.
With regular practice, our systems may not even get to that mode to begin with. Long exhales can get us to stop shaking and regular yoga can improve our heart rate variability (our measure of quickly our heartbeat comes back into a calm, normal pattern).

While it’s not as simple as that sounds as it takes practice, repetition, and remembering to use those tools in the moment, it is absolutely a game-changer. A life-changer, actually. These days, it may even more crucial to our daily well-being to have this knowledge and ability at our fingertips…

Take it from someone who use to automatically shake uncontrollably when my stability (my home situation, in particular) was threatened. It felt like s**t. It doesn’t feel like s**t anymore because I know how to get right out of that mode.

This is your Sunday night/ Monday morning reminder that running ourselves into the ground isn’t helpful for anyone; not for us and not for the people around us.

When we start feeling the squeeze of doing too much and trying to please others to our own detriment, it’s a great time to unapologetically say “no” and take some time just for us. Whether it’s kids, bosses, spouses, or friends asking or expecting too much, we all need OUR time and no one is going to take it for us. 😉

In a society that wears endless work cycles like a badge of honor and has instilled the idea that running ourselves into the ground is the only way to “make it” and to be successful…

What if that’s all bulls**t?

We’ve been conditioned to believe we have to earn the right to happiness, financial abundance, and personal success. Nothing is our “right” unless we’ve earned it. We are only at our best when we’re busting our asses into a mental health condition.

What if the true hallmark of “success” is being able to fully slow down, sit with quiet and stillness, be with ourselves, and say “Absolutely not!” to performing for others when we need a break? THAT is more doing our best than burning ourselves out by keeping every second filled with activities and work-work-work.

We are not alive to run ourselves into the ground and deal with the fallout from it later. That’s no way to “live”; it’s a quicker way to a miserable existence.

This week, I encourage us all to take time for ourselves and for no one else. ❤️
