April is Stress Awareness Month.

Here are two powerful tools you always have with you:
1⃣ Your breath
2⃣ Your voice

When stress takes over, your breath is your fastest reset. Even a few slow deep breaths can help to calm the nervous system.

And your voice, whether that means calling a friend, talking with a therapist, journaling, or simply saying out loud how you feel, is one of the most powerful ways to release what you are carrying.

Know that whatever you are feeling is valid. ❤️

🙋‍♀️ Does any of this sound familiar?

Stress has a way of settling into our bodies, without us even realizing it. You may go through the motions of each day, living your life full of distractions, but slowly over time will start to notice the tension, the inability to focus, the irritability, and the physical pain and discomfort.

The practice of mindfulness allows us to notice, without judgment, what we are actually experiencing in our bodies. Because when we slow down enough to notice, we can respond instead of react.

The mind and body are deeply connected. What we hold emotionally, we often feel physically. And the more we tune in, the more we can find our way through it in a way that is proactive, not reactive.

A few deep breaths. A moment of stillness. A simple check in with yourself. It all matters.

🧘🏻 Myth: Yoga is for flexible and super fit people.

🧘🏻‍♀️ Fact: That's one of the biggest myths that I hear as an instructor. And to be honest, it's what I thought when I first started doing yoga. However, that couldn't be further from the truth.

This practice is for anyone that is looking to slow down, connect with their body, and calm their minds. The young and the young at heart alike.

Whether you are super flexible or you can barely touch your toes, there's a place for you on the mat. And the cool thing is there are lots of different types of yoga to choose from!

Not sure where to start? Try mountain pose. Stand tall, feet hip width apart, arms relaxed to your sides. Close your eyes or lower your gaze. Take three slow breaths. That's it. That is yoga!

I had the honor of hosting kids, ages 1 to 4, and their grown-ups recently.

We got to breathe, read, play, and do other fun activities together. It was a reminder that mindfulness is actually pretty simple.

It lives in the small actions we take every day.
It's being present. It's noticing. It's letting go of judgment.

It's a breath, eye contact, a hug, a slow walk, or a conversation without the distraction of a phone.

🗨️ What does being present look like in your home?

Kids learn best when it feels like play.

A pinwheel is one of the most simple and effective ways to introduce breathwork to young children. It gives something tangible to focus on, making the breathing feel fun and purposeful (and it's inexpensive!)

Here's how it works:

👃🏻Take a slow deep breath in through the nose
👄 Exhale slowly through the mouth and watch the pinwheel spin
✔️ The longer the breath, the longer it spins

When kids learn to control their breath, they're also learning to regulate their nervous system. This is a great mindfulness skill that they're going to have with them for the rest of their lives.

Kindness can be taught from a very young age. Little ones are so much more capable of understanding it than we give them credit for. Sharing, giving hugs, taking turns, using gentle hands, waving and smiling.

This is just a sneak peek at the kinds of activities I bring to my family mindfulness events.

🏠 Try this at home with your kids! Grab a piece of paper and draw two columns, kind and unkind. Take turns naming things you do for others and decide together which column they belong in.

🗨️ Start the conversation. Ask your little one: "What is something kind you did today?"

Share their answers in the comments. I love seeing all the good we are putting into the world. 🌍

You are enough, exactly as you are. 🤗

We put so much pressure on ourselves to show up in what we think is a perfect way because, somewhere along the way, we started living by what we think others expect us to be. But the truth is that we are humans. We are flawed. We have good days and we have challenging days.

We are all doing this life day by day, in real time. We haven't done this before. We are figuring it out as we go with so many things coming at us from every direction.

Give yourself space to feel whatever you need to feel. Find strategies and people to help you through those tough moments. Learn to be proactive rather than reactive. Let go of the expectation that you need to be something you are not.

💆 One of the ways I help people do exactly that is through Reiki. It's a gentle, healing practice that helps you slow down, reset your nervous system, and bring balance to mind and body. If you've been feeling overwhelmed, or just in need of a reset, Reiki might be the perfect thing to try.

Less than a minute. That's all it took.

I was sitting at my desk feeling tense, with tight muscles and difficulty focusing. So I stepped away and gave my body what it was asking for.

Three poses. Under a minute. Perfect reset.

🌿 Child's Pose: Releases tension in the neck, shoulders and lower back.

🌿 Cat/Cow: Brings movement to the spine and releases tightness.

🌿 Down Dog: Stretches the entire back body and decompresses the spine.

Next time you're feeling tense, step away if you can. Even a minute of gentle movement is helpful.
