Let's talk

In my previous post about recovery, I emphasized how important sleep is for my overall -being
When we are younger, our bodies are more resilient to whatever we throw at them...staying up late, eating late, alcohol, etc..we wake up the next day ready to tackle the day ahead.
As we get older, our resilience drops significantly. We cannot avoid the required responsibilities..jobs, driving, work, kids, paying bills, taking care of aging parents..these responsibilities alone start taking a toll on our health. If you are a health freak like me, throw in healthy lifestyle..healthy cooking, working out, and prioritizing 😴, we realize we just don't have enough "time" in the day and some things take a back seat such as our own health.
Well, let me begin by saying that as we get older, OUR PRIORITIES NEED TO CHANGE..there is no two-way about it. Why? Because our bodies are not as they used to when we were younger. Our hormones are exiting the party and therefore, we NEED to create lifestyle changes to continue to feel the same vitality and energy that we used to.
Sleep is the most important thing you can invest in. PERIOD.
I have an daily intentional sleep practice (on Saturdays, I chill just a little). This is how I go about my optimal sleep ritual 😌
😴 I stopped eating late dinners about a year ago. I finish my last meal around 4:30pm. If I ever eat later, I keep the portion small.
😴No alcohol on weekdays. Only one or two 🍸 on the weekends and that too, at least four hours before 🛌
😴 I take a warm 🛁 or 🚿 every single night. Helps relax my nervous system.
😴I wear blue light blocking glasses one to two hours before bed. Blue light suppresses release of (sleep hormone). As we get older, our melatonin levels drop making it harder to get quality sleep.
😴I take certain supplements specific to my needs ( , -theanine, , ) to help my body relax further making it easier to drift off into deep sleep.
😴I keep my room temperature cold (keep the window a crack open in winter) to keep my my core temperature low.
😴I wear an eye mask to ensure total darkness to stay asleep 💤

Absolutely love my sleep✌️ 😴

Let's talk .

I do not take this lightly. With out the door, my body is not as as it used to be. Anything that raises is a on the body including working out. used to help my body deal with stress. Now that I am 50, I have to be more intentional and proactive about my recovery that ever before for both my and . This is the only way I can stay and especially in the uncertain times that we are currently living in...aging parents..kids off to college...empty nesting...what's next...

Here are my -negotiable protocols for intentional recovery that I engage in regularly 😌
✨️Epsom salt 🛁 great recovery for muscles but also for overall well-being. I also make it a by burning some to detox from negative energies. 💡 shower first, then bath and then rinse off or let it dry naturally. Helps absorb the deeply.
✨️ practices 🧘‍♀️. This includes or , for -reflection (processing of thoughts and emotions) and
✨️ for pain relief and overall wellness
✨️blue-light blocking glasses to optimize sleep- my most important priority. This is where my body becomes strong and resilient. I also track my sleep with a sleep tracker to make sure I am getting optimal deep and rem sleep. I do not indulge in alcohol during the week and finish my last meal by 4:30pm. I also take specific supplements to enhance sleep quality.
✨️hydration 💧 very important. I drink close to 100oz of water daily. Helps keep things moving. Stagnation is the root cause of ill-health.
✨️love my foam-rolling to release knots and fascia to enhance good blood flow.

Additional recovery modalities include therapy, (at least once a month), adjustment (once a month), standing on my head for five minutes a few times a week for and benefits, and feet .
I DO NOT TAKE MY RECOVERY LIGHTLY.
I want to be agile, be independent, open the damn jars 🙃.and be a fu***ng badass 😎 in my 60s and beyond ✌️

Yep. This is another passion of mine. Working out 💪

What started out as a means to and eventually turned into an obsession (fear of gaining back the 100lbs I lost)..now, the meaning has changed into to age , keep my , keep opening the damn jars 🙃, and maintain my agility and muscle to prevent age-related and .

And, every workout session begins with quality work to warm-up the tendons and ligaments and ends with static stretching to relax the nervous system.
While stretching, the quality of my breathing, especially the exhalation talks to my to stop contracting the muscles in order to relax and allows the cortisol to drop which tends to rise during workouts.

This is how I try to prevent common injuries that arise when hormones walk out the door. It is all about intention. 🫶

We all can agree on one thing..this world is not what it was a few years ago. There is a lot of , , , ...and it has, unfortunately, become the norm... beyond anything we can ever comprehend or control. We feel helpless. Our stress levels are higher that ever. We take one day at a time and breathe a sigh of relief when the day passes without any "incidents". We are all experiencing the same emotions and fears as a collective. And, we find that distractions from lifestyles and/ or social media helps to forget the unrest temporarily. But, we cannot ignore the reality of these times.
From years of daily sitting, spending "intentional" time in nature and self-care practices, I have found an inner space that is sacred and "untouched" by the external world. As someone who feels deeply for the injustice and suffering inflicted upon the innocent and the weaker segments of society, I find myself losing it, more often nowadays 💔 This is when I retreat into my inner world to find the strength to face the unfortunate sad times of our world today. I also use journaling to reflect on my emotions, my thoughts, my feelings.
If you are in the same boat as me, this might be the retreat you don't want to miss. As your mentor, I will guide you through some practices to help you quietly observe your thoughts, how it affects your mental well-being, and help you get acquainted with the profound peace within. When we can't control our external world, we find the strength within to navigate the hard times. I will leave you with this beautiful ........."God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference"." The God here, in my opinion, is the ONE within you and this journey (retreat) will be the first step for you to find that. ✨️💕🙏

As I am getting older, my circle of "friends" is getting smaller.
When I was in my teens, I was lonely. No one wanted to be friends with me because of my appearance.
When I was in my twenties and thirties, I made friends who I thought were "friends"...hanging out, going to movies, grabbing lunch, etc. Also, because I lost a little weight and looked like the so-called
As I turned the corner into my forties, I still had "friends" but the definition of true started to make more sense. I never felt fulfilled in any relationship. I never felt like my cup was filling up. I always felt like I needed a 😴 after the little social rendezvous

Now, as I turned 50 this year, I have realized that true friendship
👥️ is a two-way street
👥️ it has to feel
👥️ there should be no
👥️ there is no room for and
👥️ I should feel refreshed not exhausted
👥️ I should not need to think twice before picking up the phone to call to just talk and vice versa
👥️ I shouldn't feel the need to look or dress a certain way to "fit in" or "belong" or just to hang out

And, I have noticed, I don't have any of that, never had.
It was always fake and a facade for five decades and I don't have the energy anymore to feed into that kind of a fake world.

As I am getting older, my circle is getting smaller and I am very content with that. For me, having a true friend needs to feel authentic, effortless, gossip-free, and judgement- free. It is a connection of two souls exchanging energetic vibes that feels content, soulful and fulfilled ✨️ 😌
As my spiritual practice has deepened, I am content in my own company. My inner world is at peace and doesn't need any kind of external stimulation to feel whole and fulfilled. My mental sanity is paramount to my overall well-being ✨️

I have a daily sitting practice since 2010. Over the years as my meditation practice has deepened, I have realized two things-
🧘‍♀️we cannot control out mind
🧘external aids such as music, mantras, guided, mala beads, etc. are distractions to temporarily quieten the mind. They will not give you the ultimate freedom.

The practice of sitting requires only one thing, observing the thoughts as an observer, without getting involved, without creating narratives. When that happens, we become aware and return back to being a detached observer.
With regular practice, the mind lets go of its grip and we become silent. When that happens, meditation happens.

Did you know, I offer a donation-based meditation class every Saturday at 10:30am EST online. Just your presence for twenty uninterrupted minutes and you will learn the tools to build a sustainable sitting practice where you can rest in ultimate peace and experience ultimate freedom 😌
