IT'S MORE THAN OKAY:⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..To order postmates more than usual.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..To get creative in the kitchen and try new recipes.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..To stay up later than usual.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..To wake up earlier than usual.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..To need alone time.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..To crave company.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..To wish the quarantine were lifted.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..To wish you could continue to work from home.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..To be worried about what the new normal will be.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..To be optimistic about what the new normal could be.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..To watch way more TV than usual⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..To order a bunch of books & escape to that new world.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..To spend less time on social media⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀..To spend more time connecting online⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
BUT PLEASE DO SO WITHOUT JUDGING YOURSELF.⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
GIVE YOURSELF SOME COMPASSION. ⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⁣⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What do you think? How can you show yourself some compassion and understanding today?⁣

When I asked my body what it wanted to do... 𝘐 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘰𝘬.⁣
⁣
Literally. Last night, I was feeling a bit strange so I began tuning into my body to see what was up... 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗻 𝗜 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗸𝗲. It was completely involuntary but quite profound. ⁣
⁣
But rather than freaking out or getting worked up about it, I deepened my breath and 𝗯𝗲𝗰𝗮𝗺𝗲 𝗮 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝘁.⁣
⁣
It was mostly in my lower back, abdomen, and hips (typically where I’ve held my trauma). I let the shaking go on for a few minutes.
⁣
I then wondered if my core was contracting and trembling in an attempt to bring my knees in...so I very slowly allowed that to happen. ⁣
⁣
𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗹𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗼 𝗮 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗽.⁣
⁣
I ended up in a reclined fetal position, curled up in a little ball. But I didn’t feel small, 𝗜 𝗳𝗲𝗹𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗳𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱. Like a hug. ⁣
⁣
I took a few more deep breaths, and next thing I knew I woke up the next morning. 𝗜 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙 𝗼𝘂𝘁 and fell into a deep sleep! ⁣
⁣
𝗜’𝗺 𝘀𝗼 𝗴𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗺𝘆 𝗯𝗼𝗱𝘆 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗱𝗼 𝘁𝗼 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀... it’s a learned experience to be able to slow down & move through it without fear or going over a threshold. ⁣
⁣
𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗳 “𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘂𝗺𝗮” 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗜’𝘃𝗲 𝗹𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗱...⁣
⁣
I believe important to learn how to safely navigate them in order to release trauma from our body and that’s why I do the work that I do. 𝗗𝗠 𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝘆 𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 𝗼𝗿 𝗶𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲. ⁣

𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝘂𝗻𝗻𝗮 𝘀𝗮𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀.... ⁣
⁣
Sometimes we have to twist and bend to find balance in situations that feel totally scary and unfair... ⁣
⁣
Our time on our yoga mat, can help prepare us for real life situations that bring about the same sensations and feelings. ⁣
⁣
Yoga and Somatic bodywork teaches us to 𝘣𝘦 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘥𝘪𝘴𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵, breathe, and allow it move through.⁣
⁣
So I invite you to recognize that you’re still here. You’re still standing. There may be more to heal, but you survived. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗔𝗙.⁣
⁣
Let’s breathe and move it through the rest of it together. 𝗗𝗠 𝗺𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗮𝘀𝗸 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗰𝗼𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹. ⁣
