Love comes in many forms

Communication, communication, communication…..
💕💕💕
That was my grandmother’s answer when I asked her how she and my grandfather had been happily married for 60 years. That lesson has stuck with me and I’ve worked hard on improving my communication skills. It’s not easy! Open communication can sometimes be very vulnerable and scary, but it’s necessary to create strong, meaningful connections with others. Not just with your partner, but with your parents, your friends, your co-workers. In fact, this is one of the key components of creating a culture of trust that fosters collaboration, empowerment and fulfillment.

For tips on how to improve your communication skills I recommend engaging in the yoga practice of satya. Satya is Sanskrit for honesty and it asks us to be honest in a way that causes the least amount of harm. It suggests that we communicate what is: 1) honest, 2) beneficial, and 3) will be heard by the person you are speaking to. This is a great guide that I use every day! Test it out for yourself and let me know how it goes!
💕💕💕
It worked well for my grandparents who were ultimately married for 71 years! They both passed 1 year before my husband and I were married and I’m so fortunate to have my grandmother’s wedding ring incorporated into mine. Swipe left to see them.⬅️

FYI - Satya is one of the practices within the 1st limb of the 8 Limbs of Yoga known as the yamas. To learn more about this way of life, download my 8 Limbs of Yoga Guide for free--link in bio. Namaste.

Practicing lovingkindness grounds me. It helps me remember what is most important in life. It helps drive my purpose, my happiness and my connection to all that is.

Take a deep breath and remember that you are love.💗. . . .

Ahimsā is the yoga practice of being compassionate and non-harmful. Often times it seems easier to be kinder to others than to ourselves. But when we make an effort to be kinder and more compassionate to ourselves, we can give even more love to others. It’s a win-win! 💗

When I’m in nature I feel at peace. Nature calms our nerves and helps us rejuvenate our body, mind and spirit. It’s a great self-care tool for us especially during these unsettling times.💙💛
