Navigating Change? We're here to help!!

Change is hard, because it's not just doing things differently, it's about learning to undo how you've always done things. Ready to start a new diet? You also have to teach your body and mind to crave different things. Shifting your mindset? It's also about un-believing all the truths you've told yourself (especially if they aren't true). I recently moved to a new home, and while I'm learning the ins/outs of the new space, it's also about challenging all the patterns I had established - where I drive/shop, what time I wake up, when do I time my yoga practice? Trying to live somewhere new and do things the same is like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Everything is different, the flow is different, and by default, I'M now different.

And with self-grace, calling on support, and allowing space for things to unfold and become something new, I'm not resisting the flow of life, I'm merging with it.

Try out this reflection:
Where might there be places you are unconsciously creating an energetic backflow by holding resistance to change?

This reflection alone can be impactful...
And remember that you don't have to do change alone. We're here to support you, and we have some AMAZING offers (scroll to the bottom) coming up in support of Mental Health Awareness Month in May. Whether seasonal shifts or big life changes, when things are different, we can feel dysregulated. Through yoga and our wellness services, we can help you find that new balance and rhythm, so you're back in the flow! www.newtownwellnesscollective.com

Wishing you a spacious mental week ahead! Most sincerely ~ Jen Rizza

Translation: Take a step back to reflect so you're in a better position to jump forward

This has rung very true for me lately. And it's been helpful to frame this particular moment in my life in this light - that taking time to step back, to recalibrate, will give me space to see more clearly for what comes next. Within this, it's felt like a permission to soften, to turn inward and yield. What comes next is always unknown, but in taking time to stop forcing (hello, control issues, what?!?), I'm opening space to allow for what will unfold. And that feels like take a deep breath in....and out....

With school spring break this past week, it's been quiet at the studio, but we're geared up and ready to support you!

In these times that try to divide, may we remember we share more in common than naught.

The traditions of Passover and Easter are closely linked, a reminder that while beliefs and labels may differentiate, at the core, there is still much that is the same. In these times that seek to divide, rather than unite, perhaps we may pause to ask what we share in common with our neighbor? Our coworker? People passing by? At the core, we are all still human, making our way through this journey of life, with its ups and downs, twists, turns and surprises.

It was when I read 'Radical Acceptance,' by Tara Brach that I became starkly aware that everyone, yes, everyone, is going through some type of challenge. We all walk through life masquerading as if everything is okay, but just below the surface, there is something that each person holds in worry, care, concern. It might be about a loved one, or mental health, or needing to lose weight, or heartbreak, or finances, or a sense of safety... In honoring that at any given moment, every person has something to share about what's weighing on them, it may just evoke opportunity to soften, be kinder, hold compassion and empathy. And in that, we recall our common human condition, and maybe let differences subside, allowing connection to blossom.

For those who are celebrating this holiday season, we send our wishes for joy, light and hope. And for those not celebrating this season, we equally send our wishes for joy, light and hope. May the light within us all shine brightly! Namaste! ~ Jen Rizza, Founder of Newtown Wellness Collective, Reiki Master Teacher, Therapeutic Yoga Teacher

Sometimes you just have to (metaphorically) jump!

The second part of Carolyn Myss' quote is: 'Do you really want to look back on your life and see how wonderful it could have been had you not been afraid to live it?'

What can so often hold us back is a fear of the unknown and resistance to stepping outside our comfort zone to get what we want. If you do the same thing, though, you get the same results. When it's time to grow, time to expand, mindset makes all the difference. Doing the thing that scares you presses you to learn about yourself and open to new possibilities - from a song that I hear in my music rotation: 'what if I fall? But, what if you don't....what if you fly?' Hearing this always reminds me to seek the inspiration of what could be, to step into living.

What scares you the most right now? What decision or new direction or choice is nudging you? What is your mindset about it? Risks can carry the possibility of failure, but they can also open you to soar and rise. Taking the leap, the jump into the unknown, will always yield growth and learning, no matter the outcome. And with that mindset, you can never fail.

If you'd like to hear that song - here's a link, it's called 'Jump' by Me n u
