Finally a official when you got the man bun going...or maybe just letting go of old hygiene standards. Swipe to see how serious we need to be about all this😆
-
Whatever comes to mind as true, how do we really know? How often do we make judgements on appearances that are later shown not to be true?
-
Perhaps putting unearned trust in “gurus” or “influencers” because they’ve got “the look”, or know how to pitch only to then be let down. I know as one who has been let down, and let others down. And as someone who has been in the yoga, fitness, and sales/marketing world I’ve learned it’s often not the content, but the delivery that sells...and that can be ok as long as the content has real value. 💯
-
And for those of us who exploit selling bulls**t...sending much love and healing knowing how likely it’s because we feel like s**t and need a facade to protect. 🙏💜 Yes, it may serve to a extent and give us “success” although it’s not like knowing how to sell using flashy media will give us any real power like holding the highest political offices... 🙄
Oh, then perhaps it’s time to consider going below the surface to ensure we’re not using power to hurt others and ultimately ourselves. As well as realizing how much when seeking certainty in a uncertain world we understandably seek patterns and stories that may not true because its shiny and new. By learning to observe more mindfully, the we can better sort through it all. Those are the observations at least that got squeezed out of my mind with this man bun. 😉👍

is the main reason I’ve developed the physical practices I do today. 💯 To keep me from going over the edge I went over almost 10 years ago with , , and .
-
I , , and do other practices not to look good or for a sense of validation. Because the reality is I had looked “good” and had been validated with “success” those years ago supposed happy, and yet would still wake up every morning saying “f*ck me”, and then go about finding ways to numb out. When I finally realized the harm I was doing to myself and others was when I started my journey of which included , , , and other practices.
-
All of which which helped me recognize and heal from , and learn to calm a mind stuck in the past or future and instead embrace the present as a gift. Grateful that I can now play with the edges knowing that change brings growth. And grateful that we’re never truly alone surrounded by others who’ve also overcome challenges willing to support us in learning to once again see the beauty all around. 🙏
-
Lets be free and realize the strength it takes to discuss these issues, and use these platforms to support healthy conversations around mental health. Know you can reach out to me, or any of the various free therapy resources available that I’d be happy to share. 🙏💜🌎

What moves you? I’ve found in the past when I’ve felt stuck in my was when I would isolate from the outside world stuck in the stories that the world is a scary and dangerous place.
-
Stories we all likely developed to protect from being hurt again only to see us also disconnect and cause more hurt. Disconnecting from our bodies and the world by cocooning in our rooms or social media bubbles we can feel constricted.
-
And perhaps there’s a time when for that, while also seeing there is a time to shed the shells embracing the beauty in and around us.
-
In doing so we can move, dance, and be more free inspired by the the sounds and sights of . Be it the music of the winds and waves, lights of the sky, or rhythms of others like stretching us to expand our hearts and minds.
-
Who or what else can we surround ourselves with to inspire our expansion? 🤔 Comment or tag to spread the vibes we want more of. 💜👍
-
May all be happy, at peace, and free to be🙏🌎

“You can’t control the waves but you can learn to surf” is a saying I learned from based stress reduction teacher Jon Kabat Zinn when I started my journey of healing and recovery from disconnection, , years ago 🌊🏄🏻
-
Reminder that calming the mind through practices like , , or other practices is to learn not to ignore or dominate challenging waves in life, but to use new tools to embrace and ride them out. And perhaps be better able to enjoy the journey having fun along the wave. 🌊😆🤘
-
What are fun tools you’re using to navigate the waves IRL or even digitally? And who can you do it with? Share with me in comments, and/or share with others since it’s more fun doing it together in . 🙌💜🌎

Haven’t figured out the Reel thing yet just having rooted back down home after being mainly off grid for over a month.
-
So will just keep it real in expressing gratitude for the opportunities to connect to our beautiful world in deeper ways. Including being able to share it with y’all on platforms like this which is all part of Nature.
-
How can we find gratitude for the things we overlook or even initially resist?
-
May we all be happy, at peace, and free. 🙏💜🌎

When solo trekking, lots of solo singing 🎵😉 Why sing?
-
1) Helps regulate your breath when physically exerting yourself like hiking 6-12 miles a day.
2) Can help stimulate your vagus nerve to stay calm for whatever challenges including bears.
3) Speaking of bears, when in their habitat making sounds can warn them you’re around, and they are less likely to be surprised and act defensively.
-
And so yeah, if I sound off key to you I’m hoping the bears think so as well and scroll away. 🐻😆
-
Why do you like to sing?

Many challenges we’ve survived
So it’s alright to unwind
To allow ourselves to truly thrive
-
-
What would happen if we gave ourselves and each other a break now and then?

Singing on my recent trip to breathe while climbing 3000 feet, warn off bears, and stay calm when I almost lost a trekking pole off a cliff.
-
I’ve found learning to control the breath allows us to be stronger and more skilled in playing with our edges. Play with our edges enough for growth, and not so much to fall off.
-
Coming back from off grid, I notice a lot of edges being played societally. Reactions to social injustice, economics, public health, ect...
-
Are these reactions no matter how well intentioned really giving us the results we want if it’s leading to more separation and death? What is it we all really want? 🤔
-
Could it be that when we’re all understandably stressed in these times we stay stuck in fight/flight nervous system states that leads to us being more reactive than responsive in effectively dealing with the issues? When we’re more reactive we tend to overestimate the challenges, which leads to more embracing of conspiracy theories, as well as religious and political dogma since they give us a sense of control.
-
However, while I love and see y’all coping best we can, perhaps we can take a step back, breathe deep to think deep, and ensure we’re not getting unintended consequences such as say falling off a cliff.
-
How’ve you found ways to play with your edges without going over? Comment or DM to let me know your thoughts. 🙏💜
