Happy National Simplicity Day!
Today is a good opportunity to pause and take inventory of how we are living our lives each day and what we are filling our time with.
Reflecting on our values can guide us in determining what we want to keep in our lives and what is no longer serving us.
In the world today, there are so many options, distractions, and opportunities that can pull our attention and time in multiple directions. Especially in a tech saturated world, we have to be diligent and intentional about setting healthy boundaries so we can spend time and focus on what’s most important to us.
One way of slowing down, getting present, and quieting our monkey mind is through
practicing Yoga.
YOGA HAS MANY PHYSICAL, MENTAL & EVEN SPIRITUAL BENEFITS.
When our goal is to cultivate more mental ease and to free our minds from unhelpful clutter,
aligning our body movements with our breath can be a powerful tool.
And when we support ourselves in getting more quiet and present, we create an opening that allows us to reflect on and more mindfully choose how we want to live our lives and spend our time.
Of course, yoga isn’t the only way of achieving this…
If you’re struggling to bring more simplicity into your life, I’d be honored to support you in exploring possibilities for achieving this. We will create a wellness vision, realistic and sustainable long- and short-term goals and I will be your compassionate accountability partner, helping you navigate barriers to success.
I invite you to schedule a COMPLIMENTARY DISCOVERY CALL with me here.
