The Most Important Question I’m Asking This Week
When we do things that make us feel good, we feel safe. When we feel safe, our nervous systems are regulated. When we feel regulated, we are wise.
Whether we’re leading, teaching, parenting, mentoring, caregiving or conversing, we’re always coming from our current state of being. How do you want to show up this week in all your interactions? Watch a 3-minute video for some self-care support where I invite you to pause, breathe with me and consider this question.
On the east coast last week with my friends Val and Nicole. We enjoyed heartfelt connection and rest after leading a retreat at Kripalu. The four things that help me feel great are movement, community singing, being in nature and authentic connection.
I’d love to hear from you. Drop me a line this week and if you like, carve out the afternoon of Dec. 21 for my annual Winter Solstice retreat (early bird rate still available). I’ll put the kettle on and save you a spot by the fire.
Warmly,
