I’m not much for New Year’s resolutions anymore. I’ve spent a lot of years setting goals that were often unrealistic or restrictive with the intention of “fixing” the parts of my life that were lacking. But I was never lacking. I just bought into the cultural narrative that keeps us feeling like we are not enough. Let’s call in a little more self-compassion for the year ahead!!

So I did a thing…

Actually I’ve done a few things….

Over the past few years as I leaned into my own wellness journey, I discovered the power of embodiment practices.

In 2021 I completed a 200hr yoga teacher training with the beautiful @lianejichuk and @rebeccawatsonyoga. I’ve always loved yoga and wanted so badly to one day teach…..but I didn’t. I was too afraid that people would not like what I had to offer. I was stuck in all of the nonsense and fear that consume our thoughts far too often.

This little sign has had me chuckling all day long. I can’t help but think this is a perfect metaphor for the stage of life I find myself in currently.

When I think of the last 20yrs of my life, give or take, I can’t help but feel it was all a bit of a blur. It’s been well lived, well-loved and very much enjoyed but it has just passed by so quickly and to be honest it has exhausted this girl.
