How many of you have trouble sleeping? 😬🤦‍

How many of you have trouble sleeping?
😬🤦‍♀️
It is not surprising to see almost all hands slowly rise when posed this question. Sleep is such an important component to overall health and well being. Addressing these concerns should be a priority for all youth workers. Sleep is where everything happens for the mind, body and heart. Learning is integrated. Muscles are healed. Emotions are reset.
❤️✨
The promise of a restful night sleep is a motivating factor for students to bring this work out of the classroom and into their home.

Are you feeling the struggle each day to keep your

Are you feeling the struggle each day to keep your head above water?

This year is more of a marathon than a sprint, because most likely these challenges will continue throughout the year. While we have little control over external factors, we can create habits to help us manage this school year with less stress. During our MoveMindfully® Foundation Training, we will take the time to acknowledge how many of us are feeling on the inside and lay the groundwork for success during this unprecedented year.

Registration closes tomorrow, so register today! Message us for an instagram discount code!

What is the difference between listen and listenin

What is the difference between listen and listening, between see and seeing, between love and loving?

Although adding the "ing" may seem like
a subtle change, it invites us into a deeper present moment experience.

Adding the "ing" welcomes movement, fluidity and openness, allowing us to move from a fixed or even rigid state to a state of expansion and flexibility.

Turn fear 😬 into courage 💪 One of the easies

Turn fear 😬 into courage 💪
One of the easiest ways to change how we feel during the day is to slow down our breathing. When we are fearful or anxious, our breathing is quick and shallow. Slower breathing activates the parasympathetic nervous system and moves us out of our flight, fight, freeze (stress) response. Take a moment to notice if you are starting your day feeling fearful or uncertain. Acknowledge that feeling and thank it for working to keep you safe and alerting you to the unknowns of the day ahead. Then, try taking five breaths using pursed-lip breathing to transform fear into courage. Breathe in through the nose and slowly breathe out through the mouth with pursed lips (like you are blowing out a candle or spinning a pinwheel – no candle or pinwheel required!). Notice how these slow, pursed lip breaths can change feelings of fear into feelings of courage. If you need to, come back to pursed lip breathing during the day to draw on your courage.

"And I’ll rise up. I rise like the day. I will r

"And I’ll rise up. I rise like the day. I will rise up unafraid and I will do it 1000 times again. I will rise up in spite of the ache. I will rise."

These words of Andra Day play loudly on my phone. The pain of these days is so real and tangible. I wake up every morning and allow myself a moment to feel deeply, for I know this is part of my healing journey.

So, this pause invites you inside to allow yourself to touch on the pain, rise up, and transform your pain into strength.
