Making Space 2024: December 8

Hello, hello!

Welcome to Day 8!

How did things go with your Weekend Fun Plan?

Did you fit it into your day yesterday?

Do you have it planned for today?

Did it have to be rescheduled?

Did you have to change it in any way?

Did you manage to have some fun no matter what?

Personally, I had to shift my WFP a little and do parts of the craft yesterday and then finish it today.

Breaking it into two parts was actually a space-making move for me because I was tired yesterday and didn’t have the focus I needed to do the more detailed parts of the project.

If I had pushed myself to keep going, it wouldn’t have felt like I was creating space, I would have felt rushed and cranky.

And, obviously, those are not the feelings I was going for!

Anyway, I hope your WFP worked out/is working out the way you need/needed it to and that you were kind to yourself in the process.

Actually, I would like you to be kind to yourself in every process but that, in itself, is something that takes a lot of practice!

Speaking of processes and practice, our movement practice for today is a 10 Minute Full Body Pilates Workout with Jessica Valent.

Remember that the key here is to take a few minutes for movement – you can adapt her movements, just do a few, or you can do something else entirely.

You are the boss of you!

Still image description shows the instructor outside on a sunny day, lying on a blue mat in a grassy field surrounded by trees. She is in exercise clothes and she is extending one leg along the ground while the other one is extended toward the sky and she is holding onto the calf of her raised leg. Her face is toward the camera and she’s smiling.

And today’s mindfulness practice is a short meditation that National Center on Health, Physical Activity, and Disability in the US created for National Relaxation Day (August 15) a couple of years ago.

Whether you do these videos or something else entirely, I hope you find space and ease today, and always.
