Hi Space Makers!
I’m in comfy mode today.
My family dinners and gift exchanges happened yesterday and I am slowly getting out of a ‘doing’ mindset and into a ‘being’ mindset…
Or, that’s the switch I am aiming for so I dressed accordingly and I am hoping for the best.
Whether your celebrations are behind you, in front of you, or you are somewhere in the middle, I am sending you some of my ‘comfy mode’ energy.
If you have sidestepped the holidays and are just following your regular routine, I’m also sending you comfy mode energy.
In fact, I wonder what it would be like if we could actually hold on to this kind of energy and give ourselves a little bit whenever we need it?
What would have to happen for us to be able to pause in the middle of a hectic time and breathe in that sense of rest and ease?
What would we have to know/thing/believe in order to make that work?
I wonder if it is one of those things that just takes practice?
It’s worth a try, hey?
So, space making friends, whatever you have going on today, I invite you to pause long enough to imagine yourself in your comfiest mode and to let your body and brain remember what that feels like.
Even if you can only spend 5 minutes calling up those images, ideas, and sensations in as vivid detail as you can, I’m sure it would feel really good.
And feeling good is really our big picture plan, isn’t it?
Let me know if you give this comfy mode imagination exercise a try!
In the meantime, here are our suggested practices today. Whether you try these, try the comfy mode practice above or whether you do something entirely different, I wish you ease today and always.
For our movement practice today, here’s a Morning Standing Stretch from Senior Shape Fitness. Since I am in comfy mode this standing stretch video with the instructor in a bathrobe had a lot of appeal!
And here’s our mindfulness practice for today A 10 Minute Guided Meditation For Your Overactive Mind from Great Meditation. (Even when I’m in comfy mode, my ADHD brain likes to keep whirring so I’ll take all the help I can get!)
