complaints

Whatever you are complaining about: how can you either accept it or change it?

a sense of humor

is essential!

lighthearted

What does lighthearted focus feel / look like?

shame

“Shame is a soul-eating emotion.” —Carl Jung

Humor can be a bridge between shame and truth.

Find a way to own it.

trust

Trust the flow by anchoring in truth, not in duality of good / bad.

Don’t force, over-manage, or try to be clever — trust the flow by feel.

big feels

Relate to your triggered self like a parent to a child.

Be able to sit right next to your least favorite feelings and look them in the eye.

What are you afraid to feel? What feeling are you avoiding? What are you afraid to feel?

Let anger sharpen your clarity.

Move with love, not fear.

Don’t be afraid to stretch into your furthest ranges of motion.

how you hold yourself

Healthy posture = head is aligned with heart, not out in front of it.

let go
