This. Girl. Is. On. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥She sings loudly to get through those calf raises. Did round 2 with ankle weights and was transported to ballet barre days….phew! Fun! ✨💙✨

Okay- brainy question- working on research specifically related to motivation and where/how it happens in the brain. The aMCC has been linked to trnacity. And of course there are chemical reactions (dopamine) that impact motivation. But there is lots of nuance when we talk about motivation, so: ✨In your (anyone) experience- what helps you stay motivated?

That was the nicest thing I’ve done for myself all weekend! That felt amazing! ☺️ The transitions felt so graceful and the challenge of holding with compassion for my desire to wiggle was a needed challenge to be reminded of and felt really rewarding. ✨❤️✨

Adell Bridges I don’t know why I saw this comment pop up in my notifications since this is an older post, but I recently learned about the anterior mid-singulate cortex and how doing things we don’t want to do or don’t necessarily like to do helps build and bolster this part of our brain that is often associated with perseverance and grit. Amazingly, by doing this, we can reduce cognitive decline as we age. So, fully leaning into the things I don’t particularly like with gusto! ✨❤️✨

Very fun transitions! Aparigraha is maybe the hardest of all for me. It is my life work to let go of perfectionism, so I’m not going to do that again right now to try to do it better - but rather- feel good about being here now, and come back to it another day. ✨❤️✨

This is so beautiful. The waves, the birds, and your guidance. When I read about inner chatter (Dr Ethan Kross) I often think of the voice of Roz from Mosters Inc as my inner negative chatter; and so often hear your voice as my inner cheer-leader. Maybe it’s so long with you in my earbuds practicing and tapping on my mat. This meditation felt like that- like the pep talk I need from time to time from my inner cheer leader. Reminding of what I’m capable of and my own resilience. And oh the waves….so peaceful. Like being rocked…..perhaps my favorite meditation yet. ✨❤️✨

Challenging and wonderful as ever ✨❤️✨

Even wobbly this felt good. Noticing some stuck-ness I. The first MTP joint capsule, so this also felt like a lot on that joint but warming into it felt good. ✨❤️✨

This felt completely different doing it this time now that I’ve done it several times. Embracing and smiling at the wobbles and congratulating my brain for being a complex learning machine! ✨❤️✨

I love this flow. It feels like a hug. ✨❤️✨
