23.01.2022 As I lie in bed feeling the effects of a big week of minimal rest. My nervous system a little active and my mind a little busy. I am reminded of an experience many years ago. I was working in an acute medical ward as a young nurse, looking after a women who had a severe respiratory illness. She was unable to walk more than a few steps without gasping for air and was on oxygen to help maintain her oxygen levels. Every time I came into her room she was on the phone speaking in ...half sentences with colleagues and essentially continuing to work from her very unwell hospital bed. I remember every phone call I saw her take was followed by an intervention of more oxygen and nebulisers. As a naive young women who couldn’t stand the sight of anyone else suffering I sat by her side, held her hand and shared my concern. I recall saying something along the lines of your work can wait. I know right now it feels important and I am sure it is. But your health is the most valuable gift you have. You must cherish it with your life.. because it is your life. Without it you don’t have a job to tend to. It’s evident you can’t breathe when you’re on the phone and I know it may feel like the world will fall apart if you take a moment to pause but I promise you it will all be there when your feeling better. At the time I thought it was well received until I later was called into my managers office to say I had greatly offended this lady and in her words made her feel like she wasn’t important. I remember in that moment a deep sadness as I could so clearly see the havoc she was causing for herself but was not open or willing to see it at the time. I promised myself I would never let myself fall into the trap of selling myself short and compromising my health for anything. This really just serves as a reminder for me today that my full inbox can wait, the to do list isn’t really that important for now, I am worthy of rest and inner peace and to remember the art of surrender again and again. Here’s to a long weekend of less screens, more nature, quality time with those I adore most and deep listening to the wisdom and intelligence of my body.

22.01.2022 ‘Hey babe how’s your nervous system?’ I am so blessed to be surrounded by so many like minded women who genuinely care about my health and well-being, who listen and hold space for me and give me their full and undivided attention. Yesterday at lunch with my divine sister @elleananditherapies she asked me how my nervous system was feeling. We talked about loads of things that lunch from wedding planning, yoga, careers to the epic men in our life, but this question stuck with... me long after we left. Later that evening my other beautiful friend @sallyjanedouglas took me out on a dinner date, we laughed, we danced, we talked for hours and I felt completely seen by her as she stared deeply into my eyes with a warm presence, smile and genuinely asked ‘how are you?’. Not the superficial every day question we often get asked, but with body language and a tone in her voice to say ‘ you can fully surrender now, I accept you exactly as you are’. Life has been pretty full these past few weeks as I navigate my new life as a business owner. Every time I slow down I hear the words softly whispered by my heart ‘more joy, more pleasure, quality time’. I had been feeling pretty exhausted and most days this week have woken up tired despite 8 hours of sleep. This morning I rose with the sun, full of energy and vitality and a deep knowing that quality time with my sisters was all I needed. Ayurveda says that our Ojas (vitality and vibrancy) is not only depend on the foods we eat but also the company we keep. Our lifestyle will either leave us depleted or inspired and full of life. I am hosting a women’s circle this afternoon @morninglightyogapilates with my other incredible sister Corinne from @wildrose_ayurveda we welcome all women, of all walks of life to join us as we open a safe space for you to be seen, heard and replenished

22.01.2022 I won’t put on a brave face, deny my humanness and pretend I haven’t felt deep grief, fear and challenge these past few weeks. I’ve ugly cried, attended a pitty party for one, witnessed my shadow lurk out of the darkness, said hello to my inner child and felt like there was no way I could get through this. I’ve also felt immense joy, gratitude, love and a deep sense of inner peace that has not been experienced in a long time. I am reminded that with any great struggle that jo...y is not only a choice but our birthright. I’ve felt calm and chaotic, strong and weak all within moments of each other. I feel collectively we are being presented an opportunity to look deep within, to reassess our way of living, our values and what truly matters. We are being forced to slow down and tune into nature and her rhythms and to learn to trust. Feel the expansion and the contraction, give yourself permission to ride each wave of emotion. Some days will feel good, others will feel messy. When a mother gives birth to her baby it’s the duality of expansion and contraction that allows the baby to pass through the birth canal. Right now human existence sits within this birth canal. If we use birth as an example it’s messy, it’s primal, it’s raw. Hold yourself and be with your entire existence. Within any great change resistance will always rise. I feel a rebirth surging, can you feel it too? . . Swipe across for the polarity of emotions @ Sunshine Coast, Queensland

21.01.2022 HAPPY BIRTHDAY to this handsome human! @paulnichols.now you are the most kindhearted, selfless man that I am so blessed to know. You make everyday a celebration and never cease to remind me of the gift of life it’s self. You have the ability to turn any dull moment into something bright, make me laugh, feel safe and supported and make me so frigging proud to be your fiancé.... It is such a privilege to witness you bloom every year more and more right before my eyes. I can never truly match the gift that you are in my life but I certainly will give it my best! Happy birthday my love, may you know today and every other day of this lifetime how much I love and adore you. I promise to make today as special as you!

21.01.2022 My heart explodes everyday knowing that I get to wake up and share what I love with such epic people! Thank you so much to the epic team at @lululemonausnz for inviting me to share my passion with so many incredible humans this morning. I feel so honoured to have held that space and so grateful to be apart of such an incredible community of likeminded souls doing some epic stuff here on the Sunshine Coast. This year has been huge and transformational to say the least. I’ve b...een presented some amazing opportunities that seemed so out of reach to me in the past and along the way made so many meaningful and soulful connections. Growth is super uncomfortable at times, it pushes us to evolve sooner than we may feel ready. It pushes you to the edge every single time and it reminds us at the end that we didn’t need to become anything more, rather remember we are already exactly where we are supposed to be!

21.01.2022 The slightest change in the quality of your actions, attitude or timing can make all of the difference as to whether you will be in the right place at the right time to fulfill the destiny you seek. So thankful to this man who supports me in more ways than I can even comprehend. He is constantly reminding me of my value and worth and inspiring me to take actions that continue to lead to incredible, beautiful and wonderful things. Without his loving and at time stern words of ...encouragement and support there is no chance I would have started our business when I did. Yesterday we celebrated with our incredible team @morninglightyogapilates out on the beautiful ocean. I am so grateful to have this man cheering me on and pushing me out of my comfort zone so I could attract this awesome community of kindred spirits to share on the journey with me

21.01.2022 We’re back baby and my gosh does it feel like medicine for my soul! It sure has been a turbulent time having to close the doors for almost 3 months to my business baby @morninglightyogapilates and I have been riding the waves as they come and go. There truly is no better feeling than following the calling in your heart and sharing with the world what lights you up. It takes courage, determination and deep passion to follow your heart and take the steps necessary to ensure t...hat nothing, not even a world pandemic will stop you from living out your dreams. But throughout all of the highs and lows I promise you it will be worth it! My eyes swelled with tears of gratitude when the incredible @mearsproduction sent me this yesterday. I was reminded of how much joy it brings me to share these practices and of how far I have come both personally and professionally. I truly believe that Yoga and Pilates give us the opportunity to heal, to be apart of a community and to experience the full and richness of this life, simply by learning to expand your lungs, then maybe your mind and who knows maybe even your heart. I can’t say for sure where I would be without them but I do sense my life would have been extremely different had I not been guided to start my journey 8 years ago. I am so thankful to our beloved community that were cheering us on, supporting us throughout and showing up on their mats throughout this whole experience. I don’t believe I could ever truly express into words how much your support means. Welcome Home

20.01.2022 Forever a student, forever growing, forever open to evolve on this yogic path So much gratitude to my beautiful teacher @michelle__cassidy for sharing her sincere and genuine heart and wealth of wisdom with us over the weekend during her meditation and pranayama course. I truly feel so blessed to have found a teacher that is a true embodiment of what she teaches, shares from such an authentic and real space and holds the mirror up for all to see their inner light, truth an...d essence. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that walking into essence of living 7 years ago to do a barre class in seek of the perfect bum, would I discover something so much deeper... my inner self. Michelle I can’t express into words the immense gratitude I have for you but I know you feel it in your heart. You have helped pave the path for the women I am today, gave me the confidence to follow your foot steps and open my own studio and inspire me daily to rise and show up for myself and my students in a real and authentic way. The icing on the cake having the man of my dreams join me and walk beside me my heart is overflowing!

19.01.2022 Happiness is our very nature, bliss is our birthright. Every thought we have becomes the world we live in. Every word we speak the language of our heart. Right now my heart says THANK YOU! I’ve had an intense feeling of gratitude in my heart this week. I’ve lost count of the amount of times I’ve felt tears of joy well in my eyes as my heart explodes with happiness and pure appreciation for how frigging incredible my husband is, this beautiful land that we are so blessed to ca...ll home and the incredible support of my soul sisters and our amazing team at Morning Light. We are coming to the final days of our honeymoon and have had such an incredible time and have been in absolute awe of this beautiful country that we live in. I was abruptly brought back to reality this afternoon after our new neighbours checked into their 5 star beautiful rainforest bungalow in the heart of Australia’s Daintree Rainforest and realised that not everyone has the same reality. There was a lot of yelling, swearing and tears as this lady was expecting to have a bath in her room and in her own words ‘what a waste of our life to come here, we literally flew here for nothing. I just want to go home and get a refund’. I hold compassion for this women as once upon a time I was ruled by my expectations and attachments to ideals. So what’s changed? Many things, but the one thing I do know for sure is a consistent gratitude practice has the capacity to profoundly shift your state for good. Becoming aware of our inner dialogue is our opportunity to not only notice when we perhaps have steered away from our true state of happiness and joy but also create intentional positive neural pathways within so we can reside more in our true nature. What are you grateful for today I’d love to know

19.01.2022 Be gentle with yourself. This time of year is often met with some level of intensity in normal circumstances. Let alone after the year that has been. After witnessing my own energy, the energy of my clients and the many conversations I have had with loved ones we are collectively exhausted. Hold compassion for yourself for the fatigue that sits within your heart that is aching for the world to stop hurting, to be able to reconnect with one another after months of isolation, f...ear, uncertainty and unknown. Even if you feel like you haven’t been directly impacted we are energetic beings with the capacity to absorb the energy of the collective. There has been a density in the air and for many it has felt heavy and hard to carry. Make your self care rituals your highest priority, be kind and forgiving to others who may be struggling. Release your expectations on yourself and those around you to show up in a certain way. Find space for introspection and reflection. Now more than ever we need to identify our needs and have the courage the be the guardians of our own hearts. Set all of the boundaries you need. Learn to say no to the things that won’t serve you and be ok with others doing the same to you. After so much collective grief and trauma this year loosen your grip on all of the ‘shoulds’, take your time to process, digest and assimilate and be kind and compassionate to yourself and others. Check in with your loved ones especially those who are isolated. Here are some of my daily self care practices that have been keeping my energy balanced if you need some inspiration or even someone to speak with please reach out my heart is always open to hold space for you. Meditation Gentle yoga practice which often doesn’t look a thing like yoga more like rolling around on the floor. High quality home made meals prepared with love and intention to nourish Reading books that bring me joy Breast massage Essential oils around the house Quality time with @paulnichols.now Taking herbal support from @ithrivenutrition especially their B active and adrenal support range. Use code kayla15 if you need an amazing product to support your nervous system.

18.01.2022 Cure yourself with the light of the sun and the rays of the moon. With the sound of the river and the waterfall. With the swaying of the sea and the fluttering of birds. Heal yourself with mint, with neem and eucalyptus. Sweeten yourself with lavender, rosemary, and chamomile.... Hug yourself with the cocoa bean and a touch of cinnamon. Put love in tea instead of sugar, and take it looking at the stars. Heal yourself with the kisses that the wind gives you and the hugs of the rain. Get strong with bare feet on the ground and with everything that is born from it. Get smarter every day by listening to your intuition, looking at the world with the eye of your forehead. Jump, dance, sing, so that you live happier. Heal yourself, with beautiful love, and always remember...you are the medicine. Advice from Maria Sabina, Mexican curandera (medicine woman) and poet.

17.01.2022 Be fearless in pursuit of what sets your heart on fire As I was lying in savasana receiving from the divine @elle in the incredible space that I co created with my love I was humbled to back to my roots. Just shy of 18 months ago I was working as a nurse and teaching across multiple studios on the coast. I experienced an inner conflict daily as I would battle myself knowing that I was put on earth to do more.... I had a fire within me to create my own business and to bring an awesome community of kindred spirits together. A space where people felt seen and heard. A place to call home. I couldn’t imagine going back to the life I lived and I certainly couldn’t imagine that following your heart would feel so damn good! I was met with so much resistance and fear as I leapt into uncertainty and met many upper limit blocks to get to where I am I am now. Yet with each moment of resistance I remind myself how truly capable and deserving I am to live an abundant joyful life sharing with the world what I love. If you find yourself standing on a rocky edge ensure of what you future holds yet know you are ready to step into your greatness can you surrender and lean into the unknown? Can you trust that you are so incredibly supported and capable? Can you be gentle with yourself as you maybe even fumble and fall yet dust yourself off and begin again? What if for a moment in time you believed you were worthy of your dreams? I believe in you, do you?

16.01.2022 Someone gave me feedback recently about the way I teach. ‘I can feel you smiling the whole time in the way you speak, even when I’m not looking at you’. The truth is though I really do! I care so deeply about the sacredness of holding space for people to tune into their body, quite down their mind and find a deeper sense of intimacy within themselves.... It brings me so much joy to share what has undeniably changed my life in more ways than words could express and I am so grateful and privileged for one to actually know what my purpose is, and for two to actually have the courage to follow it. Something I promise you I don’t take for granted. I actually felt pretty intimidated when @lululemonausnz asked me to teach at their event for influencers in our local community. I felt myself contract momentarily and then decided to lean into expansion instead. So here I am, smiling my little heart out, doing what brings me so much joy with some really epic people and realising what a big goofy dork I am! Thank you to @lululemonausnz for hosting such a beautiful morning with some really beautiful people! I am really looking forward to more magic and expansion in 2020. More community, more connection and more collaboration. When we come together as a community, divide the separation and allow space for everyone to shine that’s where the MAGIC happens. @ Sunshine Coast, Queensland

16.01.2022 What does nourishment mean to you? In order to feel fully nourished I feel it’s important to look at the way we view health through many different lenses and adjust our daily practices to suit our needs on a daily basis. I keep one thing in mind when moving throughout my day and that is ensuring I feel deeply nourished.... Deeply nourished within my relationships. Deeply nourished by nature. Deeply nourished by my food choices. Some days I do yoga and Pilates, others I meditate, sometimes it’s a combination of all three. Some day days I go for a walk on the beach and others I ride my bike. Lately I hear sweet little whispers from my soul guiding me to rest and do nothing at all. I laugh because my version of doing nothing is quite the opposite of that. Rest is something I am still learning to lean into. One thing I am consistent with is taking herbal support to soothe my nervous system and rebuild my depleted body after a life time of pushing myself beyond my edge. I have been taking Ashwaganda and Shatavari for over 18 months now and following basic Ayurvedic principles and am so incredibly grateful for this wisdom and the extra support these herbs provide me. To me these herbs are the holy grail of nourishment from the inside out. Our health and vitality doesn’t just happen from that one thing we do and it certainly doesn’t change over night. We must look at our health as a combination of all of our daily habits and rituals. I have recently found an Australian company @naturessunshine_au that is really awesome and has an amazing range of herbal products to support you along side your daily rituals. They have kindly offered me a discount for 20% off their products. Use code: kayla20 which is valid until May 15th! . . . @desertrose_studio

15.01.2022 The most healing yoga practice I have ever experienced is entering into relationship with this man. I remember a teacher sharing a story of a monk who had spent his entire lifetime in a monastery seeking to obtain enlightenment. He said to his guru I think I am finally ready to be free from suffering and reincarnate as an enlightened being, his guru agreed. His next lifetime began and he was born into a household as a husband with two children, the true test to how far alon...g our journey we are. I truly believe our relationships are here to help us heal and to help us to grow. We are all mirrors for one another. I learn far more about myself doing everyday life with this human than on my yoga mat. With a tradition largely focused on personal healing and transformative growth, so many of my most transformational moments came with another person attached. When it comes to healing, how important are relationships on the spiritual path? To me I think invaluable... We are wired for connection. Are we perfect? God no! But we show up everyday with a commitment to love one another unconditionally, hold space for each other to be ourselves, shine the light on our shadow and celebrate the immense amount of light and beauty that exists within. Only 8 months until we tie the knot and officially join together in union

15.01.2022 Join me and the beautiful Corinne Beinke for an afternoon of connection

15.01.2022 Walking this lifetime beside you is the greatest gift I could ever receive

13.01.2022 I hope we don’t ever get it just right so each life time we have we can can find one another again and again and continue to learn and grow through this beautiful magical thing called love

13.01.2022 Ayurvedic wisdom invites us to look at our relationship with food in a different lense to what we are familiar with in the west. My teacher @katiesilcox_shaktischool once said our relationship with food is our relationship with god, source, the divine whatever you want to call it. Engaging our senses by really experiencing the tastes, textures, smell, sight, cultivating community, eating mindfully with pure presence, chewing until our food turns to liquid gold to nourish us f...rom within and honouring the wisdom of our body by listening to the cues of when to stop indulging. My divine sister @sallyjanedouglas put together the most incredible event recently ‘The Pleasure State Experience’ where we sat together as a group of incredible women, laughed, danced, ate with pure presence and joy, engaged all 5 senses and what a beautiful example of how the way we nourish our bodies truly is our connection to the divine. Something shifted within me from this evening. I feel more inspired to fuel my incredible body with loving foods, to surround myself with more inspiring incredible women and most importantly when I am fueling my body with nourishing foods that are created with love, presence and awareness this becomes apart of me. I am then able to serve from that higher frequency of loving vibration and have the Prana to head out into the world and share my dharma. Thank you my sweet friend @sallyjanedouglas for the incredible light you constantly bring to my life

11.01.2022 Yes and.... my lesson from 2020. The year that shook up everything for everyone in some way shape or form. The year that was filled with so much personal challenges in every aspect of life, yet still brought such immense beauty, love and inner harmony like never before. The year that cracked me wide open so more light can flood in. Something I really leant into over the past year was the words yes and...... Yes at times I felt scared, exhausted and overwhelmed AND In that same moment I also felt calm, at peace and joyful with deep gratitude in my heart. Yes I felt grief, loss, deep sorrow and pain in my heart for things close to me and for the suffering and trauma of the collective AND I also felt deep love, gratitude and pleasure. I found spaciousness and ease in the stillness that was forced upon us. Yes I worked the hardest I ever have and showed up to the best of my ability for my community, friends and family and at times questioned if I had it in me AND I found strength, courage and determination to show up and be of service and experienced an incredible amount of abundance, opportunities, love and connection like I have never found before. 2020 has been labeled by many as a write off, but don’t discredit all that you have been through that has led you to this moment right here. Stronger, wiser and with more compassion in your awakened mind and heart. We can’t always see it when we are in the thick of it but what if the challenges you experience in this life time are perfectly designed to awaken you to your highest potential? What if these lessons are shaping you into who you were born to be? What if we can find space to be with all that is here in each moment of this beautiful gift of life whilst embracing the shadow and the light? What were your yes and moments for 2020?

11.01.2022 The face of a human doing what she loves, with whom she loves

11.01.2022 I have been reflecting a lot on this whole idea of giving gifts and consumption. This year @paulnichols.now and I made the conscious decision that we don’t actually need anything, because we already have it all. We have each other, we have love, health and are living a life on purpose. Seriously what more do we need?... We decided instead of giving each other something because it’s ‘what people do’ instead we will invest in some time away next year and enjoy each other’s presence as I truly do believe that’s the best gift we could possibly have (My love language is quality time after all). I’ve read it time and time again in books and heard the words spoken from many influential people who I admire... something along the lines of ‘when we feel full from within, we won’t need to seek validation from the external’. Part of that always resonated with me, however there was always some level of resistance and desire to want more than what I already had. As the decade nears an end and I reflect on where I have come from to where I am now, I feel an abundance of gratitude for the blessings in my life and the innate knowing that nothing external can match the feeling of a full and grateful heart. Merry Christmas beautiful people may all beings everywhere be happy and free

11.01.2022 In the midst of what feels like chaos, uncertainty and unknown. I am reminded of the beauty that co exists in the simplest of things. What if the words we spoke today shifted from what feels awful and wrong to what feels tender, loving and right? Dear one take a moment to pause, place a hand on your heart and be with your heart beat. Remember all of the incredible gifts on offer from this beautiful world that make you feel whole, nourished and alive.... You are a universe in ecstatic motion... does it get anymore beautiful then that? The worlds we speak are like offerings to this earth... what prayer are you speaking today? So my dear one what is beautiful in your life today? For me it’s the warm embrace from my man and the safety that I feel in his presence, my dog and her adorable little blue jumper, warm coffee made just right, the smell of oils diffusing in my home that is freshly cleaned, sitting in awe of the books on my shelf and admiring the wisdom that each one holds, the way the sun is warm yet the wind cool and crisp, the warmth of my fluffy blanket that softly drapes over my thighs and the expansion of my lungs as I remember it’s ok, you’re safe you can rest here. There is so much sweetness on offer today, will you take a moment to notice it?

08.01.2022 The universe has a funny way of constantly guiding you. I had been enrolled in a Tantra Teacher training since February and was really looking forward to it, however feeling at my capacity and like I had probably taken on too much. I had said to Paul maybe I should see if I can cancel it only days before, but decided to just go ahead with it. It would have meant being away from my studio for 9 days which was truthfully causing me a bit of distress and as Paul... and I were packing up our bags after a weekend away and preparing to part ways for the week I got the call that it has been canceled. Of course I was disappointed to hear it was no longer on as I truly did want to go but I couldn’t help but take a big sigh of relief and trusted that the universe knew exactly what I needed. Life will constantly flux and change and often times beyond the measure of our control. We can however choose how we respond when our plans don’t quite work out. I thank my Yoga practice for constantly guiding me and allowing me to look deeper. Previously I lived in a reactive state where I caused myself an incredible amount of suffering. I held onto things tightly and was unable to be flexible and adaptable to my circumstances. This week I am surrendering into the unknown and thankful to be happy, healthy and following my hearts calling.

08.01.2022 We spend so much time caring for others, we can often be left at the bottom of our own priorities list. I am incredibly excited to announce that I have joined arms with @ithrivenutrition as an ambassador for their beautiful holistic range of herbal nutritional support products. Because let’s be honest we could all do with a little extra support right now and putting ourself at the top of our priority list! If I am honest I have neglected myself a fair bit lately. I have found... myself so focused on my business, the wedding, family needs, my sick doggie and everything else that this modern life asks of us. This year has been huge for all of us and I am certain I’m not the only one that feels exhausted and depleted. When I first came in contact with this heart based Australian company it was at a time when I needed extra support to balance the intensity of life.

06.01.2022 When was the last time you checked in with your heart and asked yourself.... What do I really need right now? Our modern life seems to be getting busier and busier, which in result creates busier minds.... When the mind is full of chatter, can you find space to pause, breathe and check in? Sometimes we need to slow down, other times we need to get moving, sometimes we need something in between. Something I am learning to love lately is the ability to be neutral. Embracing that I don’t need to do or be anything other than whatever I feel right in that moment. Something I previously would have labeled as boredom, I now embrace it as just simply being. What do you need today?

04.01.2022 I’m scared... I’m scared that when we are able to go back to ‘normal’ living I’ll forget how much my soul felt so rejuvenated and at peace whilst I spent most of my days at home working on projects, reading and tending to my self care. I’m scared that I’ll get caught up in doing again and forget how much my digestion and nervous system adored that I had finally listened to the whispers to slow down and pay attention.... I’m scared that I’ll forget that food is to be enjoyed bite by bite and that home cooked meals make me feel so incredibly nourished and whole. I’m scared that my daily walks and time out in nature will become something I wish I had time for not something I made time for. But then I remember I am in charge of the life I create and how could I forget this gift of being present and experiencing the fullness of living here in this moment. I am so deeply grateful for this opportunity to have had some deep introspection and reflection. This experience has revealed to me on so many layers how broken the system that we all strive to be apart truly is. Thank you for gifting me the ability to fall apart so I could rebuild my foundations and return with more strength, resilience, courage, love, more aligned with my integrity and inner authority than ever before. Kayla 2.0 thanks to the beautiful @kimberleybree_ for my new do!

01.01.2022 Is this excitement or anxiety? A question I ask myself regularly of late. With so many opportunities, events and growth pulling me in all directions. A change of season, a new month and some big energy from the moon, my solar plexus has been in a constant state of expansion and contraction these past 7 days.... I witness myself going off on creative hikes in my mind, getting lost in the jungle of thought and battling my way out the other side exhausted. With so many Ideas of what I would love to create and implement in my business, to be more of service, to give more value, to love on our clients even more. Is this excitement or anxiety? Coming into the final month of my Ayurvedic course for this year and feeling inspired to start a whole new business supporting women in becoming the most vibrant versions of themselves inside and out. Ideas taking over my brain of workshops, retreats, programs. Is this excitement or anxiety? Planning my dream wedding with my dream man next year. The to do list grows, there are decisions to be made, guest lists to curate and a whole lot of fun/ overwhelm along the way. Is this excitement or anxiety? Anxiety and excitement are two very similar energies. Without grounding all of these dreams and ideas they become stuck in the mind and what is exciting can suddenly feel like overwhelming anxiety. This week I dance constantly with joy, excitement, bliss, exhaustion, overwhelm, happiness and all of the other emotions in between. Being a tantric yogi I welcome all of these parts of me with loving open arms. I used to push emotion down as if it was taboo to FEEL. Man I can’t even imagine living my life like that nowadays. Some simple tools I use to ground what might feel like anxiety but is potentially a big heart explosion of ungrounded excitement Time in nature Quality time with Paul Touch Yoga Nidra Mind mapping everything on paper and picking 3 of the most important things to do Yoga and Pilates Reading Self Massage or getting one Running a bath Essential oils Girlfriend time Warm & nourishing foods Remembering that I am enough
