GRATITUDE 🌈 It can be easy to get caught up in what we don’t have, what hasn’t happened yet, what’s not just the way we want it. Future tripping to the point where we’re always striving forward, never soaking it in as we go. What this sunshine (well yesterday’s sunshine & perhaps even today’s gloom) & these flowers have reminded me lately is to pause. And to be grateful to even have such an experience. To be grateful for the moments in between, to be grateful for what I have now that I prayed to have months or years ago, & to be grateful for the things that don’t feel awesome in the moment, but are in fact awesome in the context of living a free life of my choosing. Because, really what is there to be more grateful for than that? 🌻 #gratitude #sunflowers #allthefeels

SUPERFOOD BURCHA PANCAKES 〰️ Burcha wha?? One of my fave new breakfast staples. Super easy, super healthy ingredients. Recipe on the blog at bewellyogalifestyle.com. If you’re on my email list, it was sent to your inbox yesterday! Now let’s see how many more recipes I can make with Burcha 🤔 🍽 #cleaneating #burcha #lonijane

I’ve been called a spartan eater before (@nick_e_nice), which might be true. If I like something I can happily eat it daily for weeks (months?). Newest obsession is this combo for lunch, but would make an awesome breakfast too: @hilaryseatwell veggie burger (any kind, they’re all good), half avocado smashed on top, @littleriverfarmri sprouts from the farmer’s market, @lostartculturedfoods Kraut-Chi also from FM, then a little homemade tahini-lemon-dijon-honey dressing 🤤 additions are endless... fried egg, HB egg, nuts, seeds, more greens, roasted sweet potatoes or other veg, etc 🌱 #farmersmarketfinds #cleaneating #newportri

DIY BEAUTY ➰ Progress report on my Insta Stories for my latest skincare concoctions. Still testing them out step by step, but so far so good. For all my sensitive, dry, eczema-prone peeps, this ones for you 🖤 #diybeauty #naturalbeauty #diyskincare #newportri

Thanks @volvooceanracenewport for helping to kick off Newport summer a month early 🙌🏼 Safe travels boys & girls 🌊 #volvooceanrace #newportri

Lemon, Lavender, Peppermint. 3 of the most popular @doterra oils. And together, these are a specifically powerful combo during this time of year when seasons are changing & pollen is everywhere. Drop of each in your hands, rub them together, & breathe in for some incredibly cleansing & airway opening respiratory support. One of the many many uses for each of these oils 〰️ Want to learn more? Join me for my Free Live Virtual Workshop all about the basics of Essential Oils this Tuesday, May 22. From the comfort of your own home (& maybe even PJs). Details & signup at bit.ly/VirtualEOWorkshopMay ➰ Link in bio or check out my Insta Story for more ✌🏼 #essentialoils #doterra #naturalwellness #newportri

I might not prep every meal of the week (er, ever), but doing a few simple things so lunch is more assembly than actual cooking is super helpful. Or cooking double or triple portions so you don’t get hangry & have good choices on hand is 👌🏼 Also, if I’m going to eat a salad it’s got to have different colors & textures involved. Peep my story for what’s in this one 👀👅 #healthyish #salad #newportri

Only took me, oh I dunno a whole bunch of months, to finally post my Morning Hot Cacao recipe on the blog 🍫➰ If you're on my email list, you received it yesterday to your inbox. You can also find it at bit.ly/BWYLHotCacao ☕️ #hotcacao #morningdrink #newportri

Happy Fridayyy 🍹 VITA-MARGS. Oldie but a goodie. Recipe on my Insta-Stories & blog at bewellyogalifestyle.com ⚡️#friyay #almostcincodemayo #margarita

'Feeling' gets lost in all the 'doing.' I know because it happens to me all the time too.
➰
And without 'feeling' we're find ourselves lost, stressed, just going through the motions.
➰
Having a practice (meditation, oils, yoga, being in nature, silence, etc) gives us the opportunity to stop, breathe, unearth, discover, let settle, & feel... so that when in moments of crazy, we have the awareness to tune back in & re-align more quickly & easily.
➰
This is the practice we will be cultivating together in Tuesday's "Practice You, A Journaling & Meditation Workshop" with @allison.schumann & I at @lululemonnpt.
➰
Please purchase your ticket to reserve your spot ahead of time. Space is limited (& we need to know how many Journals to have available 🤗). Purchase tickets here: bit.ly/PYworkshop1 (link in bio).
❣️
No experience necessary. Ticket options available for both for those who have the Practice You Journal already ($25) & those who need one ($40).

Hallelujah we have sunshine. And hot cacao. And it's Friday. And yoga tonight ✌🏼Join me for Heated Happy Hour Vinyasa Yoga tonight 6-7pm at @thamesstyoga ➰#friyay #groutfit #happyhouryoga #newportri

"This is how I become like water" was the prompt. "Create fluidity by creating space" is what I wrote.
✨
For life, work, anything to feel fluid, for me, there needs to be moments of space, freedom, & silence. I love & am "good at" handling the loud, the quick, the busy, the work, the fun, but when there isn't a counter, I'm drained, & life doesn't flow. It can feel like things are moving against the grain.

Meditation in all of its many forms, journaling, yoga, exercise, my oils, sipping cacao, burning some sage or palo santo... are all practices that offer this experience of creating space which is so needed. Even more so with the option to just scroll your phone instead of pause to take a breath.

Anyone feel me on this? What makes you feel like water? What practices do you use to create space? ✨Explore these possibilities at my next workshop May 1 with @allison.schumann at @lululemonnpt: CULTIVATING YOUR PRACTICE with @practice.you, meditations, a sprinkling of essential oils & a take home crystal. Really looking forward to this group experience. Sign up at bit.ly/PYworkshop1 ❣️(link in bio)
