This month at Inspire Yoga


-- Finding the Juice --

Looking around for your  l ost motivation? Not much  excitement for 
a future of chores and obligations? 

I f you're feeling a little flat about life, 
j oin me next Thursday, September 17th at 12:15pm or 7:15pm  
at Inspire Yoga Studio in Highland Village for this LifeInspired group coaching session.

We'll reconnect with the *sparkly*good*stuff* 
that keeps us going - fun, joy, 
pleasure, even some peace. 

-- Yes, you can have some! -- 

This 45-minute group session is 
open to the public. And you don't 
have to talk! Just come prepared 
to think and take some private 
notes for yourself. 
  
Bring a friend and join us!

If you are trying to get happy and aren't particularly interested in losing weight, please try making Carolyn's Breakfast Cookies this weekend. Every morning they'll be there, all delicious and perfect, waiting for you to smear some peanut butter on one and take it (plus a cup of hot coffee) along with you into the day. 

If you are a die-hard nutritionist, butter-and-gluten-hater, or generally ill-tempered, please try something else and let me know what worked out? ;)

Lock & Load
 
I don't expect sad things to happen, but they do, all the time. Awful ones, and to good people. Car wrecks, grave illnesses, crushing betrayals, unexpectedly terrible grades, financial upheavals - and usually in just the wrong, heart-stopping moment. 

How do we protect ourselves from the emotional fallout of a hardship? What can we do NOW to prepare for these upsets, or (heavy sigh) for the glassy-eyed, brain-fried detachment that comes with week after week of work stress, family responsibilities (...if I have to fill out one more *&%$@ school form...) and the boredom of chores, chores, chores? 

When bad or aggravating things happen to me, I want to crawl in a hole, a private and insulated nest with no talking, certainly no explanations, no one searching my face for the reasons why or nagging for next steps. I guess that's fine for a little while, but it can become a dark place of silent invisibility. Not good for anyone. 

So, like preppers hoarding supplies for Armageddon - we need to GET OURSELVES READY. You and I need to know for certain, ahead of time, what has the best chance of helping us rise out of the scorching bleakness that inevitably roars through. 

Of course, we're all different. What lifts me out of a funk might bore you to tears (time alone with a wise friend, holding a baby, frilly pink peonies, the thrill ride of a Stephen King novel, my mom's breakfast cookies - see above). And if skydiving, extreme roller coasters or trapeze artistry is your bag, well my friend, you have fun with that. :) 

This month, in my free group coaching session at Inspire Yoga (see sidebar), our focus will be finding the juice (the emotional resilience) necessary to recover from hardship and heartache. Because for climbing out of that dark and lonely hole, knowing ourselves - what we love and what we need - is mission-critical. 

Join us and you'll do some thinking, make private lists and plans, and have a really good time, besides.  I'd love to see you there! Come on out.
