Help me fine tune this month's ritual :)
Hey lovelies, I'd love to get your input for this month's ritual/practice. I've been wanting to make things lighter + more playful, and based on this thread, skin care would be something fun and different for us to explore. I also went down a little Ayurveda rabbit hole and learned that the term "sneha" holds two meanings: oil and love/affection (which explains the use of oil for so many self-care practices in Ayurveda). Anyway, I'm curious which topics or practices you all would like us to explore. Not just this month but looking ahead too. Feel free to suggest other things in the comments!

@Tee Elle I agree the body knows. I spoke to this concept a little bit in the video I just posted for today's group call. I'm starting to think when we talk about somatic practices, skin care is/should be part of it. It's just that marketing and advertising have hijacked our brains and our perception of what it means to care for the physical body. But many of the ancient traditions don't see the physical care as just something we do for vanity. They understand that it's all one (I mean, that's why the term mind-body connection exists...one affects the other).

Your skin is your largest organ
What are you feeding it? -------------------- Something I would love for us to get into in this group is skincare. Not the 39-step layering routine. But what skin care represents for you. Because for me, I see it as an important and integral part of caring for ourselves. And I want to share the picture below with you all because these two products represent "food for the skin." We often talk about eating for the skin in terms of the literal food we eat. But there's a whole other category that I think is equally valuable: face oils. Depending on which one you use, your skin is getting nutrients like: - beta carotene - vitamin E - omega fatty acids (3, 6, 9 and the lesser known, 7) Personally, I love oils because they contain nutrients and they are multi-taskers for someone like me who believes in taking exquisite care of this massive organ (but who doesn't believe it should require hours or tons of products). And the extra perk is I'm reducing the chemicals I'm exposed to every day (important for that skin microbiome that protects us in so many ways). šŸ‘‰ How do you approach skin care: do you see it as separate from other forms of care? Do you have any guiding principles for skin care? P.S. the small bottle on the left is sea buckthorn seed oil.

@Tee Elle I can't say enough good things about reading books on paper. I never got into reading on a Kindle and I find that reading a regular book is so relaxing. Maybe it's just because that's what I grew up with. I went through a whole thing last year where I was trying to remember a time in life when things were simple. And naturally, I landed on childhood. I was reading books, I only had one local station (and a shortwave radio where I spent what felt like hours fiddling with the antenna so I could pick up the BBC International broadcast!). I would listen to music with skipping (mostly). Now I have Spotify and I can hop from artist to artist, which means I don't have that continuity anymore. I was listening to BBC radio plays (again, growing up in 1980s West Africa and options were limited). So, now I try to replicate the BBC radio play by listening to podcasts rather than watching them. There was something fun about not knowing the faces and gestures of the people on the radio. Now I know ever podcaster to well!. I'm literally trying to recreate 1980s Cameroon in 2026 šŸ˜…

@Tee Elle This is the tricky one and I can't speak for everyone because we all have different responsibilities... But I've realized that the hard part of all this is just letting those around us know that we're only going to be giving/doing so much. Some will be disappointed, upset, etc. and others won't. Setting boundaries is hard and I had to do that recently with family. It was the hardest thing I've ever done. But I needed to build that muscle, which is probably why life threw me into a situation where I finally had to do it (and it's always hardest with family). I was scared but didn't die, so now my brain and body know we can do it. Overall, I find that once we become uncompromising about taking care of ourselves and let those around us know, things don't fall apart (because it's not like we're abandoning them. We're just creating more balance and it actually benefits everyone).

Day 5: What would make this even better?
Today is our last "formal" day of the kickstart (tomorrow and Sunday, you get to freestyle and revisit any of the movement videos that you liked from previous lessons). Before we slide into the weekend, I'd love to know: If I ran this sleep kickstart again, what would make it even better for you? - šŸµ A daily moment of calm - šŸƒā€ā™€ļø Moving my body gently - šŸ“µ Less screen time at night - 🌿 Trusting simple over complicated

@Michelle Tubman thank you for the feedback. It's always a delicate balance of finding ways for everyone to get benefit without piling on all the things at once.
