Have you ever noticed your mind rehearsing a whole conversation that isn’t actually happening? This practice was shared with me by my beloved yoga teacher and mentor, Laura, during my yoga teacher training. She talked about our stories — the narratives we carry about who we are (wife, mom, daughter, employee, boss, etc.) — and how they quietly run in the background of our minds. It’s one of my favorite ways to come back to my body and my breath when my mind starts racing ahead. So today’s micro-habit is about interrupting the imaginary conversation. You might notice it when you’re mentally rehearsing and hear yourself: - explaining yourself - defending a choice - bracing for someone’s reaction When you catch yourself doing that, gently say to yourself: “This is an imaginary conversation." “This isn’t happening in the here and now.” That’s it. No fixing. No arguing with your thoughts. Just a soft reminder that you’re here, now — not in a future moment that hasn’t happened yet. Try it a few times this week and notice how it feels to return to the present. 🌿

Hey friends — there wasn’t a Day 3 post yesterday, and that was on purpose. (ish) I had a really full workday and by the time evening rolled around, my nervous system was DONE. So instead of forcing myself to show up online, I did something very reparenting-coded: I ate a simple dinner (cold tofu for the win 🥘), watched some cozy tarot on the YouTube ('Tea & Tarot w. Julie Poole' - who's your favorite?), and went to bed early. No chores. No productivity. No pushing. And that… was the micro-habit. A lot of us learned that we only get to rest after everything is done. But part of reparenting is letting ourselves stop when we’re tired, not when we’re “finished.” So today’s micro-habit is simple: If you were exhausted yesterday, let that be okay. If you need to move slowly today, let that be okay too. You didn’t fall behind. Nothing broke. You're still here. 👍 = rested or needed to Emoji / GIF = current energy We’re back to gentle, tiny practices today. 🌱
