Good Morning My Fabulous Ladies...One of my favorite quotes I keep in the back of my journal is: “Don’t punish today because of what happened yesterday.” 🌸 Each new sunrise is a fresh start, a clean page, and a chance to step forward with lighter energy. Yesterday may have brought challenges or heavy feelings, but today doesn’t have to carry that same weight. Give yourself permission to release what no longer serves you and welcome in the peace, joy, and possibility this day has to offer. ✨ Every moment is an opportunity to choose differently, to shift your mindset, and to nurture yourself with love and grace. What is a quote you try to carry with you on a daily basis?

I want to stress how important it is in staying positive. I believe that sometimes life hands us a lot and it can be overwhelming sometimes(wether it is school, work, relationships, family)In those instances, it is the best to speak truths to ourselves or seek others to speak truth over us.

Ladies take a moment wherever you are, find a mirror and say: ‘I am enough and I deserve peace and joy 3x .’ How did that feel? ✨ Don't forget to take steady, slow breaths whenever you feel anxiety or stress rising up. You all are amazing beings and I hope your day brings you some peace. 🫶

Good morning Lovelies, Happy Sunday! Today I wanted to share a thought that was put to me by a YouTube yoga teacher I follow. Her name is Charlie Follows. I highly recommend you checking her out. She is fabulous. Here are her thoughts on “steady wins the race” type of mindset. “Have you ever noticed how much urgency sneaks into the way we approach progress? We tell ourselves:“If I can just get there quicker…”“If I work harder, push more, I’ll be ahead…” It sounds logical. But in my experience, speed rarely delivers the results we think it will. Here’s the part that feels almost backwards:The students who move fastest aren’t the ones who try to rush. They’re the ones who slow down. Let me explain. A while ago, one of my students—let’s call her Emma—was determined to learn handstand in record time. Every practice, she went straight for the full pose: kicking up hard, falling back down, then trying again. Some days she’d spend 30 minutes just repeating the same kick-up, breathless and frustrated, convinced that sheer effort would tip her into balance. At first, she felt progress. Her legs floated a little lighter, she almost held for a second or two. But soon her wrists started aching from the impact, her shoulders carried a constant dull tightness, and her mind turned restless. The joy that had sparked her practice started to slip away. By week four, she wasn’t building confidence anymore - she was second-guessing whether she’d ever get there. Contrast that with another student, Maya, who approached her handstand differently. Instead of chasing the full pose every time, she broke it down into pieces. Some days she’d just practice shifting weight into her hands in downward dog, noticing how her palms gripped the mat. Other days she’d spend a few minutes in a wall-assisted tuck, paying attention to how her core engaged when she drew her knees in. Her sessions were short—five, maybe ten minutes—but deliberate. She gave herself permission to stop before fatigue set in, to let her body absorb the work instead of grinding past the point of focus.
