Proof of life.

I’m starting day five of my 10-day training retreat on EFT tapping near Austin, so I want to keep this brief so I can get off of technology and focus on ME.

That’s hard to say: to focus on ME.

To RECEIVE and not only give.

To open up. To explore the cracks and crevices deep within me.

I personally think this is something everyone should do at some point in their lives. In my opinion and my lived experience, your hour-long yoga class and therapy sessions that happen intermittently aren’t enough. They’re a proverbial scratch on the surface of what you need to uncover.

If that ruffled you up, that’s a sign that it struck something for you. Does it mean you need to attend a retreat? No. But be open to exploring yourself outside of the context of your life.

Love you, mean it.💜✨

You took a day off. Yay, good for you!

But you also did laundry (and actually folded it), ran several errands, answered a few emails, scrolled your phone endlessly, mentally planned for next week, and somehow ended the day MORE exhausted than when you started. 😂

BLOOP!

Your rest days might not be working because you’re still asking yourself to DO ALL THE THINGS when you should also be trying to actually rest and recover.

In this week’s episode of Making Shift Happen, we’re talking about:
✨ Why doing less doesn’t always mean you’re recovering
✨ How your nervous system responds to constant demands
✨ Simple ways to make your downtime ACTUALLY restorative
✨ A breathing tool you can try in just a few minutes a day
✨ Why rest doesn’t need to become another thing to optimize

And I want to remind you that Rest isn’t a reward for finishing your to-do list (which will never get finished). 😉

🎧 Listen to episode 273 wherever you get your podcasts.

I gotta know: when was the last time you had a day off that actually felt like a day off? 👀

Sometimes we forget what we were like when we started… Don’t forget!

Reflect on and remind yourself of the beginning, celebrate every win and every bit of progress, and you’ll go far. 📈

Inaction is often worse than SOME sort of action.

So, instead of freezing because you’re overwhelmed… start with the SIMPLEST and EASIEST action.

👉Maybe that’s 15 minutes of an hour-long workout.

👉Maybe that’s a minute of meditation instead of feeling like you “should” do the full 20 minutes. (YES, coming from someone who’s done meditation for over 30 f*cking years, one minute still counts - don’t let some “guru” tell you otherwise. 🙄)

👉Maybe you read one page instead of 10 pages before bed.

I am shouting this from my heart: WHY ARE YOU TRYING TO MAKE THINGS MORE COMPLICATED FOR YOURSELF WHEN YOU ACTUALLY NEED THINGS TO BE SIMPLE?! 📣

Give yourself some grace here. You’re working, trying to be healthy, balancing life, and then also socialize on top of everything. Do what you can in the time that you have.

Give yourself permission to do the smallest part of a habit. ✅

Do your legs ever feel heavy or tired on the bike or on a run after a strength session?

Yeah, they’re supposed to… you just worked them out! 😉😂

When your legs feel heavy or tired when you hop on the bike or head out for a run after a strength training session, DO NOT PANIC.🙅‍♀️

it is important to remind yourself that tired legs from training does NOT mean that your legs won’t perform on the bike or your run! We often let that mindset impact us on the bike or run when we’re warming up and our legs feel heavy or tired.

THIS IS WHAT TO DO INSTEAD:
1️⃣ If you flip the script and say that your legs feel strong and capable, you’d be surprised at what you can do with that mindset on the bike and run!

2️⃣ Start your warm-up. Warm-up for at least 5-10 minutes and you’ll be amazed at how much better your legs may feel once you get going.

BONUS: Please make sure you’re eating enough (especially protein at every meal), hydrating, and actually taking time to recover and have a complete rest day at least once a week. These can also help support less fatigue in the legs. 😉💪

Have you ever started a bike ride or run and thought, “Holy hell, my legs are TIRED!” 😪 Let us know below! 👇

Do you actually need a vacation, or do you need a life you don’t constantly need to escape from? 👀

Oof. We’re going there. 🙈

Because sometimes you don’t need another productivity hack, meditation app, or “self-care” routine that has 20 steps - many times you need:

✨ A boundary
✨ More breathing room
✨ Less 💩 on your plate
✨ Better communication
✨ Or having a conversation you’ve been avoiding

We’re talking about how to make your actual, everyday life feel more livable, and why the goal isn’t to NEVER need a break - it’s to make sure your break is a break and not an emergency escape where you burn everything down.🔥

🎧 New episode is live wherever you get your podcasts!

What are you currently fantasizing about escaping from? 👀

Your job isn’t to make sure everyone is comfortable with every boundary you set.

👆Read that again.

Sometimes setting a boundary means someone is going to be disappointed, annoyed, or they might not understand.

And sometimes they might REALLY want you to change your mind because your boundary makes their life less convenient.

That doesn’t mean you’ve done something wrong.🙅‍♀️ A boundary isn’t a request for everyone else’s approval. It’s a decision about what you are and aren’t available for.

And if you’re someone who has spent a lot of time keeping the peace, avoiding conflict, or making sure everyone else is okay, then setting a boundary can feel wildly uncomfortable.

You may even think that you’re being selfish or that they’ll be upset with you.

Yep, they might! And you can survive someone else’s discomfort. You can also be kind without being endlessly available to everyone. You can care about someone without saying yes to everything. You can disappoint someone and still be a good person.

Sometimes the most important boundary isn’t the one that makes everyone happy - it’s the boundary that lets you stay connected to yourself and what’s important to YOU.

And THAT is a habit worth practicing.

🎙️ lI talk more about this in this week’s episode of Making Shift Happen, which drops tomorrow! 🙌

Instead of thinking of your workout as yet ANOTHER thing you “need” to check off of your to-do list, what would it look and feel like if you treated it like a privilege?

You GET to workout. You GET to move your body.

You don’t HAVE to. You GET to. Not everyone gets to - but you do. ✨

If you’re feeling exhausted or too tired to workout, try this mindset shift today and get after it with this simple reminder, fam. Sometimes all it takes is a perspective change.

Friend, the process is NOT easy. If it was easy, everyone would be doing it. 🤷‍♀️

But, you’re human and you love easy. You love simple. You love uncomplicated. You love familiar and comfortable.

As soon as things test you or get uncomfortable, YOU ARE OUT and DONE and waving the white flag. 🙅‍♀️

You resist. You complain. You find every single thing that is wrong with everything you are doing. And then you complain some more. 🙈

The process is not easy - I’m not here to candy coat this for you. 😉 But it’s so very worth it.

It is time to get uncomfortable and see what the hell you are made of. 🔥

I guess this is a little Monday motivation for you. Love you, mean it! 😘

Please repeat this to yourself: “Your exhaustion is not evidence of your value.”

Exhaustion isn’t proof that you’re doing life “right” or “how you’re supposed to.”

Exhaustion is exhaustion, and it means you need some damn rest and to also examine what the hell may be “off” for you:
👉How’s your sleep quantity and quality?
👉Are you eating enough food to fuel your goals and life?
👉Do you set work boundaries (and uphold them)?
👉When was the last time you sat in silence (without your phone)?

Being exhausted and constantly busy isn’t a sign you should be proud of, because eventually that exhaustion will catch up to you and could lead to burnout. And take it from me, you want to avoid burnout because that is a helluva hole to dig yourself out of. 🪏

I think we all need to replace the phrase “I’m so busy” with “I’m grounded and less chaotic because I set and uphold my boundaries and don’t neglect myself any f*cking more.” Yeah, it’s a mouthful, haha, but it’s a place of love that your body and brain need. 💜
