Are You on Fast Forward? I was!
|
Hi Reader, This past weekend I noticed something. I was on Fast Forward. I was rushing to pack up and leave. Rushing through the drive to the office while eating my breakfast at the same time. And then I caught myself... rushing, when there was absolutely no reason for it. Somewhere inside, that Fast Forward button had been pushed, maybe by accident, maybe out of habit. So I turned it off manually. A few deep breaths. Then I intentionally slowed down. I looked around while I was driving. I actually tasted my food. It was really good btw! I smiled and told myself I was just fine. It sounds a bit crazy when I say it out loud. And yet, I have a feeling you know exactly what I mean. Your Mindful Moment Just notice: how often do you rush through your day? And what might be possible if you slowed down to a regular pace and became a little more present? You might:
Try this today: The next time you notice yourself rushing, pause and take three slow breaths. Then ask, “Is there a real reason to hurry right now?” If the answer is no, give yourself permission to press play instead of Fast Forward. All of these things become possible when we slow down, become aware, and intentionally engage in life. A few pictures later this weekend when I slowed down and went for a nice walk! An Invitation to Go Deeper Slowing down is where change begins. When we stop living on autopilot, we can finally ask what we truly want and start choosing it on purpose. That’s exactly what we explore in Infinite Possibilities: The Art of Changing Your Life, my in-person workshop series based on the work of Mike Dooley. I’ve been facilitating this work since 2013, and it continues to be one of my favorite ways to help people reconnect with what’s possible for them. This fall, a beautiful group of women is coming together, and there are 3 to 4 spaces left. If you’re a woman who’s been craving connection, a place to gather, and real support in a safe space, this is your invitation. The group is intentionally small so each person has room to be heard, to explore, and to feel supported as she creates meaningful change in her life. The details:
No preparation needed. Just bring an open heart and a sense of curiosity to explore. Claim One of the Last Spaces Some words from past attendees:
If you’re not in the Lodi area, I hope this mindful moment travels with you this week. And if a woman in your life comes to mind who might love this experience, feel free to pass this along. Wishing you well, and may you be living your day at the normal speed....... Big Smiles! Emily |

Hi Reader, Disconnection hides in plain sight. "It gets mistaken for ordinary life, which is why so few of us notice we've left." Ooofff.... "...so few of us notice we've left." I read that line this morning and felt it land in my stomach, my heart, and then a full exhale. You know that feeling, when something hits you at a visceral level? It came from an email by Sean Fargo, a meditation teacher I follow, describing his interview with Qigong Master Mingtong Gu. (His new book, Coming Home to...
Hi Reader, Over the last couple of weeks, I have been inspired by my clients, through 1:1 work and in the group workshop. Inspired by hearing them go through life situations where they listen to what is right for them, and what might be wrong for them…or in other words, what is aligned or not aligned with their values and beliefs. And then taking action from that awareness instead of out of automatic habit. What I have been seeing and hearing, is them taking a stand for themselves, by saying...
Hi Reader, Here's something I find myself coming back to again and again. Your body is always talking to you. Not in some mystical, you-have-to-meditate-for-hours kind of way. In the most ordinary, everyday ways. The belly growl when you're hungry. The tight shoulders creeping up to your ears when your to-do list gets too long. The held breath when something makes you nervous. The 2am tossing and turning when your mind won't quiet down. We know these things. We just tend to push through them....
