Wow, whoa, okay 2021- Experiments + Salad Plates

IMG_0848%2B2.jpg

Wow, whoa, okay......

I felt like my confused, happy, tired, excited, anxious face was important to share as I've spent a lot of time this month normalizing all of that. Talking about worries that I went through my reserves so much faster than anticipated; that my capacity is honestly not a dinner plate but a salad plate at the moment (of course I picked food imagery- I am Italian) and that my first day back at it from vacation I seriously considered hiding under my desk! 

Anyone else? 

So now that we've made all of that normal now what? We pay attention, we lean in and we embrace. That is my current experiment.

Paying attention....to when I'm just silly, crazy tired; the tiny moments of joy (microwaved the popcorn and didn't burn it; birds singing outside while I'm in a meeting; scoring my 500th student- yes big and tiny, small- all joy is welcome!); and noting just where the heck my attention is and getting clear on what's up inside and outside. 

Leaning in....to the moment and the data. Hungry, tired, bringing me joy, needing a mini pause....

Embracing...noted, leaning into and now letting it be. Sometimes it means I do something like take the pause, go for the walk or sometimes it's not doing like wrapping my arms around my knees and saying "yeah this is uncomfortable" insert feeling, fear etc. 

Each of these separately is a beautiful practice. Put them all together and it's a powerful practice. So I'm inviting you to join me in paying attention, leaning in and embracing. 

As always I'm here to support and hold space as we are all doing this together whether we know it or not- it's shared. I included below some ways next month I might be able to do just that and hold space, support and invite you into community to go at this wow, whoa, okay together! 

Lots of love!
