Tuesdays With Moriah

This summer I changed my work hours on Tuesday to have most of the day off to hang with the kiddos. (More me time, less screen time, you know?!)

During that time I found a 9:15 Tuesday morning yoga class at 3LD in Dewitt with Moriah and loved it. Side note - Moriah is an amazing teacher. Her flows are always fun, I intuitive, and truly enjoyable for any level yogi.

So, when I went back in to readjust my hours back to non-school hours, I found myself a little sad about giving up my Tuesday morning yoga. After sitting with it, I decided I wasn’t going to give up my Tuesday mornings with Moriah! It had five me back some balance I didn’t realize was missing, and I wanted to keep it.

Today was my first class since the kids went back to school. After dropping the little one off at 8:15 ish, I went down to Bridge Street Park, called my best friend in her way to work, and sat on a bench soaking up some early morning sun before yoga.

Let me tell you —- it was FANTASTIC. I’ve felt noticeably more relaxed and grounded today. Yoga hit the spot, as usual, and I’m really proud of myself for keeping that in my schedule. I’m proud of myself for filling my cup.

It’s so easy to push ourselves, chase the money, do the things, berate ourselves about not doing the things… you know what I’m talking about. The lists can feel endless. The worlds, shoulds, and coulds can keep coming. BUT…

If you find something that soothes your soul, even just a bit, make space for that. Keep that in your life. We all need time to decompress without guilt or shame, without thinking and doing. Life is about balance. I believe with my whole heart that we cannot pour form an empty cup. It is not selfish to take care of ourselves. Anytime I begin question whether I “should or shouldn’t” allow myself to do soemthing, I ask myself if I would encourage my best friend to do it. What would I say to my spouse or best friend about them wanting to do something for themselves. Whatever that answer is, I turn around and tell myself whatever that is.

Do whatever you’d tell your best friend to do. Take care of yourself. Love yourself. Find your Tuesdays with Moriah 😉

Happy Healing!
