It’s rave day! 🦄🌈 Today, I am going to Dreamstate, a must festival here in SoCal that I have been going to since 2016. The festival runs from 1 pm to 1 am, with afters that go till 6 am both Friday and Saturday. This is my "epic shit" that I have been training for. I am very much treating this as an endurance sport. This week, I made sure to get in two lifting sessions and my “now” regular morning walks, but I’ve made it a lighter deload recovery week in preparation. You may not be a raver or have a big event on the horizon, but I’m also looking at the next 40 years as the big event. I’m building the habits, routines, and rituals NOW to support a healthier future. One motto I’ve been carrying around lately is “What if it didn’t have to be that hard?” A lot of the resistance we encounter when trying to set our lives up to have supportive, healthy habits —- comes from our own heads. The all-or-nothing thinking, the perfectionism to the point of inaction, the overthinking that spirals us out of motivation, the emotional highs and lows that lead us to overindulge or throw everything out the window... I have and still do experience ALL of these things. But the biggest tool I have in my back pocket is that I have developed the Awareness to notice when these things are happening. Sometimes, I don’t; sometimes, I still fall into the traps my mind lays for me. But more often than not, I notice these patterns because I’ve seen them before. I know what to look for. I am grounded in my desires, and I know that if I act in a certain way, I will feel a certain way, and I am able to move through these thoughts and feelings into action. I spoke about this process last week; building that ability to stop and recognize how to meet your needs and support yourself on this journey is key. I’ll be running an offer next week for the people who are ready to overcome those mindset blocks and finally get out of their own way and start sticking with your habits so that you can do epic shit like rave for 2 days straight and not feel like you were hit by a bus —- or even if it’s just that you want to start building a strong healthy body that will carry you through the next 4 decades with vigor and vitality. (That works, too). Whatever your “epic shit” is, I want you to be able to feel your best doing it. So be on the lookout for more information because I’m here to make the process simpler, easier, and something you can fit into your life without getting stuck in the mind drama. |

I had a couple of harsh realities handed to me this week. My dog injured his leg playing around with my partner last night - and it was a glimpse into a possible future. He is a 72 lb golden with hip dysplasia and osteoarthritis. He’s had surgery on his right hind hip and probably needs it on his other. So far, we have been managing with pain meds and love. But last night, after roughhousing, he started limping and couldn’t get up to walk to the bedroom - so we carried him. FYI - he is mostly...
I’m 25 days out from a half-marathon race I haven’t been training for. Monster Mountain at mile 1.7 😳 And yet, I’m strangely confident. Have you ever committed to something you weren’t ready for and then didn’t give enough time to? As the days dwindle down, I’m reminded that consistent movement builds a foundation for spontaneous adventures. When you build movement into your life you can be ready to do things on a whim and tap into those benefits. Even though my run mileage has only brought...
