#make peace

Also, some positives, healthful things I’m working on and have incorporated. Which, full truth, have had copious mental positivity/clarity/relationship dynamic ramifications for the better -

> no longer wear a smart watch

-that shit was too keyed in for me

- I was unhealthily focused on standing/steps/workouts/competition/constant measuring - text, email, app alerts kids/news/etc

> I’m reading v audiobooks - still on my phone and not back to paperback (YET - it’s coming), but I’m mindfully making the time versus habit As background noise to a busy life. It’s intentional? I’m more connected and my attention is improved. I’m listening, hearing.

- in the car I’m listening to whatever music I’m feeling, or the kids are when it’s them with me

- I’m dancing if I want (in the car/or out - your pal is Getting jiggy with it - because dancing is fun and it creates happy memory bonds/core memories)

- singing if needed (iykyk)

> the yoga I’m practicing/teaching is authentic to what my attendees need, what the mood is, what I think will grow our bodies/minds for a stronger future - I want to be hiking in my 100s, full autonomy, and that means eating well and strengthening this body 80/20

> daily contributing to the most important foundational relationship I have - yes with myself (all of the above is that), what makes this shit flow with ease - oil/grease if you will - is the partnership C and I have cultivated and continue to prioritize that we built this family model on and that, I want to give to daily. Put at the top in all ways. It’s a practice and it’s been really incredible for us.

- we’ve both been in long term committed relationships in the past that failed. Not because they were with uncool people, because they were, but because of our stunted realization of life, maturity, just the balance of shit, not seeing unhealthy patterns and when we had this second chance to have a deeply connected foundation, and build our friendship/kinship into passion and blossomed a family from that, there aren’t words.

It’s good. It’s true. It’s blessed and a gift. We also work together constantly, want it to be fruitful and fulfilling and we want our kids to grow from a happy place that is genuine.

> I sit my phone down and only check hourly (because kids/dad cancer/mil/fil health/C) if not during sleep hours

- 10/10 recommend. Play music. Don’t sit on your phone. Fucking dance in the kitchen doing dishes. Have the back door open with birds chirping and fresh air flowing. Tech is not natch. Less is more.

> walk bare foot in house and outside

- fully stretches the fascia of the feet - connective tissue. Everything starts from the feet up, Ayurvedic Medicine - eastern medicine for posture and wellness.

- also, it is a connective practice - Christian to connect with your maker (created the earth to connect with and appreciate, acknowledge for what it gives you), other Spiritual to connect with your source of channeling, energy, power from connected energy, all religions are recommended to make a physical connection to this planet to be reminded where we gain nutrition/life/water/wellness - all religious practices are about making a full circle with life - it’s good no matter what path you are on and whatever that is - you are accepted here and by me - it should be yours, what you find is your truth - mine is evolving.

>Don’t be an asshole. This world is bigger and smaller than we think. We have more in common than we have been lead to believe. Being a good person matters. How you speak to people matters. Being nice is needed. Life is hard enough. Be kind for goodness sake 🤘💚

> I’ve also prioritized making some female friendships. I’ve reconnected to the pre-school group for Lilith (it’s the moms), reconnected to 2 yogis that are similar female energy and set up a Monday morning practice now that the kids are back in school, my Thursday night class is 2 females that are amazing - more details to come. attemted planning for a j friend from his old school, a new friend from Lilith’s new class.

- I also reached out ‘missed connection style’ from 2 amazing chicks in my past that my immaturity or circumstances prevented previous relationship progression and I regret because there was kinship there, just not time or the knowledge to appreciate someone’s effort towards me. Both responded super positive, that they felt the same and accepted a future ceramic paint/coffee klatch.

Here’s the hair cut with some effort -
