Go Analog

Dear Friends,

What do we do when we’re living in the midst of stress and anxiety?  How do we allow ourselves to regulate?

I don’t know about you, but I’ve personally had a hard time decoupling from the intensity of this space and time.  I find myself anxious and overwhelmed on the regular and emotional regulation has been hard to come by.

A few days ago I stepped outside to take the trash out, and stumbled upon a glorious sunset.  Instead of going back inside, I decided to take a walk right then and there, go analog for a bit, enjoy the rest of the sunset, and find a little time and space outdoors. 

We are not meant to be surrounded by information constantly.  Our bodies need time to regulate, to process, to allow our nervous systems to calm so we can continue showing up for ourselves and those around us.  Because, at the end of the day, it’s absolutely important to keep showing up for ourselves and those around us.  This coming week I’m taking a group on a retreat to Costa Rica, where I’m hopeful we can all take a little time off and recharge so that when we get home we can continue to show up for those who need us.

My friends, if you’re having a hard time regulating this week, I hope you can find some time to go analog for a bit, to move your body in a way that feels good and nourishing, and to breathe a little deeper.

I hope you find amazing in your week ahead.

Love
Krista
