Reimagining My Mornings

I don’t know if it's peri-menopause, the weather, my new mattress, or what – but I don’t like assigning myself violence first thing in the morning anymore!

I used to get up early, knock out a LONG Peloton stack of classes, proudly send my receipts to my accountability partners, and start my day.

If I skipped, I would beat myself up with guilt, which is just more violence.

Today I opted for a morning of ease and joy.

I went for my run around noon.

And guess what!?  It was fine! I was fine.

My nervous system was grateful.

Today, I recognized that reimaging for me means letting go not only of traditions that no longer serve me, but also of habits and rituals that no longer work for me in this stage of my life.
