I was 22, young and dumb, so I bought a puppy. We grew up together. He saved my life, many times. He was my favorite thing, and the smartest decision I ever made. Get a dog, save a dog, he just might save you.

I’ve been journaling for over 20yrs and it’s part of my medicine. I journal for mindset, stress relief, and focus. I’m constantly reminded of the numerous ways this habit can help us in troubled times as well as peaceful times. One daily method I have “re-adopted” recently has improved progress and focus in my day when I feel so scattered and overwhelmed due to the daily news and world situation. I offer it here.
1. Set your timer for 5 minutes. Ask yourself “What went well yesterdY?” Write down as many things as you can. Go through your message log or calendar to job your memory. When the timer is up challenge yourself to write down 5 more. This practice primes your brain to seek evidence for the positives in your life. To remember and focus on progress. Enhancing a feeling of confidence and well being. .. 2. Set timer for 5 minutes and ask “what didn’t go well?” This is the time to self reflect on what didn’t go as planned, where you struggled. By priming your brain with no.1 first it this doesnt feel bad or ‘icky’ or negative. It feels more informative and observatory, neutral. A way to learn. ..
3. Final step - set timer for 5 minutes. Ask: “what will i do differently next time?” Take the struggles aka mistakes of no.2 and brainstorm solutions. What might work better when the same situation arises again? Ask yourself what feeling you would like to create next time, what actions could you take. Did you learn how to do a task more efficiently by struggling and making a mistake? Write that here. >>
Pen to paper is very important for this because our brain can move very fast, a lot of thoughts avg 60,000 in fact per day run through our mind more in times of stress. Writing slows it all down. Brings more clarity and ease. .... now sit back and read it again. Absorb your wins, acknowledge your struggles, and emphasize what you learned. Now that is progress!!
..

If we can improve ourselves by 1% a day - just 1%! - imagine where we could be in a year!

Love to hear how it goes for you - let me know! I will be here journaling away.
This yoga this community ♥️♥️♥️ so many interesting insights from practicing this yoga out of the hot room. 1)it’s still makes me feel great! 2)without the sweat I didn’t have to focus on my grip so I could focus on really using the correct muscles 3)going less deep into the posture without the heat let me focus on more precise alignment - creating muscle memory - I know my body will remember and be able to make even great gains when back to the hot room and 4) I can be late and the does not locked! 😂😂 (you know me always one to run in at the last min) now I’m ready for IHP tonight! Going to get the husband to join in 🙌🏻🙌🏻 take care yogis! Stay strong and flexible! @onefireaz #bikramyoga #livestreaming #lovethistribe
Our k9 mongo (we call him mongie) had kidney stones. Long Surgery last night (25 stones!). Jason stayed with him for hours to make sure he woke up ok. Police k9s do not wake up from anesthesia like your sweet pup wakes up 😆 he is home now and resting well. He will help keep mom (me) company during this time while he heals at home. Let’s see what else 2020 brings... sheesh.

Did the team charity CrossFit workout today with the hubs. It was hard. At first while waiting for the heat to start I was missing my quiet warm yoga. 40 degrees with weights slamming around was tough only 30 mins out of my warm bed. Then I realized this is the practice. The practice of stillness and managing my mind and trying new things that make us uncomfortable so we can grow mentally and physically. And all of the tenseness started to melt away. I could hear the cheerfulness in the conversations around me (CrossFitters are amazingly cheerful) and the challenge of moving and using my strong yoga body in new ways. And doing it for a great reason. I cried a little thinking of sweet Koki and his service and his too short life. 49:20 was our time as a team we crushed it! (Not really 😊 but its all perspective!) and I did every move. Thanks to everyone today @crossfitunwavering who took the time and their money to workout today for Koki and Doug and El Mirage PD. Please remember to stretch! (That’s the yogi in me) Back to yoga tomorrow 😊🙌🏻
Happy New Year! 2020 here we come! Thanks Gracie for the support and love ♥️ love you back my old girl.
Why yes you had me at hello ...

Just got my order today! The best stocking stuffer @ardenthomesteader caramel! Omg seriously the best stuff on earth. Both saddened and deeply happy she started making this perfect size! (Sad because it’s seriously not enough once you taste it) try it. Buy it. Can I say seriously again???
Winter nap day near the hay barn (maaaybe a piece will jump out!) or on the couch or on sun ☀️ warmed rocks. 😍 hope your winter day is filled with warmth and naps! #naptime #winternaps
