"CRAZY" IDEAS TO KEEP YOU SANE

This will be for International Women's Day

How would it be if in the morning we greet with love all the different parts of our bodies? How would it be if in the evening we say goodnight and thank you to each part if ourselves? Today I just share a short loving practice

This episode is about welcoming mistakes and about holding them lovingly so we can feel it's treasures

Hello hello helllo!!! Wherever we are, whatever landscape we live on, whatever weather we have around, we can become beauty gatherers!! We can look at the ground, and if we have puddles from the rain, amaze ourselves with the magic and beauty that is in front of our eyes. If it's sunny we can gather the sun reflections on the ground and the beautiful shadows and marvel at it like a child. If neither water nor sun is around, then become a curious observer and enjoy all the shapes, colours and textures that you can find.  You may even find the amazing resilience of some plants that thrive in the cracks of concrete. Let's take our energies down from our thoughts and stories into our feet and the beauty of the ground. Let's become beauty gatherers!! 

In this 3 mins episode Recorded in the park, I invite you to go to a place where you can listen to the birds and you can either take their songs into your body or you can imagine they are saying beautiful things about you ... enjoy!

This spontaneous podcast happened while my daughter was screaming/singing her head off and after having a day full of demands and sadness. I propose us to do two crazy things while Life throws daily demands/requests ... that exhaust us: 1. Allow whatever it is you are feeling to stay for as long as YOU DECIDE IT!! pay attention to how the emotion manifest, where it stays, what colours, textures, ... my sadness was like a grey cloud full of water and I wanted it to stay in me because somehow it was making me feel a better daughter. I think you will understand why in the episode 2. Refill in your bottle of water!!!!! stop trying to give your energy to things or others when there is not much water left or none at all. Putting ourselves first can be one of the craziest ideas that women of my generation can think of :) LET'S BE CRAZY TOGETHER!!! Sending you lots of love, wherever you are :):) Inma

In this episode, I invite us to label our emotions, to do it in a way in which there is some distance and if/when we choose to, make them look funny :) Now I need to run, but I will write more about this another time Warmest! Inma

This is a short improvised session :) Sometimes we are too close to ourselves, our thoughts and emotions and from that place, it is difficult to welcome surprise and even to take care of ourselves. The invitations are: 1. To talk to yourself in the second person. In my case it would be: "what do you want to do today, Inma", "What do you want to eat, smell, touch, see ...? where would you like me to give you a massage Inma? - Do not anticipate the answer, leave space for a surprise ... it may be difficult at first, but with practice, it will come. 2. Talk to yourself in the third person. In my case, it would be: "I am going to ensure Inma gets enough to sleep", "I am going to make an effort so that Inma has nourishing food" ... Like always, do it playfully, with as much love and smiles as you can. If sorrow or sadness (or any other negative emotion) is on you, you can say "(your name) where would you like to cry now?, what would be helpful for you at this point?" ... open space and permission to do what is needed. Embrace yourself, your fascinating self as no one can!! As yourself what does she need? give her your care, love and attention as you would to someone you love. Or someone you would like to love :) NOTE: The section about negative emotion is not recorded :) but I trust that if you need the message, you will read this. IF YOU WANT ME TO SPEAK MORE ABOUT ANYTHING IN PARTICULAR (e.g., how to deal with the negative emotions), SEND ME AN EMAIL AT i.adarves-Yorno@ex.ac.uk Please put PODCAST on the subject title :) Sending lots of love! Inma

You will be together (with yourself) as in an arranged marriage until death Why don't you take yourself as your beloved? Take yourself on dates :) Write love messages start a courtship And like in any successful marriage ensure you have enough, communication, acceptance, humour and lots of love. Keep it fresh!

Finally, I make an invitation for you to join me to make this podcast and the audience experience better. And I plant the seed of the RESILIENCE REVOLUTION that is coming :) I'll be with you soon again!
