To the process of walking as a place of liberation. May we let our Bodies Talk. Slow-Fully Yours, Taryn
Hi Bodies! As we head into the weekend, may we be reminded of the life lessons all around us! In today's episode we encounter a beautiful memory from a child on a playground. That reminds us to call out the facts, and that we having a choice (many actually) in how we respond next. Matching our words with a calming logic, a focused precision and a truth telling care instead of an overwhelming chaos, blaming anxious spinny doom. It is here, in stating out loud when things are difficult (no matter what they are) we can have more access to notice how our needs can be met. To this little child and their affirming care - May we too take life notes and lessons from the tiny voices around us! To the wisdom in all of us, unbound by age
Today's episode explores the joy of humour, play and spaciousness for reframing our working memory and the delights of our vivid, visual memories! Listen for one habit I repeat daily to myself often for a laugh and as strategic act of care!
Our physical environments have a huge impact on our emotional and mental states of attunement. Today's episode highlights a @slow.full.organizing practice that helps reduce emotional and physical clutter, and let's you break down care of your self one step at a time! With a simple question, and a tubberware bin see how thing practice too can transform your life! Remember, you are Neuro-Essential! And all of your processing is valid! From one small step, to another — Yours in caring for our collective capacity, Taryn
When making decisions feel hard to make, and the difference between booking an 11 or 11:30 meeting is daunting and overwhelmingly stressful to pick between, and the feels are real! The best antidote I've discovered is to not make one (in that moment) — To say you need more time to decide. To write an email, but not send it - keeping it in your draft inbox until a clarity arrives. To open the tab but not reach out. To keep a note about an upcoming appointment, but without the details of a day or time. Let it linger. Let decisions with time, schedules and appointments sit a while longer. The pressure cooker vibe of deciding (and getting it right) doesn't need to be something we adhere to. We can ask for more room in our decision making processes. With our selves, with our own schedules and with our communities. Together we can practice rushing less, and nourishing ourselves more. What can you not* decide on today? I trust in the time it takes to slow down, and to make a genuine decision grounded in care and clarity. May we practice moving more spaciously together, xo Communicate you need more time to decided and give yourself the time you require to slow-full it down ⏰❤️
Feeling overwhelmed by too many decisions or not able to make a single one? Feeling directionless with endless openings and no pathway is hard to navigate! I'm learning this too in times of transition, deadlines and newness in life at every corner right now. Everything is a seed. And how tall or big something will grow, is undetermined. Leaning in to directionless requires us to take a tiny step towards direct action. Direct action is a step, not an outcome or the answer - but a way forward. And sometimes, when the world feels really big and up-close - all we need is a step that empowers us in knowing we are in control, that we are safe and that we can lean in when all we want to do is avoid and lean out. And it usually is towards the direct thing we are panicking, worrying or avoiding about. To practicing tough conversations, daily routines, and gentle self compassion. We are all trying to live in a time we have never gone through before. As we take time for our hearts to adjust and we set boundaries with our minds there is space to set a timer and try again. Yours in recovery from avoiding life when it gets hard, xo T
We deserve to be celebrate, recognized and supported in our actions of living life on the daily! This week it is a PURE FUCKING JOY to celebrate the GOOD JOB, YOU ARE DOING! Plug in your headphones, turn up the volume and let these delightful Affirmations of ReParenting coming on in, come your way! Cause you, my darling friend ARE DOING SUCH A GOOD JOB!! ✨
I'm so excited to share this really funky way of reframing and re-making a To-Do List that actually works! Aka Not as a list! But as a visual sequence, as a doodle! This Play-Full, spacial and visual way of organizing information and to-do lists (has forever changed my life, and empowered the way I think and move through this World!) THANK YOU Josh for your word hug, that lead me to this BIG JUICY JOY! ❤️
Do you ever wake up anxious, wobbly and already at max capacity?! When the morning begins with a clash of experiencing a buzzing high + draining mental fatigue about upcoming decisions you don't know how to make, alongside the panic of not knowing how or what to prioritize in your day when everything feels of equal, frantic, urgency?! Aka When you wake up, and your executive functioning has already hit a wall
To all the beautiful humans understanding more, or perhaps for the first time, their Neuro-Essential Joy later in life this is for you! This episode is filled with ecstatic dance of peer-support, community connections and the joy of friendship virtual, IRL and online that ripples and flows so dearly in my life! Looking deeper into the joy of language and audio notes (aka verbal processing is my learning style
The reclaiming of words and our connection to them is a heart-centered joy I'm thrilled to share with you during this weeks visit “Now vs. Then: Disappointment Across the Years” In flipping the script on Disappointment as an empowered action, verse something we did or caused out of no intention of our own is a framework I am delighted to explore in this visit. It's the small phrase “It's Okay to Disappoint People” that's supports the role of my executive functioning and helps me start the process of connected communication in a beautiful. honest, upfront way. We don't need to fear disappointing people, it is okay my dear ones! xo May this little gem from my heart practice to yours seep into your day and support those potentially anxious, uncertain, run-away thought moments to ground yourself in commUnity ans in the permission knowing with a soul full-heart that it is OKAY to disappoint people. And in my experience the spiralling negative outcome we expect… is rarely the experience we get to share afterwards
Hi Bodies! We all come with a unique set of care instructions, but do we listen to them? Like many plants there are growing conditions that help one thrive, best practices for care or they.. wither. If someone picked you up, what would your label say? Needs daily downtime? loves dim lightening? don't book back to back meetings? regular joy-full cardio and strength building exercise? When we follow our own care instructions - the ones we are we are given through our unique and precious embodiments - we are able to thrive. When we accept our Bodies and what they require, verse fight our own growing conditions towards a wellness ethic we lean into what is, not we we want life to be. It is here, we are able to stop and grow.
Finding the Fall spirit lingering through the air, we seek back into comfort more visibly. In the fabrics of the poof filled vests, the extra fuzzy blankets, the heating pads, and fireplaces, the scents, and candles, and hues of the glowing world around us we see a building of a nesting heart. May this visit welcome you to find and to make known the small comforts of the sensory supportive world around you, in your home, on your Body, in you car, in your heart, the touch of a caring comfort in the objects, scents, sounds, tastes and touches of rest and support that are available to you. As we move through this visit, we make known the observation of words and how they land in our Bodies - the places we can soften into with how we describe our decisions and thus, deactivate the narratives that move us into right or wrong, but moves us internally into safety and kindness of our own well-being. To the words and supports that soothe and support us
Hi Bodies! This week is a tough one for many folks. It marks the return to school. Usually a time decorated with excitement and anticipation, now lined with the fatigue of another space of newness, of exhausting social output, of already being bloody tired. If you are returning to a school, a new job or helping your families get organized know excitement doesn't need to be part of your experience right now, the World is tired. We are tired of trying to keep our heads above water, let alone learning from a place of struggle. We are already burnt out and overwhelmed before having even started. And this is where our schools needs to start, with how we are feeling. With our exhaustion being spoken into, without masking how we are really feeling. This visit is a reminder to speak our truth in our class introductions, with our peers, our colleagues, our supervisors our boss, to start out with our Mind and Body, at the Centre of our relationships. Not only does this remind us of the labour of learning, but of our Bodies at the Centre of these spaces. It's hard work to feel prepared right now, the Body isn't able to catch up. And so together, may we ask for more information that we need to feel supported by, may we speak our schedules through gentle ease, lessen our work expectations, set boundaries, say no to taking more on, and reduce our work load; already knowing the load we are carrying is a lot. May we see how the way we carried on before, will not carry us forward now. Check your syllabi. Reduce your reading lists. Start morning classes later. Check what participation and attendance means from a place of full MindBody wellness. Showing up, doesn't mean we are in-person. Let the Pandemic Learning Culture of 2020 remind us of a slower culture, one that we can use to shape a healthier future with less on the go.
Regulating our emotions and the temperature of those emotions is often a hard process to see and build awareness around. With intensity at the Centre, perhaps that's where we can begin. Reclaiming the ways our Bodies move through the every day actions and reactions, reminding our dearly beloved selves that; “This moment doesn't actually need to be so intense right now” Giving our Bodies the reflection of personally agency, of a fact, to re-member that not everything has to be intense to get something done, to be heard, or be seen, for things to be noticed, for you to the noticed. For the visitation today, that supports the diffusing of personal blame of a previous self and our wrapped experiences of intensity; from the quiet and underneath, to the out loud and explosive shifting towards the agency of a power-full Love, an expression of care knowing that “This moment, doesn't need to be so intense” and that we are still cared for. To see and be known, may we walk slowly together in spacious reclaiming a gentle-ease as a place we can rest within. To the witnessing of our Bodies responding to togetherness for an ease that is always allowed and is mindfully available to us, one practicing, re-membering moment at a time. Yours in Body, Taryn (she/they)
A walk into language. How often do we use the word Bad in our days? What defines the containers of the language we use with and against our Bodies on the daily? In this Visit we hold invitations to explore words such as bad vs good, mental stress vs mental health, and visit vs episode that are spacious and more personally accurate to their meaning and place in our lives, words that are less black and white. — Visit 2 — T
