Are you stuck in a rut? How do you get out? Similar to last week's podcast episode... just reminding you all that you can change. So if you are feeling blah, flat and in a rut... tune in, it's time to get you out of that rut!This is what we spoke about during the episodeAccording to Oxford Languages, a rut is a habit or pattern of behaviour that has become dull and unproductive but is hard to change.Ruts aren't necessarily a long-time thing. Sometimes, ruts come in moments in your day.We think the best way to get out of that funky rut feeling is to move and shake up your body. Literally, jump and dance around to your fave song. If you're stuck in a job that you hate, check in with what you can add or subtract to make it better.Change is hard and scary but it's the ultimate shake-up of ruts and can make a 180-degree life turn.Adding a new goal or something else to focus on helps alleviate your original rut situation. Like a 50 day Yoga Challenge.Talk to a friend about your rut, do something fun and creative, watch inspirational documentaries, or learn something new.If you have been stuck in a rut but are now inspired to jump into one of these action steps, we would love to hear from you, send us an email to carla@themerrymakersisters.com or emma@themerrymakersisters.com or message us on our Facebook and Instagram accounts @themerrymakersisters.Download our FREE Self Care Checklist and you'll find 50 brand new ideas to practice self care.Always merrymaking,Emma + CarlaP.s if you ever need further help or guidance please contact Lifeline or Beyond Blue.

Mit einem entspannten "Ommmm" folgen Jan und Daniel dem Bestseller von Emmanuel Carrère auf ein Yoga-Retreat. Und Thriller-Autor John Grisham verrät, woher er seine vielen Ideen nimmt. Mit einem entspannten "Ommmm" folgen Jan und Daniel dem Bestseller von Emmanuel Carrère auf ein Yoga-Retreat. Und Thriller-Autor John Grisham verrät, woher er seine vielen Ideen nimmt. So viel Aufmerksamkeit haben die Nasenlöcher der Hosts wohl noch nie bekommen: In der Bestsellerchallenge geht es diesmal um Vipassana-Yoga, also um das bewusste Ein- und Ausatmen. Die Entspannung findet jedoch ein jähes Ende, als Jan Daniel zu einer Yoga-Challenge herausfordert. Zu Gast ist diesmal der Thriller-Autor John Grisham. Er begrüßt die beiden Hosts von seiner Farm in Virginia. Ein idyllischer Ort, an dem aber grausame Ideen entstehen. Zum Beispiel die eines Richters, der gleichzeitig ein Serienmörder wird. Darum geht es in Grishams neuem Roman. Nach der Erfahrung des letzten Romans "Der Polizist" (nachzuhören in Folge 33) will Daniel aber vor allem eins wissen: Warum gibt es so viele Wiederholungen im Buch? Auf seiner literarischen Weltreise landet Jan diesmal in Singapur, wo ein Roman über Marlene Dietrich erschienen ist. Und er findet einen Literaturnobelpreisträger, für den Meditation mindestens so wichtig war wie für Emmanuel Carrère. Die Bücher der Sendung 00:00:27 Emmanuel Carrère: „Yoga“ (Matthes und Seitz) 00:15:04 Amanda Lee Koe: „Die letzten Strahlen eines Sterns“ (CulturBooks) 00:18:37 Tobias Friedrich: „Der Flussregenpfeifer“ (Penguin) 00:21:58 John Grisham: „Der Verdächtige“ (Heyne) 00:24:50 Interview mit John Grisham 00:46:21 Karin Kalisa: „Sungs Laden“ (C.H.

Öl in der Pfanne oder in einem Wok erhitzen, den kleingeschnittenen Ingwer und Knoblauch hinzufügen. Die Karotten in schmale Stifte schneiden und ebenfalls hinzufügen. Dann die klein geschnittenen Zucchini, und den in Streifen geschnittenen Pak Choi sowie die ganzen Zuckerschoten im Ganzen in die Pfanne oder den Wok geben. Das Ganze mit 4-5 EL Sojasoße bei großer Hitze würzen und reduzieren, danach mit einem Schuss Erdnussöl abrunden. Den Reis mit Koriander dekorieren. Die Edle Stille hat begonnen. Auf blechernen Servierwagen schieben die Kurshelfer Riesenportionen Reis und gekochtes Gemüse herein, das man mit Sojasoße, Bierhefe oder Gomasio würzen kann. https://www.deutscher-podcastpreis.de/podcasts/eat-read-sleep-buecher-fuer-dich/ Feedback, Anregungen und Ideen?

#30 van de Back in Action Podcast met Thijs van Halewijn. Over Betekenisvol groeien. Online Ondernemen en trouw zijn aan jezelf. Rita Vaessen in gesprek met Thijs van Halewijn. Als Yoga docent is het mijn missie om mensen met meer veerkracht, soepeler in het leven te helpen staan. Met Yoga voorbij de Houdingen. De Back in Action Podcast is er om mensen daarmee te inspireren. De coaching van Thijs heeft me geholpen om de nieuwe opzet van Mind Your Body beter vorm te geven. Hij is als geen ander in staat om je dichter bij jezelf te brengen. Geen trucjes, doen en praten zoals anderen. In het dagelijks leven, in relaties met anderen, in uitingen naar buiten. Maar dus ook voor het ontwikkelen van een duidelijk verhaal op mijn website. Hoe geef ik in een paar woorden aan wat ik doe voor wie? Wat is mijn aanbod? Kortom betekenisvol groeien.

Welcome to the #PracticeWithClara Podcast, where Clara and Stephanie discuss philosophy, yoga, and all things related to the practice. We sat down to discuss Shadow School—the theme for October's 30-Day Virtual Yoga Challenge in this week's episode. With seven themes to anchor in the wild and intense emotions of the shadow, Clara and Stephanie shared their perspective of the shadow self and why exploring the darker aspects of the self is so important. Themes of Shadow School: Fear, Guilt, Grief, Shame, Duplicity, Illusion, Attachment. See the Shadow School Yoga Playlist More on this episode: A definition of the shadow Archetypes and why they are important A brief description of Addiction to Perfection by Marion Woodman The individual and global experience of the shadow Contrast between the darkness and the light Resources mentioned: Addiction to perfection: The still unravished bride: a psychological study by Marion Woodman. More on Shadow School: “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate.” — Carl Jung. Shadow School is your summons to acknowledge your wild side, surface intense emotions, and expunge the parts of yourself you no longer need. You are ready to face the core beliefs, motivations, desires, and aspirations that bring darkness and lightness into your life. We must eat our own shadow—haul it up from out of the pit and develop a conscious connection with it. Doing so not only prevents our unacknowledged darkness from haunting our thoughts and distorting our relationships; it also liberates tremendous psychic energy. — Excerpt from Rob Brezsny's Shadow School.

Mmmmmmm don't you feel so relaxed? Feel the calm rush over you as you inhale this new episode. Corpse Pose. Child's pose. Babies Pose. Uncle's Pose. Um... Your Neighbor's Uncle's Rabbi's Taxidermist.. Pose. Idk you guys. I'm tired. I'm sitting here looking at the wall. I didn't sleep well last night because I had that recurring nightmare where my finger's are hot dogs and I have to dial 911 on a corded phone because Steve Buscemi is outside the window looking in and he won't leave??? But the hot dogs are slippery because they're uncooked, so it won't dial right. I can't go to sleep because Steve Buscemi is always waiting there, and I'm tired.

Behind the Scenes This is a short vlog to show you behind the scenes in the making of the 30 day beginner yoga challenge. We both loved making the challenge because it gave us a positive focus during the coronavirus pandemic and it allowed us to make a positive difference in the world. Having a project that we can offer out in the the world with joy, gratitude and love helped us to stay grounded. Our location was an hour drive outside of Victoria B.C. close to Metchosin. Because we live on an island where there are lots of trees, water and mountains it takes a long time to travel places. Why we created this challenge at this time: We noticed that we had a lot more yoga students subscribing to both of our YouTube channels and becoming members of our channels. We noticed that we had a lot of new people that are beginners. The most popular videos on our main channel has always been our beginner videos. I'm receiving a lot of messages from people asking me: What yoga should I do right now? I am also receiving a lot of messages from people who are working from home who need short 10 minute yoga breaks in their day. When I looked at what beginners were looking for in yoga classes, they wanted: prop free, wrist free, kneeling free, and inversion free yoga classes. So all of these beginner classes try to stick to that format as much as possible. What is warming my heart the most is that people are practicing with their children and their elderly parents. Tim is practicing yoga everyday now! The location we filmed in was so special. An enchanted forest with shooting star flowers, a moss covered ground, gorgeous old growth trees with old man's beard, and deer, ravens and eagles all around us. We are so grateful that we can film outside here in Victoria B.C. We know it is a privilege that many of you do not have around the rest of the world. For that we are sorry and we hope that these 30 videos that we have filmed can bring some of the outdoors indoors for you. Thank you so much to Lole for my clothes which keep me toasty warm in the cool Canadian forests and thank you to Tim for filming and distributing the 30 day challenge to all of you. May the 30 day challenge be of benefit to many. Namaste, Melissa

Beginner Yoga Challenge Welcome to our 30 day beginner yoga challenge. This challenge is designed to get you in the habit of practicing yoga over the next 30 days. I have been hearing from a lot of people who are working from home who are starting yoga for the first time. I am hearing from my students that they are working from home and they need 10 minute yoga breaks throughout their day. This 30 day beginner yoga challenge will get you in the habit of moving your body every day after you wake up, as a 10 minute break in your work day or before bed. We are living in stressful times and our autonomic nervous system naturally releases stress hormones that help us to deal with this stress - to fight the tiger or run away from the tiger so to speak. If we do not move these stress hormones through our body we are going to feel more and more stressed and anxious. These 10 minute yoga breaks will support you in releasing stress and anxiety. I have made sure to include all the best components of my regular yoga with Melissa classes. We will start with a short centering to release tension from your body, connect with your breath and feel the support of the earth. We will move for about 8 minutes and then we will come back to the earth for the best pose, savasana. During savasana I will read you a poem not to analyse, but to immerse yourself in the poem's atmosphere, tones and textures, sounds, images, rhythms, to move you emotionally, energetically and spiritually. My intention with this 30 day beginner yoga challenge is to give us time away from our computers, social media, and news to tune into our bodies, to notice how you are feeling and to see what you need physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically. This doesn't have to take a long time, I believe we can do this in just 10 minutes. The classes are designed to connect you with your body and your breath. To allow you to find your center and your ground. To help you find strength and balance. When you create flexibility in your body you will have flexibility in your emotions and your mind as well. As much as possible I have tried to keep the classes prop free, wrist free, hand free and knee free. If you are new here, you may be wondering who I am? My name is Melissa, I have been teaching yoga since 2002, here on YouTube since 2009 and in my membership community since 2011. I have been recommended as having the best free yoga videos for beginners by Greatist Go HERE to sign up for the challenge Members, we will be populating our video library with ad free versions of these videos in the beginner section. Help me reach 100K subscribers by subscribing to my channel, doing the 30 day challenge, and sharing the challenge with your friends. Thank you so much! Namaste, Melissa

Haven’t we all, at one time or another, struggled with getting new activities to become more permanent? Gretchen Rubin, author of The Happiness Project and fellow Podcaster, shares her research with us on how to create lasting habits. And because no single strategy works for everyone, she dove deeper into different personality types and how they can use their inherent predispositions to their advantage. She also discussed the challenges different personalities traits have so we can be aware of avoiding potential roadblocks. In her studies, she identified 4 general personality types: Upholders, Questioners, Obligers and Rebels. A link to her quiz is included below so you can learn how you may be able to make long-term positive changes in your own life. She also touches on simple strategies we can all add into our daily routines to be happier people, how to avoid getting off track once the rush of completing a major goal wears off, and shares examples she has come across with other runners that are extremely helpful. Many of us are still in a New Year, New You mindset and this episode provides powerful ideas to make sure that we stay on track with the goals we have set for ourselves, not just in the near-term, but for as long as we really want. Here are some of the topics we’ll discuss today: How our different personality traits determine how they form habits. Why we should use ‘milestones’ vs. ‘finish lines’ to maintain habits indefinitely. Why it’s important to protect key activities in our schedules and how to do it. Why and how we should use self-reflection of our prior experiences to realize what worked well, or didn’t, in our past. How we can proactively stave off ‘Runner’s Blues’ after accomplishing a big goal or avoid Seasonal Affective Disorder. Questions Gretchen is asked: 4:19 Why should people focus on personal improvement? 5:36 What are some examples of easy, significant changes someone can make? 8:34 What are the 4 Tendencies you refer to in your books? 11:33 Besides Upholders, how can runners who fall into the other Tendencies work with their strengths to achieve their running goals? 18:08 Are there any dangers with being an Upholder that they should look out for? 20:30 How does social media play into these different Tendencies? 24:31 What is the Danger Of A Finish Line? 27:25 What would you suggest to help people avoid Finish Line Dangers? 30:00 Could you swap related activities for specific activities during a recovery period? 31:26 How do you stay mentally engaged when your fastest running days are behind you? 33:47 Do people need to take a temporary clean break without a goal or does it vary by Tendency? 36:24 What if people still feel something is missing after achieving a goal, even if they have replaced the key activities related to that goal? 37:55 What advice do you have to help people avoid Seasonal Affective Disorder? 41:38 The Final Kick Round Quotes by Gretchen: If there’s something that you could do pretty easily that’s going to give you a big happiness boost, wouldn’t you want to do that? (Regarding Questioners): They tend to love data and reporting, so things like monitoring how far they’re going or what their time is, keeping records. Really figure it out, whatever it would take to make that decision because while you’re  not sure it’s going to block your way because you’re going to be sort of stuck... but once you decide then you can do it. (Regarding Obligers): If you’re an obliger you need ‘Outer Accountability’, you could work out with a trainer, you could join a running group where people are going to be annoyed if you don’t show up. (Regarding Rebels): They can do anything the WANT to do. The idea of a structured schedule, something that is very appealing to an Upholder, it’s a big turn-off for a Rebel. (Regarding Upholders): Upholders sometimes suffer from ‘tightening’ and this is when the ‘rules’ get tighter and tighter… Sometimes it can feel choking. If you feel like it’s sort of over-mastering you, you want to be aware that this is a phenomenon that Upholders can experience and you want to stay in control of it. Hitting a goal is a great way to hit a goal; it’s not a great way to keep a habit, because habits are usually things that we want to do indefinitely. It’s more helpful to think of a milestone. It’s a 30-day Yoga Challenge, but what are you doing on Day 34? To be happy you have to think about feeling good, feeling bad, feeling right in an atmosphere of growth.
