Day 18~Triad Challenge

Welcome to something brave.
I am so excited to share with you and activity that can cover all three at once. Yoga. Yes I am aware that, as with all things, we can take something, a though or a practice to a place that is unhealthy. I am not asking you to sell everything and sit on a mountain top. What I want us to do is use this tool as any other to help us move to a healthier more balanced place. You can find a place that teaches yoga; YMCA, and gyms. Look for online; like Youtube, Google +, or Yoga in Daily Life.
It is scary to try something new, be brave, give it whirl. Like bike riding the first time will be uncomfortable and awkward. Challenge yourself to stick it out this week and next. The breathing can happen any time, although closing your eyes should not happen when driving. Please make sure you move with in your comfort zone for your body condition. If you can't comfortably get on the floor then use a chair.  Use a chair for support and stability if needed. 

The point of today's challenge is to bravely and safely try something new, yoga, that will move your body, calm your mind and bolster your spirit.   
It is also Magical Monday...pay for the next order at the coffee shop, give a coworker a compliment, give up your spot in line for someone else. Just help someone enjoy a Magical Monday.  
Blessings    

Day 4~ Triad Challenge

Welcome to something meaningful: Keep it simple

 Mind: put the dishes away in a different order. If you have a dishwasher and you always do the top rack first then do the bottom rack first today. Sometimes we get into a routine it can become a rut.

Body: read the ingredient label on your snack. When it is a whole fruit or vegetable there is only one ingredient. An apple is one ingredient, but over 12000 nutrients that are meaningful to your cells.

Spirit: It is Monday. Be gentle with each other. Tell the person next to you ‘thank you for being here.’ If you can, make it a “Meaningful Magical Monday” for someone. Pay for the coffee for the car behind you, pay for the lunch of the table in the corner or pay someone’s fines at the library. Most important to a “Magical Monday” is making someone else smile; the best way to do that is to smile.  

If you are participating in filling a food box for your local food bank for thanksgiving think of making it an allergy free box. Poverty like cancer is not selective. People with food allergies struggle with economic hardship and often the assistance is not set up to accommodate, make it a point to help. You could do a gluten free box, egg free box, or a tree nut free box. You can include an extra grocery store gift card to be used in later months when there is not a holiday food box.
