Day 25: Rest, Rock, ‘n’ Roll

Resting up for a race in two days means less yang/working out and more yin/recharging! I’m deep-cleaning the house we’ve been housesitting/dogsitting at, but I’m pacing myself, adding extra rest time in between tasks.

Morning stats

Yang/firing up:

Yin/cooling down:

  • morning mantra: “I’m grateful for the wonderful people in my life. Today will be a great day. I will spread love.”
  • 4 minute meditation
  • 10 minutes of earthing
  • 15 minutes of stretching/yoga
  • no social media until 9am
“We could never learn to be brave and patient if there were only joy in the world. ~Helen Keller

Day 24: Hungry For More

Meditating, earthing, and listening to motivational videos in the morning has felt so good that I often find myself wanting to do a bit more in the afternoon or evening, if I can squeeze any time in to do it during the busyness of everyday life.
