A new practice that we have been encouraging our clients to implement in their lives is Daily Self-Compassion.

Are the people closest to you safe? Is your home safe? Is your workplace safe? Your answers to these questions are important. Very important. And we encourage you to take some time today to really think them through because in order to thrive and show up in life as the best version of yourself, your relationships, home, and work must be safe.

Change is unavoidable, and no matter whether we experience the change as good or bad, change can still knock us off our center. So, if you are struggling with change at this time, please extend lots and lots of understanding and empathy to yourself.

If you find yourself at a crossroads, where you know it is time to move on and let something or someone go, yet there is a part of you that wants to hold on, please have compassion for yourself and recognize that you are not alone in your struggle.

Springtime. The weather is warming up, we're spending more time outdoors, and many of us feel a sense of renewal. Along with all these beautiful aspects of spring, we must add activities such as outside cleanup, gardening, and planting flowers.

Last Tuesday evening, as the attendees of our Enneagram 1 class were packing up to leave, we had a quick discussion that has stuck with us. Our discussion began with someone commenting that it is sad that when people are unhealthy and behave in ways that do not serve themselves or others, the “good” they have done in their lives is forgotten or diminished.

With all that is happening in our country, communities, neighborhoods, families, and personal relationships, we want us all to take this week to ask ourselves: Am I Being Kind?
