In a Bad Mood?

Listen to some music to change your mood.
Take a walk to change your mood.
Go to a bakery and take in the scent to change your mood.
Eat something delicious to change your mood.
Take in the beauty of someone you love to change your mood.
Feel the essence of who you are to change your mood.
Help someone in need to change your mood.
Tell someone you love them to change your mood.
Love yourself more to change your mood.
Practice gratitude to change your mood.
You get the idea…

It Really Is All About Love-- Summer Session Closing Thoughts

I leave you with these thoughts as we venture into the coolness of autumn
Take what you practice on the mat— off the mat— and into your life
Deep breaths, long limbs, lifted crowns, rooted stances that steady your days
Take your long spine and empowered core with you as you travel
Sink deep into the Earth when you feel untethered
Lift your crown to the heavens affirming the connection to all that is
Take your strength and flexibility into the most heated of days
Let your vibrancy be contagious, shining it when humanity feels dull
Lead with an open heart
Let your love spill out and heal this imperfect world.
And please remember, for this day and the days ahead—
It really is all about love.
