A huge thank you to everyone who joined me at one of the EXPECT MORE FROM 2024 events in the last couple of weeks.
They were all very different, but at each one I felt surrounded by amazing humans and as if I was in exactly the right place.
You really are a wonderful bunch!
There was meditation, in some cases restorative yoga, mantra creation, deep reflection, contemplation, sharing, conversation, new connections, tears and laughter.
Thank you also for the phenomenal feedback - it means the world to me.
Thank you to everyone who came for your willingness to participate fully, to be open and vulnerable alongside new friends and to take the time out of your week to show up fully for yourself.
Thank you also to all my new subscribers - I'm so happy you've found FEEL GOOD FRIDAY! I look forward to sharing well-being delights with you every week and getting to know you.
Talking of showing up fully:
In most yoga classes I teach, at some point towards the end of class, I'll say something like,
"tune into how your body is feeling - what does your body need right now?"
I'm really good at asking other people this question and I'm always curious to witness their response.
BUT, as it turns out, I'm not so good at asking myself.
I was rushing around this morning, hanging out the second load of laundry (cause the sun was out)!! and a thought popped into my head.
What does Adrienne need today?
The response was clear - REST today. So, I'm going to listen. Move some things around, take my time and then go out with a friend later into the sunshine where fun conversations and belly laughs are guaranteed!
It feels like the right time to share this poem with you:
Go into this week with the attitude that your peace, your health of mind and your heart mean more than getting everything else done.
Your smile matters.
That feeling rested matters.
That holding the hands of your loved ones matters.
So, pause lots, function at a pace that doesn't pull you apart.
Honour the things that make you feel alive.
Give time to those things this week.
Make time the gift it is by giving it to what really matters to you.
- S C Lourie
Remember - YOUR SMILE MATTERS,
Adrienne x
