A wonderful new year
Happy New Year to all!
I am going to do a fun gratitude practice for the whole year 2017:
At the end of every week I'm going to write on a piece of paper the most amazing or joyful or happy or positive thing that happened that week. Then I will fold up the paper and put it in a jar. At the end of the year I'll have 52 things to be wildly grateful for. Now how awesome is this exercise!!
I plan to read all 52 things on New years eve 2017.
If you do this too let me know at the end of the year.

A little time after shovelling
Make time for your self.
Child's pose
The more demanding your life the more you have to take time to take care of yourself.
When you are alive and thriving your light shines for all.
Little routine when you need to replenish. (after shovelling snow?)
Crocodile
The great rejuvenator.
Make a roll with blankets. Bring your legs up the wall and tuck blankets under your pelvis.
Cover your eyes with a towel or eye pillow.
Relax for 10 minutes.

Week 1 - homework
Self Care
Often we leave ourselves last. I'll do this if I have any time left. Left after what? Do self care first. It's like in the airplane. If the oxygen masks drop down, you put one on yourself first before you help others. Even your own child. No matter what. You can't help anyone when you are depleted. We have to learn this because we weren't often taught to do this and it may seem selfish. These two things are small steps but powerful steps. So go forth and do your homework.
Here is your homework for this week:
1 - Take a most luxurious bath.
Clean the bathtub first. Get some scents or salts for your bath. Take it slow. Take an hour for the whole experience. Be aware of your body and how it feels to step out of your clothes, how it feels to step into hot water, how water feels, how warmth feels, and how it is to take this time for yourself. Light a candle. Have a lovely glass of juice to drink. Do this at least once this week.
2 - Dance to your favourite music:
For five minutes or however long your music is, dance wildly in your kitchen. Do this every day for a week. It's a guaranteed energy boost.
