SUNDAY SELF CARE JOURNAL

BRING YOUR OWN JOY  | VOL.55 | 2021

Dear First name / sweet friend

I was elated to teach a yoga class outdoors this weekend with my friend Lisa (we are doing another for the Summer Solstice - June 19, tickets releasing next week!) and we talked a lot about JOY.  

Joy is defined as gladness NOT based on circumstance.  And I love that reminder….so many of us (myself included) look to have “joy” when things are attained in our lives…(ex I will feel happy when “x” happens in my life")…but the most important word in the phrase “choose joy” isn't “joy".  It's “choose”.  We have the CHOICE to choose it - ANYWAY.  

I think that it takes courage to choose joy REGARDLESS.  We are not conditioned in our society to have that be our reflex.  It's a very brave decision about how we want to show up and react in spite of what is happening around us.

To end class, I challenged everyone to share in a mantra this week “bring your own joy” and notice how it changes your world - if you weren't in class with us, I challenge you to do the same 💕.

JOYFUL LITTLE THINGS

If bringing your own joy hasn't been instinct lately, it just takes a little practice to build the habit back!  

What are the little things in your life that make you smile?

What are you grateful for in your life?

What is one thought joyful that I can go to when stressful things come up around me?

What is a daily morning practice that I can add in that reminds me of what I'm grateful for?

What can I do for others that helps to spread joy and makes me happy?

UPCOMING EVENTS

Join MoonRise Self Care for mini stay-at-home-retreat style weekly classes, special events & some socially distanced in-person events.

Please reserve your spot for each class.

The moon is our closest celestial neighbor and powerfully influences every living thing on our planet. Within 28 days, the moon passes through 8 phases, each with its own unique characteristics. The full moon is the middle of this cycle, and the time that we celebrate where we are at and release things that are no longer serving us.

Tonight's practice will encourage you to tap into the energy behind this specific full moon in a way that serves your life.

​Grab a crystal that is resonating with you this month and bring it to your mat if you would like! You can use it during your practice and set new intentions with it as a part of your full moon ritual.

Lemurian Seed Quartz Crystals are some of the first that I began learning about and working with!  These were some of the first that my mentor from Brazil discovered and began to share about.  

These rare and beautiful master crystals are said to awaken the spirit, strengthening one's wisdom.  The crystal interacts with every chakra, bringing balance to the body.  Originally found by an ancient civilization called Lemuria, these stones are said to reconnect past knowledge to the present, and hold ancient wisdom.  Because of this, Lemurian Quartz is a powerful stone to increase your bond to the spiritual world.

For the month of May, please enjoy 20% off all Lemurian Quartz + Diamantina Clear Quartz Crystals with code QUARTZMAGIC

I'm so excited for this new weekly section!  Each week, I'll be featuring a piece from our athleisure collection that I adore.  You see, for me - self care is in the little details.  I find that my life is more fulfilled when I concentrate on the things in my daily action that feel good - like taking a few minutes to enjoy a cup of tea;  dressing in clothing that feels amazing, hangs with me all day & makes me feel beautiful; sitting in a yin pose when I need to ground; following the moon phases; becoming conscious of my water intake…you get the point!

The athleisure brand that I have partnered with lifts my heart.  We focus on size inclusivity, empowering women, and eco-friendly clothing that moves with us throughout our busy days.  I love to share it with you because of how it uplifts your life as well!

MANTRA LEGGING

The Mantra Legging is a beautiful seamless legging with flattering design details on the legs. The fabric is textured to provide moisture wicking performance. Seamless construction provides comfort and flexibility.  Waistband has ribbed design that beautifully matches the detail on the front and back panels. Another benefit of seamless construction is that these leggings can easily crossover into everyday outfits.

QUARTZ CRYSTAL SALT BATH CLEANSE | May Self Care Ritual

Offering up benefits of de-stressing, adding moisture to the skin, soothing pain and so much more, the ancient practice of bathing in salt water is one of the most basic and transformative self care go-to's today….

I'm sharing with you a Quartz Crystal Salt Bath ritual that is SO calming and divine, it's just lovely and so beneficial.  I think you'll love it!
