Basic skills on the yoga mat include even pressure distributed through both feet in mountain pose or a fluid Sun A. In meditation, it’s closing the eyes and becoming more aware of the moment—whether that’s tuning to the space between your thoughts, a sensation on the skin, or the pulse of your heartbeat. What are you trying to master? And what basic steps are you deliberately repeating today to express the best version of yourself in those actions?

I’m almost done with the final draft of my upcoming book (details coming soon). Mastery in my writing comes from putting words to paper daily. I love the many aspects of this life journey. What about you?

“It’s a new dawn, it’s a new day, it’s a new life... and I’m feeling good...” These lyrics from Michael Buble’s #feelinggood song are how I feel today. And I just love how getting up from a meditation or yoga practice boost my energy. I focused as I write. I’m grounded as I breathe. I accept myself in the moment and I’m eager for more. #simplethings

The heart is the largest source of bio-electricity in the body and it creates an electromagnetic field around the body. The size of this field changes based on your emotional state. Basically, your mood is encoded in the heart’s magnetic field.... which is how you can Gauge the vibe of someone else without them saying a word. Today, I encourage you to expand your field from a place if alignment... from a place of inner knowing or satisfaction. Not feelin’ that right now? Close your eyes, tune in to the beat of your heart, and appreciate your ability to breath. Like and comment on this post to be entered into this week’s #3hproject meditation challenge. Winner announced Sunday.

Structure gives you a framework from which to have more freedom, creativity, and energy. In meditation, I often focus on the energy centers to increase their well-being. At work, I spend the last few minutes of my day organizing my desk and planning my tomorrow. It’s with these simple systems I stay energized and efficient. What’s your secret to inner, and outer, balance?

Did you know that your heart and brain create rhythms? If you are stressed, the incoherent, jagged, and irregular. This prevents the body parts from working together. Yet if you focus on appreciation and cultivate a relaxed, presence in the moment, the patterns move into coherence. This leads to greater mental clarity, improved cognitive function, and harmony in your body systems. Today, spend a few minutes focusing on the beat of your heart. Pair that attention with an elevated emotion and watch what happens internally. It doesn’t take long to shift yourself back into a life-affirming space!

It’s like hanging out with a best friend where you can show up as you are and speak few words (and still have the best time ever)
