Hello—
…and so we come to the end of February.
This year, we get an extra day known as leap day, which was originally established as a corrective measure so our calendar syncs more closely with the seasons.
Through the ages, it has been seen as both an omen and sign of great good luck. So what if we don't take either extreme position and just allow Our Selves to appreciate this added 24 hours to our lives.
This is a good time to "practice your practice" and to act on what speaks to you:
Do you honor or even celebrate this leap day? Is it a chance to reset your own personal rhythm? shut down and chill out? finish a project that's been lingering? spend a little more time with those who matter to you? is a ritual called for? It's up to you—"dealer's choice".
And while you're pondering this, let's enjoy a bit of wordplay.
"Enough" (2:31)—Here’s a little riffing on the various concepts of the word enough—as a reframe, a buzz phrase and even a mantra. (YouTube Link or Facebook Link).
"Indeed" (1:51)—Let’s dive into the word indeed and see how it reflects what it can take to move through a challenge. (YouTube Link or Facebook Link).
How do you experience the notion of enough? Is it indeed reflected in how you move through your day ? Share your thoughts with us by commenting on one or both videos.
And after you've screened these replays, check out a few of my other SwaffWords© on the art of Listening with your Bodymind—
"There is so much gold here."
All SwaffWords© videos ("mini sessions"—about three minutes or less ) are either on my YouTube Channel or in my Facebook Video Library. Check out the playlists and when a topic speaks to you, just click on the video. Then watch, learn, and take the teachings back into your life.
Is there someone you know who needs to receive these weekly SwaffWords© directly to their inbox? If so, you can either forward them this email or they
can subscribe here.
And if you're interested to know a bit more about my style and how I offer this work, we can connect in other ways:
My Facebook community of like-minded people offers daily posts, prompts and reminders for your ongoing practice.
Rapid Bodymind Clarity reflects my "straight, no chaser" approach and the immediate impact it can have on your life.
Or we could chat—either through my site or via email.
In the meantime, here's to indeed settling into what "enough" means to you as you draw on your courage for the deeds at hand.
May we all mine our riches so that we may live our blessings.
Here's to your heart's ease…❤️
Thanks much.
Until next time—
Cheers,
Steph
