I’m fiiiinnnallly going on holiday(!! ☀️☀️) BUT whilst excited for a week away, I’m super stressed about leaving my dog behind. It feels crazy to be so anxious, but I am I’ve never spent so long away from her since she stole my heart two years ago, and I’m breaking a little at the thought of her worrying about where I’ve gone. As I’m making her dinners up for the next week and packing her bed and bits for her dog sitter, I feel sick I NEED to de-stress and right now yoga is the only way I know how #positivevibes PLEASE FIND ME #imrighthere ⬆️♀️
#yogalife #beingmindful #justaminute #OfCourseMyDogWillBeFine - she’ll probably have a better week than me

There is this connection to acting and martial arts. Just like dancing and sports there is this zone you allow yourself to get in. Artist and creatives have to be in this moment to moment focused attention. This focused attention gets so involved that eventually you relax, release, and let go of the moment. You give it freedom to be. What is great about acting and martial arts is you become present with another human. You allow the present moment to bounce back and forth. Your observation of the other human being is able to sway your thoughts, body, and feelings. By giving up the control and allowing the partner, or other fighter to affect you, then you aren’t thinking about how to approach, which arm to swing, which leg to kick and for acting your emotional reaction of the moment will change every take if you are living off of the context of your partner and given circumstances. .
On the opposite side.
In every day life the world is our partner. Be present and be aware of the signs and feelings and emotions that the world has to offer. Breathe and this calm collectiveness will also give you freedom to not over think but also give you the separation from emotional reaction. It gives you the chance to choose your reaction in Your mindfulness. .

Forgive yourself for not ⠀
Knowing better at the time. ⠀
Forgive yourself for giving ⠀
Away your power. ⠀
Forgive yourself for your ⠀
Past behaviors. ⠀
Forgive yourself for the ⠀
Survival patterns and traits ⠀
You picked up while ⠀
Enduring trauma. ⠀
⠀
Forgive yourself for being ⠀
Who you needed to be ⠀
To survive. ✨⠀
⠀
Forgiveness is something I have spent ⠀
Years working on — forgiving myself ⠀
For not loving myself enough, to know ⠀
When to walk away from something ⠀
That was negative and toxic — ⠀
Something that wound up causing me ⠀
A great deal of pain. ⠀
⠀
I’ve gone through stages of being angry ⠀
At him, at myself, at the legal system that ⠀
Failed to make me feel any safer or ⠀
Less wounded in my own home — in ⠀
My own skin. ⠀
⠀
I’ve been angry at myself for feeling ⠀
Anger at all — which is so silly, because ⠀
Even though we want to be, we strive to⠀
Be, positive and hopeful all the time, it ⠀
Is perfectly normal to feel angry ⠀
Sometimes — healthy even. ⠀
⠀
We’re only human, we were never crafted ⠀
To be perfect, and it wouldn’t be authentic ⠀
To sit here and tell you that I have done ⠀
No wrong, because that would be a ⠀
Big fat lie. ⠀
⠀
I’ve made mistakes, poor judgements, ⠀
I’ve been hurt, but I’ve hurt people too,⠀
But I am still worthy of forgiveness, ⠀
Because I deserve peace — the same is ⠀
True for you as well. ⠀
⠀
You’re allowed to feel what you need to⠀
Feel in order to process through what ⠀
You’re going through, you’re allowed to⠀
Experience the emotions and the ⠀
Emotional barriers you need to overcome. ⠀
⠀
You’re allowed to face them head on,⠀
Put up a good fight, but then you also ⠀
Have to learn to move on, to let go of ⠀
Anger, of resentment, of pain, of loss,⠀
Because at some point you need to ⠀
Realize — these feelings are temporary,⠀
They’re fleeting, but your inner peace, ⠀
Your balance, that needs to be maintained ⠀
Forever more. ⠀
⠀
So, if you need to choose, pick forgiveness, ⠀
Because you are worthy of the inner⠀
Peace you’ve been chasing after, ⠀
While battling the demons you needed⠀
To face in order to obtain it in the first place. ⠀
⠀
You’re allowed to be exactly who you ⠀
Need to be in order to survive.
When a flower doesn’t bloom, ⠀
You fix the environment it grows in,⠀
Not the flower itself. ⠀
⠀
The same is true when someone is ⠀
Struggling — you need to change your ⠀
Toxic environment, and watch how ⠀
Quickly your positivity returns. ⠀
⠀
A toxic home environment, or work ⠀
Environment can really be damaging ⠀
To your mental health, and by ⠀
Extension, your physical wellness as well. ⠀
⠀
If you’re feeling unhappy, down or just ⠀
Downright depressed, I urge you to ⠀
Check your environment, both the ⠀
Physical environment and the company ⠀
You keep nearby. ⠀
⠀
Negative energies surrounding us ⠀
Have a way of sleeping into our own ⠀
Vibrational frequency, trying to drag it ⠀
Down to its own crummy level. ⠀
⠀
Fix your environment, whatever it may be⠀
And watch yourself flourish, as you ⠀
Were meant to be. ⠀
⠀
Wishing you all a beautiful Thursday afternoon full of lots of love and light. ⠀
Take care of your energy, today and every day. ✨
Thanks @refillwhitstable for brining this to our attention. What a result from Glastonbury what a statement to make!! ✌ , if you are heading to Glastonbury don’t forget your reusables. Shop at our store to see full range of reusable products, link in bio. . . see full story below Single-use plastic bottles are to be banned from sale at Glastonbury.
An announcement on the festival's website said the containers would not be supplied backstage, nor to catering or production staff.
Festivalgoers have also been urged to carry "as little single-use plastic as possible". Organiser Emily Eavis encouraged ticket-holders to bring reusable bottles and said "hundreds of free water taps" would be available.
A Glastonbury spokesman said more than one million plastic bottles were sold at 2017's event.
Ms Eavis said it was "paramount for our planet" to reduce plastic consumption. "I'm thrilled that, together, we'll be able to prevent over a million single-use plastic bottles from being used at this year's festival." Acts confirmed for this year's event include Janelle Monae, Stormzy and Kylie Minogue.
The festival, held in Pilton, Somerset, since 1970, had a "fallow year" in 2018 to allow the ground to recover. #plasticfree #eco #planet #savetheplanet #trashisfortossers #reuse #recycle #smallchanges #bigimpact #waterbottle #instaenvironment #beingmindful #oceans #waste #singleuseplastic #plasticsucks #environmental #helping
This year, I made a New Years Resolution for the very first time; that I would go on (at least) one hike a month for all of 2019. I plan on documenting this experience publicly so that I can hold myself accountable for a little promise I made myself.
