A few years ago, 2015, at my first big quiet in NYC. That’s me with @anastasiaalt in our blue 💙I was so stoked that we had a social group sharing mindfulness practices in an approachable. If you’re in LA today, don’t miss the opportunity to sit with an amazing community! @thebigquiet is transforming the Los Angeles Public Library, leading a simple meditation technique, plus performances, a sound bath and gifts from @sweetgreen @sajeWellness @1giantmind meditation @outdoorvoices ✨

So apparently, it’s Mental Health Awareness week... who hasn’t suffered anxiety, depression, addiction, obsession or fear?! Personally, I had a panic attack that sent me to the ER at 20. My mother has been medicated for mood disorders most my life. As a child, I had nervous triggers where I picked my skin obsessively. I had trouble focusing in school, although I’ve never been medicated (yoga & meditation helps). I’ve had loads of negative self talk. Mental affliction affects all types of people, no matter your background. I don’t see mental health as separate from all aspects of health. It’s another part of ourself we must look after— our brain, mind and thoughts. Our community, land, food, environmental toxins, media, relationships, emotions, movement, biology and thoughts can ALL affect our mind. We all suffer in some ways and the more we can be vulnerable about that, the more compassion we can have with each other. We shouldn’t be ashamed of these things. Let’s stop pretending we should be perfectly happy all the time. Peaceful maybe. Because peaceful acceptance is a choice that can exist with painful emotions as it comes from a deeper place. My mental health has improved from yoga, meditation, therapy, coaching, feeling my emotions, healthy organic foods, detoxing, sleep, comparing less, honest friendships and quiet time in nature. I feel better when I let my emotions out in my daily yoga. I’ve also seen first hand from my clients the powerful affect of truly listening without judgement or fixing. Our media & societal pressures to fit into idealized lifestyles causes self judgement. We avoid subconscious emotions when we try to be perfect, successful, happy & “fit in” & it’s also destroying our planet with mindless over consumption. In the past, I hid from my shadow by staying busy, shopping, and consuming media. Instead I hope we accept feeling sad, bored, afraid, lonely, tired, depressed, heart broken. it’s ok to not fit into a society that’s falsely advertised. Take time to listen daily, to feel your difficult emotions all the way without judgement and find a space or a person who supports you to navigate and move through it. Peace. 🙏🏻🍂🍁 📷@sfreneenyc
