Hey 👋🏽,

Happy one hour less sleep day. I hope the sun is shining wherever you are to balance out that bleary eyed feeling and that even if not, you can feel that spring is finally within reach.

Thanks to every Valentine’s Day card ever, I’ve always associated the heart with the color red. In chakra meditation though, you visualize green, welcoming the new life of spring that brings nourishment, renewal and healing into your heart with each breath. With new life comes a beginners mindset, the opportunity to start again.

I feel the numbness of a Narnia length winter starting to fade and in its place, an ability to feel that reminds me of the before days. Did we skip this transition entirely last year? Instead of getting the energy boost of spring awakening we expended our energy trying to find toilet paper and save our jobs and our kids’ lives and to just survive, taking it one day at a time. Did seasons even exist last year?

As we slowly transition out of our longest modern hibernation with masks on and distance kept, I hope that I never forget to remember spring again or to embrace the openness and vulnerability it brings. When times are hard and the scarcity mindset reigns we close off and shut down, forgetting that openness helps us connect more deeply to build the village it takes to live. Vulnerability can breed resilience, and vulnerability isn’t something you can do alone.

I’ve felt stupid several times this week and noticed how happy it’s made me to feel stupid, to be disappointed, to fail or f*ck up without any shame. To come back to feeling, to life. Laughing at myself, finally dethawing. In class, I’ll often say “nothing last forever, just long enough.” Enough, winter. Welcome spring.

I see you, I love you, let’s have a great week,

P.S. Workout with me or enjoy some new workout music.
