Have you been feeling stuck this summer?

The great news is, summer is a great time to be spontaneous.

What is one area of your life you would like to change? When we sit quietly, answers often appear as if by magic. This is why in Writing Yoga®, we Sit, Write, and Move - and sitting is an integral part of a Writing Yoga® practice!

This week, head onto the blog to Sit, Write and Move to get unstuck this summer!

In yoga and meditation we often speak of "monkey mind." It's as if a monkey is swinging in your gray matter while your focus tries to follow. Good luck following that monkey. All you can do is slow it down because there will always be distractions.

This week, we have a Writing Yoga® Sit, Write, Move exercise for you to help you trust your focus!

Happy reading, and stay luminous!

Feeling stuck?

Summer is a great time to be spontaneous!

Jump in a jalopy, splash at the shore, or kick up the grass and go on foot because it's time to get outside and do something different. Whenever you feel as if you're standing still or moving backwards, try changing directions. Move forward differently.

What is one area of your life you would like to change? When we sit quietly, answers often appear as if by magic.

Take some time this summer to Sit, Write, and Move - here is an example you can follow to feel luminous!

Studies show having FOMO, aka Fear of Missing Out, can increase anxiety and depression. The US surgeon general released a report in 2023 on how especially bad it is for kids. Social media, of course, is largely to blame.

No wonder; it seems like everyone on social media has the most fabulous clothes, hair, makeup and friends. They are wildly successful. And here you are just trying to get through the day.

Stefanie Maura, the founder of Writing Yoga®, keeps this quote near her desk, "Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakes." - Carl Jung

What does that mean to you? To Stefanie, it's understanding that we have the inner capability to do our best work in the world. The light is within us.

This week, go within. Experience JOMO, the joy of missing out!

Have you ever lost a journal? It can be pretty unsettling. Your precious words are left exposed on the café table, the back pocket of an airplane seat or buried in sand after rushing to leave the beach in a sudden storm.

At Writing Yoga®, we use a journal every time we Sit, Write, and Move. Journaling is pretty important! But what if you lose your journal?

For this week’s Write exercise, write about a time you lost your journal. If that has never happened to you, imagine how you would feel if it did. What would you do if all of your deepest desires and secrets disappeared? Where would it travel to? Who would find it? (Make up a villain if you want!)

Losing something deeply meaningful stirs up a strange mix of nostalgia, frustration, and, often, helplessness. But loss, for all its discomfort, has something to teach us about ourselves and our relationship to the world.

Head on the blog to read about what you can do if you actually do lose your journal!
