Rec | CHILD’S POSE

🧘‍♀️

i could literally stay in child’s pose for hours but i fear when i came out of it i would have a permanent red circle on my forehead. it opens the hips and releases built up tension, it clears the sinuses, it relieves headaches, it’s a good stretch for the shoulders, it stimulates the third eye point…yoga with adriene describes it as “entering your own personal love cave” because when you open your eyes, all you see is the little spaces between your nose and your knees and your mat, and it makes me feel like i’m chillin in the womb again in the best way. if people hit child’s pose more often i think there would be peace on earth.

you can also add a blanket between your butt and ankles and that’s uber comfy

Broken toe pose

My favorite yoga instructor Starlite has us sit in this for who knows how long (time ceases to exist) and it’s a phenomenal practice of detaching from your thoughts and feelings and finding a sense of peace even when uncomfortable. I find myself craving this pose and I can feel when my body needs it. I choose to believe that it somehow is beneficial to my entire system because years ago I decided to look up the soles of the feet through the lens of reflexology and I remember there being pressure points for every organ. I am a better functioning human thanks to broken toe pose, and you can be too 🙏

Yoga

It’s so yummy delicious to stretch your body in all sorts of poses and directions, let your thoughts gradually fade away as you gain more focus on your body, become aware of every inch of it… perfect way to end a day if you ask me :)

one sec

it's this app where you can create a shortcut on whichever app(s) you want (i.e. social media ones you spend too much time on), and every time you open those apps, it makes you wait like 10 seconds and shows you how many times you've opened that app in the last 24 hours. has literally cut my social media usage by nearly half and makes me way more intentional about social media use bc half the time i'm opening those apps out of habit.

PUTTING A MOVIE ON IN THE BACKGROUND AT A PARTY

i love putting on a movie on low volume with subtitles as ambiance when i’m hosting a party. not only does it make for excellent vibes, but it’s a great thing to have when someone needs a break from the social battery of it all and can zone out without looking at their phone. also a great convo starter if people don’t know each other - like here’s something happening before your very eyes that’s a safe and easy topic to discuss and bond over. taking suggestions for my upcoming “spring fling” themed party this weekend <3
