your daily rock : quiet your mind
2013 is ending tonight at midnight. To honor what it was and to open space for what will be, sit quietly today for 10 minutes (or longer). Quiet your mind. Rest those skittering thoughts and worries. Let them float across your field of vision and disappear like puffy clouds. They’ll …
your daily rock : let loose
We are often constrained, or feel that we are. What might happen if we let loose? If we danced on the beach or said WOW when we saw a bus? I’ve been listening and watching Pharrell Williams’ 24-hour music video: 24 Hours of Happy. Have you seen it? Watch it …
your daily rock : embrace it
What we resist becomes stronger, bigger, more fierce. The waves crash more, the space taken up in our hearts and minds by what we are resisting gets more and more crowded and paralyzing. What we fight against becomes our Kryptonite. What if we stop fighting? What if looking for things …
your daily rock : give comfort
“But Piglet is so small that he slips into a pocket, where it is very comfortable to feel him when you are not quite sure whether twice seven is twelve or twenty-two.” ? A.A. Milne, Winnie-the-Pooh I hope you can find a way to be a little Piglet for someone today. Tuck …
your daily rock : reconnect
As this year winds down, reconnect. Reconnect with people you love and have lost touch with. Reconnect with your inner child, that little self that was full of wonder. Reconnect with the beat of your own heart. Reconnect with all you have ever wished for. Reconnect with your capacity to …
your daily rock : transform
My friend Laurie Foley taught me this, a knowing borne of her journey with ovarian cancer: We have the capacity to transform states of energy. From terror to the energy of presence and love. From fear to hope. From hate to love. In Laurie’s words, “How do you want …
your daily rock : you make a difference
Here’s the deal. You make a difference in ways you can never know. For all the people who might tell you what a difference you make, there are so very many more who don’t say it, but feel it. It might not seem that way. But it is. Trust this …
your daily rock : you know the answer
You know the answer. Some days it really doesn’t feel that way. It seems like everyone else knows, but you don’t. Some days it’s really easy to doubt yourself, to wonder where to look for answers. Some days it’s too easy to ask “why” you feel a certain way–asking “why” …
your daily rock : feel good now
Don’t postpone happy. Don’t postpone joy. Don’t postpone eating well. Don’t postpone moving your body. It is no badge of honor to put yourself last, work too hard, eat on the run, sit too long, be too important to play. Don’t postpone feeling good right now. Love, (These …
your daily rock : tell it like it is
Sometimes we don’t “tell it like it is” for fear of disrupting the calm we hope to maintain (keeping in mind there is no “is” that is the same for everyone, so we would be telling our “is,” and not assuming it is someone else’s “is”). Sometimes, we’re ill-equipped to tell it …
