“Stop overthinking!”

Do you shout this to yourself, too? I’m reading “The 5-Second Rule” and now more than ever in my head I hear, “Go! Just GO!” It’s hard sometimes to get past self-doubt, perfectionism, and all that other self-inhibiting garbage. So many opportunities for richer connections, better health, and more success are lost when we wallow in indecisiveness and often, ultimately, in inaction.

Today, take some small step toward something you want that will make your life better. It doesn’t have to be big. It just has to happen.

What will it be?

Whether you ask this through Christ, Vishnu, Allah, the energy of the universe, or the deepest regions of your heart, I do hope you will ask it.

Focus on what lifts you. ❤️

I try hard to value my age, and to see the beauty and value of those older than myself. I fight falling in line with the pedophilic view of western beauty (doe-baby eyes, hairless like a pre-teen, and fpuppy-love smooth skin). Valuing where we are now is the practice of loving oneself honestly... keep practicing and change yourself, and your world. ❤️

I love aging, and I think one of the worst lies patriarchy tells women is that aging makes us irrelevant and worthless, that aging is something to be ashamed of. As with everything in patriarchy this lie has a malicious intention, and it runs like a straight line through patriarchy’s stories of wicked witches and scary crones. Aging women, older women are stronger women, more independent women, women who’ve lost their insecurities and who do not live to please, and there’s no bigger threat to the system of male dominance and female subordination. Of course women need to be taught to worship youth and of course older women need to be hidden away under notions of them being irrelevant and pathetic or strange, because otherwise women would be much more difficult to control, and older women would take over the world. The strength women unfold within themselves when they get older is unyielding; it stands tall as a tree and has deep, deep roots. Men have much to loose in women realizing this. Women have everything to gain.

I just have to share with You my class member Susie. At 71 she’s just back from a solo trip to Bhutan and Nepal where she hiked at over 13,000 feet!... 😮... Susie came to me after class today to thank me for helping her breathe properly! She told me that it really helped her on the tough parts of her hike.... 🏔... What’s really cool to me is that she invited her friends to join her on this trip, but none of them would go. She asked her husband to come, but he does not like to travel and would not go either.… 😕... But Susie had a vision, and she decided to go on this adventure anyway on her own, and ended up having an amazing experience! 🌟😀. #fearless #inspiration #pilates #justbreathe #treat @univfamilyymca (at University Family YMCA) https://www.instagram.com/teammona/p/BpnrGoDFOcG/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=12capu9j7hae7
