Flirting with a panic attack - just me?
|
I'm used to unplugging for an hour or more at a time. When I'm doing massage or coaching, I don't look at my phone. But outside of sessions, I'm just like everyone else. If I don't watch it, I'll waste all kinds of time on things that don’t matter. And with the news, I can start flirting with a panic attack. I don't want to live there. I'm all for being informed and taking action, but I'm also aware that unplugging from my device grounds me and increases my joy for my life. There's a power in noticing what's happening right now, around you. Right now, I have a snoring chihuahua tucked in a blanket beside me. I can see the mid-morning sun illuminating the plants in our front yard. The potatoes I'm roasting are dispersing an aroma of garlic and ginger. I'm writing you an email to help bring a little peace and calm into your life. Life is pretty okay, despite it all. How about you, Reader? What's something sweet or beautiful or kind that you can find around you? Take it in. Don't let your device rule your life. You’re in charge. I'm working on a project right now to help you create a healthier relationship with devices and would love your help. Would you take 2 minutes and answer these questions? Click here. And please write back and let me know how you're doing. In Joy, Nyssa

The dust of the New Year is settling. Projects be project-ing. Tasks might be piling up. And what about that thing you said, "2025 will be the year I ..." If overwhelm is creeping in, make this one habit something you DID do in 2025: Never have more than 3 priorities. Seriously, Reader, this message made it to your inbox because it was one of my 3 priorities for today. (It works!) I start the day knowing what critical few things need my attention most, so at least those few things get done....
Kelly and I's latest project has been choosing the songs for our wedding dance party next month. 💃🏻🕺🏽 Not easy with so many songs to choose from! So we’ve been using the Tear Test. If the song’s intro or title makes one of us cry, it's clear YES. 👉This is also a great indicator of how to set goals for your life. One of the first things I do with coaching clients is help them get clear on what’s most important. It's amazing how challenging knowing what you really want can be. If thinking of a...
"Nyssa, I feel like I haven't seen you in forever." The yoga teacher at my home studio came over to hug me. She hadn’t seen me because it’s been months since I’ve come for regular practice. I joked that now I’ll come almost daily for about 2 weeks before I don't come again for months. She gave me a knowing laugh. "We all do that," she confessed. "That's the practice." We talk about our yoga practice, meditation practice, writing practice, or our fill-in-the-blank practice, like it's about the...
