Cognitive Conservatism
I’ve been reflecting on the idea of a Self-Care “Mindset Re-set.”
In week 1 of Consistency Counts Course, I introduced the concept of “Cognitive Conservatism” which means that we behave in ways that support and sustain a specific image of ourselves, even if that image is no longer accurate.
When we are looking to make positive changes in our lives, possibly the most difficult thing to change is our own self-concept.
The images we hold of ourselves are remarkably stable overtime because it expends less metabolic energy to SUSTAIN a current mindset (or habit) than it does to change it.
When it comes to Self-Care, most of us need a “MINDSET RE-SET.”

Enrollment Closes TOMORROW!
I created this course because my clients tell me ALL the time,
“I feel SOOOO good after a Yoga Therapeutics Session with you. I wish I would do this every day, but it’s so hard for me to practice at home.”
My 4-week online course “Consistency Counts” is the solution because:
accountability actually matters, individualized instruction is inspiring and consistency counts.

Brushing Teeth
My daughter recently told me that she didn’t need to brush her teeth because she “already did that yesterday” and she can just “go back to the dentist to get them cleaned.” 🙄
I get it: it's hard to form healthy habits.
It’s even harder when these healthy habits are judged to be selfish or luxurious, don’t uphold the ideal of the “human giver” complex that most adult women have been taught is the highest ideal of worth, or don’t contribute financially to the beauty-product-bikini-industrial-complex. ✨
The truth is this: self-care habits that attend to your mental, spiritual and physical health are absolutely VITAL. ✨
And what you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while. ✨
Which is why I want you to join my 4- week program: “Consistency Counts.”

FULL MUG
Recently, my sweet sweet best friend fur-baby RussellClive began a new habit:
purposefully spilling my morning coffee mug so he can lap it up off the floor.
I do NOT need to tell you how I feel about this, right? It’s sacrilege.
Some mornings I am, naturally, more compassionate and mindful about his senior-dog behaviors. I sigh like the world is ending and silently grab the roll of paper towels.
Most mornings, however, I am overflowing with frustration and at the end of my proverbial patience string. I am less-than-silent and less-than-kind about my spilled coffee. (IT’S MY COFFFEE!)
Ladies, gentlemen, humans, (and fur-humans,) I’m here to tell you:
YOU ARE ALWAYS A FULL MUG, about to be bumped and spilled.
The question is this:
what are you filled with and what will spill out?
