when your body says yes


I’ve spent a large chunk of this morning being “lazy,” binge-watching Starting Five on Netflix, getting ideas out of my head and into Notion, and researching different breathwork training programs--it's been extremely refreshing being lazy for a bit.

Now isn’t the time, but in the next year, I’d like to start a program to become a breathwork facilitator to use in my LifeDesign+ work and even do small group sessions. I know that becoming a great facilitator will require me to learn different modalities for different occasions and needs. I don’t know which is “best,” but I don’t need to know that to get started–I’ve already ordered some books to begin reading as I continue my research for the right training.

One of the trainings I found today had an introductory video with the founder, and she casually mentioned something that I loved,

“When the body says yes, you’ll figure out the rest.”
- Samantha Skelly

How many times have you felt like you were supposed to do something, but your mind talked you out of it?

“That’s crazy.”

“You can’t do that.”

“You won’t have the time.”

“There’s no way you will be able to accomplish that.”

When your body tells you to do something or move in a new direction, listen to it more than what your mind tells you—you can bring your mind up to speed later.

As the quote suggests, the doubts your mind presents will be overcome when you follow what your body tells you.

See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,

JC

A friend told me a story his pastor shared, and I've been thinking about it a lot lately: A father and son planned a road trip across the desert. This trip happened before cell phones, GPS devices, and modern technology that makes traveling easy, and the risk of getting lost very, very low. Armed with just a map and a full tank of gas, the father and son began their trip. After a couple of hours on the road, they arrived at a fork in the road—a fork that wasn’t on their map. Confused by the...

As I mentioned in yesterday’s Note, I started the day being lazy–laying on the couch, binge-watching Starting Five on Netflix, and researching different breathwork trainings. My lazy Sunday didn’t stop there. I did some reading.I watched some football.I took a couple of short naps.I cut the backyard.I watched two movies on the couch with Silas in the evening. I didn’t think about work, I didn’t think about writing anything, and I didn’t feel the need to be on my computer planning for the...

Happy Saturday--here's this week's Daily Notes and while there wasn't a new episode of LifeDesign+, I did have my appearance on my friend Bogumil Baranowski's podcast, Talking Billions, drop this week. This was such an enjoyable conversation and an honor--I've been a fan of Talking Billions since Bogumil dropped episode 30 and he's now over 100 episodes. I've always admired his interviewing style and the caliber of guests. To be an alum of Talking Billions is a huge compliment! In this...
