Calm in the Chaos
This week, I’ve been focusing on finding calm in the chaos, joy in the unknown, and trust in the process.
Life has been feeling a bit more crazy than normal with lots of academic commitments and not knowing what I want to do or where I want to live in my upcoming gap year.
Here’s a little starter pack for finding more calm in the chaos:
1) Music, music, music. Here’s the playlist I made for my yoga classes this week! https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5VIMFojGowrsXtmxQUoFUn?si=wfItFPWlRKWhOreho8s0mQ
2. Exercise is one of my favorite pick-me-ups. On some days, I crave a more grounding yoga practice; on others, I feel like riding super fast in a spin class. Honor your body and mind, and what both are telling you to do.
3. Use quotes as inspiration and maybe even make a mood board: “Before you try to make it day by day, try to take it step by step, as you slowly make your way from one avenue to the next. For you do not know what to expect between the buildings, under trees, and beyond the urgent rush of things, but you can be still, look up, breathe deep, and believe: even here, right now, there is more than what you see. And though you haven’t found every answer yet, you can take the path step by step; in the chaos, finding grace, in the most unexpected place.” – Morgan Harper Nichols
4. Unite breath with intention: We inhale & embrace peace and trust. We exhale & release unease and fear.
For my bay area friends, I’m teaching tomorrow at 9 AM at the CorePower Rockridge studio with this intention. Happy Friday!!
