Happy New Moon in Leo! Today’s New Moon in Leo is all about confidence, creativity, and heart-centered action. 

The Thriving Mindfully Academy is using the theme, “Shine Your Light” to guide us during Leo Season (July 22-August 22) and in our New Moon mindful self-care practices. 

I am using the New Moon in Leo to set an intention of shining my light on myself through the relaunch of the Thriving Mindfully Podcast’s Season 5. 

This week I started taking heart-centered action by recording four episodes that are centered around the theme of “Shine Your Light on Yourself.”

My soul sistalove Sue A. Webley, founder of Kara Solutions, invited me to join her for a juicy conversation on her INSPIRE! by Kara podcast about my journey as a creative entrepreneur who wears the hats of Thriving Mindfully Coach, artist, and author.

During the conversation, Sue and I discuss what my life has been like as an entrepreneur and my ongoing healing journey for the past 30 years.

We dive into three concepts I have been writing, speaking, and teaching about in my Thriving Mindfully Academy, training work, and coaching practice this year: INNER WEALTH, SOFT (Slowing down to Offer yourself Freedom Today), and DIGITAL WELLNESS.

I also share how I am navigating my recent diagnosis of COVID-19 and give a shout out to my Sigma Gamma Rho Sorority Sorors and our centennial celebration.

FYI: The conversation starts at the 17.28 mark. Make sure you listen to the entire podcast because Sue gives insight about recent news in the African American community.

While I was at my monthly chiropractor appointment this week, I thought about the conversations I’ve been having with my body over the past 30 years. Those conversations have strengthened my ability to pay attention, listen, and respond to what my body needs at different stages in my adult life.

Over the years, these conversations have helped me slow down and sustain my living with a strong commitment to and practice of mindful self-care.

My mindful self-care includes a vegan lifestyle, daily physical movement, rest and chill.out time, spiritual and creative practices, fun and play time with family and friends, meaningful work that allows me to share my gifts in my wellness company, and monthly massage, acupuncture, and chiropractor visits. All of it helps me express Thriving Mindfully as the REAL ME.

When is the last time you slowed down and tuned into your body?

What is your body trying to tell you?

This month I am helping my Thriving Mindfully Academy members use the Gemini ♊️ season’s energy to tune into themselves (spirt, heart, mind, and body) and invite curiosity into their conversations with self. We’re exploring this practice during our monthly mindful self-care classes on June 12th and 27th.

Embracing the New Moon in Gemini ♊️ energy this month is giving me a chance to celebrate my own personal Moon in Gemini. That’s right I was born with a rising Sun in Sagittarius and a Moon in Gemini.

The New Moon in Gemini is also giving me and my Thriving Mindfully Academy members energetic support for practicing and integrating our monthly theme of “Celebrate Yourself” in our lives, relationships, and careers with curiosity, creativity, deep communication with self, and flexibility.

Self-celebration is a great mindful self-care practice and one of the Thriving Mindfully Academy’s core commitments and Self-Love Languages.

What do you need to celebrate yourself?

What’s 1 thing you can do to celebrate yourself this month?

If you’re getting stuck or finding it difficult to celebrate yourself, know that it’s okay. What’s not okay is you staying stuck and struggling.

Take a deep breath right now and give yourself a hug.

Why?

Because you took a moment to read this post and reflect on self-celebration.

Your deep breath and hug are two things you can celebrate NOW because they are your mindful self-care wins. They helped you nurture yourself. All of it represents WINS that deserve celebration.

Now you may be wondering, how do you celebrate your mindful self-care WINS.

Celebrate with a longer juicy hug.

Smile at yourself in a mirror.

Play and/or move to your favorite song.

Pour yourself a glass or a cup of your favorite beverage.

Wear your favorite color or piece of jewelry.

Cook your favorite meal.

Write yourself a short love note expressing your thoughts about why you are groovy.

Read a page or more from your favorite article or book.

Take a walk down your favorite street.

If you’re into lipstick or lip gloss like me, wear your favorite and take a selfie.

I could go on and on, but will stop here.

Let me know how you are celebrating yourself in the comment section.

Yesterday I went to bed at 10:15 p.m. and got a great night’s sleep. I did the same thing on Friday night. Why? Because I’ve been struggling with my Digital Wellness Month commitment and going without a lot of sleep.

This morning my heart was all about the feeling of being more connected to myself in the present moment. I know getting two nights of sleep helped me feel and think clearer.

While I was walking this morning, I stopped to record a special video message for YOU. Listen here. May it in-power and inspire you to slow down, check-in with yourself, and practice digital wellness.

Over the years, technology has become our BFF and made life and work easier. During the global pandemic, most of us have increased our reliance on and use of technology as we live, study, work, and shop from home.

Many of us (me included) have been glued to our digital devices (smartphones, tablets, laptop and desktop computers, and wearable tech including smart watches, wristbands, pins, rings) for the majority of our day. We’re not aware of how much we are missing out on being present for moments that matter. We’re so plugged in we are suffering from stress, anxiety, and a lack of sleep. Our ability to focus and concentrate for long periods of time has decreased and impacted our productivity. What’s more, we may not even realize our need for digital wellness.

Digital wellness is the use of technology in mindful, intentional, and healthy ways. Go here to learn more about digital wellness and to listen to the Thriving Mindfully Podcast episode.

I launched the Digital Wellness Month through my Thriving Mindfully Academy during the first months of the pandemic in 2020. The purpose of Digital Wellness Month is to encourage and help you practice tech life balance with small steps.

This month Thriving Mindfully Academy members are focused on the theme of “Strengthen Yourself.” They are participating in a self-led Digital Wellness Month challenge to help strengthen their capacity to use technology in a mindful, intentional, and healthy ways.
