Practices for renewal

Simple ways to return to yourself throughout the day, drawn from mindfulness, self-compassion, and the ancient wisdom of yoga.

A moment of renewal

01

Notice the pattern

See urgency, perfectionism, and overfunctioning more clearly before they set the pace. Pay attention to your capacity, learn your personal signals of pre-burnout, and kindly and firmly set boundaries to protect the rare and precious resource that you are.

02

Return to the body

Respect your body’s limits and cultivate greater capacity by using breath, movement, and rest to come back to yourself throughout the day.

03

Keep it small

Short times, many times. Build micro self-care rituals into ordinary mornings and tired afternoons.

04

Stay connected

We heal together. Avail yourself of honest support among people who understand the complexities of this work.

Stay in the conversation.

Occasional reflections, new writing, and invitations to connect. A little support for the person behind the work.
