...'but the condition does not have any power in itself'. 'Nothing has the power to 'create' stress.' 'By taking responsibility for the consequences of their own perceptions, the observer can transcend the role of victim, to an understanding that "nothing out there has power over you". ... 'It isn't life events, but how one reacts to them and the attitude that one has about them, that determines whether such events have a positive or negative effect on ones's life, whether they're experienced as opportunity or as stress'. ~ David Hawkins, 'Power Vs.

, . Happy New Year everyone! This t-shirt I bought to support @whcwpg... a few years ago has been my 'go to' this past year. Before 2020, it was just the shirt I'd reach for when I'd be having a challenging day. Needless to say, it got worn this year, like alot. Knowing a bit about its designer, @kalbarteski also gives it even more meaning. So when you see me wearing this, worn-with-holes, letters-peeling-off, old shirt, know that my day likely started a bit 'off' and I'm turning it around. May it remind you others struggle too some days, and you aren't alone. May it remind you of your own resilience as you navigate 2021. #feltsenselife #rsgcommunity #neverthelesswepersist #winnipegartist #polarbearartist #winnipegsomatics #winnipegwellness #mentalhealth See more

Interesting article. More and more is becoming known about the vagus nerve. Did you know that the goal of SomaSensing Somatic movement is improved vagal nerve tone through gentle, simple guided movement? I just discovered it 18 months ago. Good timing. Glad I have this to offer.

? There were a few of these signs in the forest and this one seemed to say it all, with the juxtaposition of the chainlink fence and woods catching my eye. Although I'm feeling pretty 'fenced in' (having just recovered from Covid and been released from isolation into our provinces code red lockdown), I'm reminding myself that freedom really, is an inside job. ... , . So over this next month, I'm gonna keep heading to the woods for a reminder. May we all be free.

Fall is my favorite season, by far. Warm, sunny days with cooler crisper bookends. As a 'northern hemispherian', I'm never a fan of the light fading but I do love the colors, the smells and the sounds of leaves under my feet. Pulling out warmer, cozy things to wear... Equinox (that first day of fall) is just around the corner.... ? Share in comments below. #feltsenselife #rsgcommunity See more
