#75hardchallenge Some days, you get #75hard and some days it gets you. Completed the day but really feeling the wear and tear - it’s a #mind game but the #body is feeling it too! ... This is the exact #challenge that was need for this moment in time, however, and the #focus right now is to do just that: keep the #mind #focused #NewParadigm #mindfulmasculinity #huMENity

#75hardchallenge Day 9 It’s not all about moving the #body, it’s also about moving the #mind - in fact, the mind is the primary focus. ... This is also the most enjoyable part of this challenge - 10 pages (or more) with some delicious #mushroom #coffee, and a hot lemon/ginger/honey to get it all going! #newparadigm #mindfulmasculinity #huMENity

#75hardchallenge Day 7 #75hard It’s been a #powerful week moving through this first 7 days. ... Two key lessons: my #mind gets stuck in the mud when I don’t move my #body. Although I was active before, without an intentional exertion each day I wasn’t moving enough #negative energy out of the way. Second thing is that our #breath is not just something we do, it’s much more: an anchor, a foundation and, of course, a #healer. #newparadigm #mindfulmasculinity #huMENity

#Racialized #behavior - I’ve heard so many white people use this to justify everything from what’s happening in schools to what’s happening in prisons. It’s time to let go of the notion that #behavior is linked to the #colour of a person’s skin. #ListeningLearning... #blacklivesmatter #NewParadigm #mindfulmasculinity #huMENity

On the surface, #75hardchallenge might look like a #physical or #fitness challenge. As I move through Day 6, the overwhelming feeling I have is of #clarity and #cleansing - of my body, yes, but mostly of my mind. The past several years, intensified over the past several months, have seen my #world shift and expand, but also get cluttered as I didn’t take the time to integrate what I was moving through and experiencing. ... I kept trying to hit the next goal to demonstrate #success This first week has been additionally blessed by the introduction of @azaya.yoga to my world, and through her videos and posts, have helped me understand the importance of the power of my own #breath as I move through my practice. And this, without ever even having spoken to her and taken part in a class! The point? Alignment doesn’t come from doing more, it comes from doing less, and increasing our #intention and #awareness to whatever it might be. #newparadigm #mindfulmasculinity #huMENity
