Now that I’m back to strength training hard, I’m feeling how much lifting heavy asks of my body.

Stretching, foam rolling, and the massage gun have been equally part the workout.

I’m currently nerding out on what actually works for my body, and looking forward to sharing more along the way 😀 by @the_iriselle

This season in the gym keeps surprising me.

I walk in thinking I know my limit and walk out having moved past it.

I’m learning I’m stronger than I think…

In the gym and in and through everything else.

Keep showing up for yourself. You might surprise yourself too 💪🏾🫶🏾

Thank you @multifitness15 for continuing to push me🙏🏾 by @the_iriselle

I do Monday. I don’t let Monday do me.

While the world demands bigger, faster, more, I take my time and let myself be free.

I notice the crisp air and the glimmer of the sun. I breathe in deeply and savor my tea.

I do Monday. I don’t let Monday do me.

Though my to-do list is long and my inbox is full, I create moments of stillness to simply be.

I make time to move my body, to laugh, and to play. I know that conscious awareness is the key.

I do Monday. I don’t let Monday do me. I do Monday. I don’t let Monday do me. I do Monday. I don’t let Monday do me. by @the_iriselle

V serious about our yoga, VV serious about our joy.

This opportunity happens only once a year, so who were we to deny it.

And it was a perfect compliment to our hip opening flow 🤣🧘🏾‍♀️

Meet us next Monday at 6:30pm for a little bit of flow, and a whole lot of fun!

30 DAYS OF FEEDING THE LION 🦁 | DAY 15

Halfway there! And today’s lesson is to pause.

For so many leaders, educators, caregivers, and people in service of others, rest becomes something we think we have to earn.

I’ll rest when this project is finished.
I’ll rest when everyone else is taken care of.
I’ll rest when things slow down.

But what happens when the work never really stops?

🧡THE LESSON: Rest isn’t the reward for doing the work. Rest is part of the work.

Research consistently connects adequate rest and sleep with better emotional regulation, learning, decision-making, and performance. Our bodies and brains need recovery—not just productivity.

That’s why one of our 12 Lion Habits is:

🦁 Habit #11: HONOR REST.

Even lions rest. A lot. 😴

Strength doesn’t require constant movement. Sometimes feeding your lion means giving yourself permission to be still, recover, and trust that the world can keep spinning without you for a moment.

✍🏽 JOURNAL PROMPT:
Where in my life am I treating rest like a reward instead of a requirement?

And what would it look like to honor rest before my body forces me to?

Halfway through these 30 days, maybe the invitation isn’t to do more.

Maybe it’s to pause.

Feed your lion.
Then let your lion rest. 🦁💛
