Stay warm, friends. Namastay in the hot studio and get bendy.

Number one goal for this week: to not freeze my butt off. 🍑❄️ NJ is ridiculously cold & dreary this week and we’re at that point where your fingers and toes are just perpetually frozen at all times… so you’ll find me in the hot studio as much as possible🔥 photo: @johndifolco outfit: @strut_this

The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man. – Euripides

“The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.”- Euripides 💕 After working hard these past few weeks for @ibm, looking back on this photo from the summer gets me excited for the time I need to reset and recharge. Excited for no agenda but running, yoga, and sleep. Knowing when and how we need to refill our own energy is how we can re-balance after times of stress or fatigue. Especially after trade shows where there is…so, much, stimulation 🤖 👾

Strength is not measured by how many hardships we’ve endured. Pain is not a necessary component of being worthy or worthwhile. Life doesn’t have to be a struggle.
What matters is how we rise after a fall. – Eleonora Zampatti

Do you have the courage to share your story?

today’s #sundaysoulday blog post is up and the link is right in the bio ✨ it starts with a question: do you have the courage to share your story? i didn’t for so long and with the new episode from the @selfsoulsport podcast, i shared it all. depression, suicide, and hospitalization are just a few 💥 it wasn’t easy, it never is easy to share my story, but today’s post is a prompt of questions you can ask yourself, how i have found the answers (still figuring it out), and even highlights two IG messages that warmed my heart after the release of my story shared in the @selfsoulsport podcast (available in @itunes *shameless plug* 🔌😜) BUT YUS!! let’s cultivate the courage we need, let’s fight stigmas, and let’s build relationships along the way 🎉 click on the link and tell me what yah think ✨ #selfsoulsport {📸 @dianadaviscreative}
