The Mainstays IRL Vol. 1

LYW Mainstays | We all need a practice or three (or four, or 10, or twenty) that settle us down and into our essential selves. The Mainstays Philosophy gives you the foundation for the practice of living your well. It’s backed up by ancient wisdom, modern science and, most importantly, your own lived experience. It’s meant to be crafted by you, your hopes, needs and wishes—today & forever after.

Here’s what it looks like for me today:
Movement. An afternoon walk in the warm woods. 
Rest. One long meditation, nap with my partner. 
Nourishment. Homemade cocoa with marshmallows before lunch, an early dinner inspired by my mother’s homeland. 
Nature. Breathing in the scents of the woods, Taking off my shoes to feel the earth beneath.
Relationships. Telling jokes with my kids, playing tag, calling my mom. Intimacy with my partner.
Spirit. A prayer for womxn, heart-to-heart talk with my partner on what’s next for us. 
Expression. Decorating for Halloween, conjuring the witch.

I offer this foundation to you, dear. May it help you find your ground. #liveyourwell
