Transcript
- Sarahn Sankofa: Hello, beautiful people. Today is September the 30th. That's right. We made it to the last day of September. Look at that. Another month. Another month down. Wow. This ninth month of this beautiful year is now coming to an end. Our theme for this month is nourish yourself. And our quote was Joy is not a luxury. It's a lifeline, and that's by Brene Brown. What we're doing this month while nourishing ourselves is taking time to restore, be gentle, and tend to ourselves. We're feeding our body, minds, and spirits with what sustains us and saying no to what drains us. on this last day of September. The calendar challenge is to take a break every hour just to breathe. Yes. Mm-mm-mm. Now, don't get me wrong, you're always breathing, right? But when you set aside time to breathe, to focus on nothing at all but your breath, you are reminded how powerful that life source inside of you is. When you just close your eyes for 60 seconds and say, Let me take three nice long deep breaths. Every hour. Just imagine how you're constantly grounding yourself and bringing yourself back to the beautiful present moment that has all this joy filled with it. We appreciate our breath, and with the breath, we appreciate the life that our breath gives us. We appreciate the times that our breath sustained us when we forgot to say thank you, when we ignored it, or when we stopped breathing because we felt anxious or tense or confused or hurt or sad or angry. And all we had to do was take that first deep breath to bring us back to the present, to bring us back to the reality that no matter what we are going through, no matter what we are feeling, no matter what we have and don't have, we have our breath. And our breath is here to guide us to and through our joy. Just enough is more than enough. I'll see y'all in October, Saran says.
