Boo yah! Just a play run not a full workout but this will do. Nor was it the optimum weight selection but in a small gym with New Year resolutioners you what you can. Thanks Bret! @bretcontreras1 (at Albuquerque, New Mexico)

I’m super excited to try my new BC T-Bell at the gym tomorrow. Going to overload my 🍑 and my legs. My only complaint so far before I’ve used it is that it needs a set of Velcro straps like the ones used with electronic equipment to keep the two pieces together and a bag! (See jerry rigged set up now. Will buy straps and find a bag this weekend as I use a public gym so no leaving this baby!) A simple slip bag with a cinch would work great! Would give Bret a place to advertise too. Just say’n 😁 Thanks @bretcontreras1 I’m sure I will be sore and cursing your name (in a good way😝) (at Albuquerque, New Mexico)

Oh my gosh! If yesterday’s wasn’t enough, now this one. Hell yes, and then some! What a great quote. We are here to learn about ourselves but without sharing that; our pains, histories, loves, losses, our growth, our truths, our love then No relationship can survive. Lean In, y’all. #mindfulness #relationships #selflove #growth #honesty #bearingourtrueselves #leanin #mindfulmft #sorrycouldntgetthewholepost (at Albuquerque, New Mexico)

The practice of tonglen, truly one of my favorites. Taking in the pain of others and breathing out compassion will open you up like no other practice. This is Radical Acceptance for Self and others. Described as breathing in deeply the black soot of another’s pain and breathing back out clean compassion/love. It’s not recommended to use this practice everyday because to take in that much suffering, letting it rock you, let it open you, and then convert it to deep love will task you like no other practice. As a Myers-Briggs, “defender” type-ISFJ, I find this meditation is when I really feel All of me engaged like no other practice does so I will do it more frequently. Give it a try. You may find that you are very uncomfortable with it and are challenged. Or you might find that all of yourself becomes fully present and loving in a way you’ve not explored. It’s easy to find guidance on how to do it, check out any thing by Pema Chodron @anipemachodron one of the practices strongest advocates. Lean In and try it. #tonglen #meditation #leanin #pemachodron #mindfulness #suffering #love #graitude #lovingkindness #radicalacceptance #newmexico #nmtrue (at Albuquerque, New Mexico)

Ooooo! I don’t know what you will be but I’m excited to possibly see what happens come spring. Isn’t this like life? We hold steady in the present with hopes and curiosity for what lay ahead? The point is to stay here, this moment, because it’s the only thing that Is. But I’m totally guilty of wondering and imagining what might possibly be. #mindfulness #presentmoment #mothernature #radicalacceptance #newmexico #nmtrue (at Albuquerque, New Mexico)
