As we step into a new quarter, it’s the perfect time to hit pause and reflect on the first three months of the year. How has your journey been so far? Have you made time to prioritize rest, self-care, and reflection amidst life’s busy demands?
If you’ve been participating in the 40-day rest and meditation challenge, now is the moment to assess what’s been working for you and what can be refined. True rest isn’t about mindless distractions; it’s a radical act of pausing, downloading, and allowing your body and mind to regenerate. By embracing moments of stillness, you’re making space for fresh ideas and new beginnings.
Q1 Reflection: A Time for Introspection
In a world that’s constantly moving, it’s essential to create space to reflect. Take a few moments for yourself and ask these questions:
What practices worked well for you in January, February, and March?
Which morning or evening rituals helped you feel grounded and centered?
Is there anything that didn’t work and needs to be changed?
What can you carry forward into Q2 to stay inspired and balanced?
I encourage you to grab your journal and answer these questions. You don’t need a fancy journal—just start writing and let these reflections guide you towards clarity. If you’re looking for a structured way to deepen this practice, consider using my Divine Gratitude Journal—a beautiful tool to help you cultivate gratitude, mindfulness, and intentionality each day.
A Gentle Reminder About the 40-Day Challenge
If you haven’t yet committed to our daily 11-minute yoga practice, or if life has gotten in the way, now is the time to dive back in. This is the last month of the challenge, so let’s make the most of it before spring officially arrives. Even if it’s just 11 minutes a day, these simple poses will help reset your nervous system and provide deep relaxation.
The Three Poses for Your Practice:
Wide Leg Forward Bend (Prasarita Padottanasana)
Reclining Bound Angle Pose (Supta Baddha Konasana)
Restful Savasana
The Perfect Pose for Spring: Downward-Facing Dog
Downward-Facing Dog (Adho Mukha Svanasana) is one of the most restorative poses in yoga. It’s not just about the physical stretch—it’s a full-body refresh. This pose stimulates the brain, promotes detoxification through its natural inversion, and helps with lymphatic flow. The real magic happens when you engage your hands and feet, lift your hips high, and allow your breath to guide you into this rejuvenating pose.
I invite you to make this pose part of your personal spring renewal. It’s a grounding practice that connects you to the present moment while preparing you to move forward.

In today’s fast-paced world, taking time for yourself is often the first thing to fall by the wayside. But what if resting wasn’t something you had to “fit in” but a non-negotiable part of your life?

Final Thoughts: Moving Into Spring with Purpose
Your commitment to nurturing yourself is inspiring. Every moment of intentional rest that you embrace allows your body to regenerate and your mind to reset.

Embrace the practices that support your well-being, and keep making space for rest.
