If change is constant, then why is it so difficult to accept?
It seems like in our modern day, change is happening at extraordinary rates and hardly giving us time to take a deep breath. This can lead to feelings of frustration, anxiety, being overwhelmed, and even full-on burnout.
We both have young children and we are constantly questioning if we're making the best decisions on their behalves. Are they safe and being taken care of? Are they eating food that supports their growth? Are they trying enough new things? Are they committed to what we've already signed up for? Are we pushing them too hard? Are we not pushing them enough?
Am I even able to provide them with what they need, or am I just too damn tired?
There's no wonder that we've felt an uptick of stress-related symptoms like having trouble sleeping, craving unhealthy food/drinks, and large mood swings, (to name a few). We are so busy adjusting to their forever changing needs that we feel like we don't have time to go for a walk, meditate, exercise, or whatever healthy outlet we like to do.
We've learned that when our negative reel says: "I don't have time for that," it usually means "I need to make time for that." It's easy to get swept down a river of productivity without considering how it will negatively impact our body, mind, and soul.
So we invite you to step out of the river and onto the banks to rest, recharge, and gain a different perspective. We've found that mindfulness practices and physical exercise has helped us step away from the constant churning in our minds. Because it's only in the calmness that we've been able to receive clarity and find resolutions despite living in our hectic and highly productive lives.
Come join us (yes we take the classes too), in our ming+ming weekly classes where you can find the pause and rest you need to keep up with this fast paced and forever changing world!
With love,
Ming-Wai + Ming-Cee
