Be Calm to BeCome

February 6, 2023February 6, 2023 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

My whole life I’ve felt like I had to have a strict inner critic in order to succeed. Like a very determined personal trainer in my brain. From my studies and practices of mindfulness, I’ve learned that this is not the case. In fact, the opposite is true. By breathing deeply and centering myself, I … Continue reading Be Calm to BeCome

Apple Doesn’t Fall From the Tree—She Flies!

February 5, 2023 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Today is the 11th yahrzeit of my grandmother. I was very close with her and I'm eternally grateful for the inner strength and self-love which she helped cultivate within me. My daughter is actually named for her (as well as for my cousin who would also have been quite the matriarch with her strong feminine … Continue reading Apple Doesn’t Fall From the Tree—She Flies!

Body Language

February 3, 2023February 3, 2023 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

This morning I had a lovely idea for a blog post. But I hadn’t done my morning stretches yet and I really wanted to stick to my routine. As I was doing some spine twists, further ideas for a blog post came up. And it reinforced for me that yoga is not hampering my morning … Continue reading Body Language

Fallen Trees

January 31, 2023February 2, 2023 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Got new sneakers a bit dirty in the mud. I used to freak out when new sneakers got dirty. But they are made to be used and I go on nature walks regularly so it was inevitable. Looking at fallen trees, the messiness of this undomesticated nature in the park. There was this sense of … Continue reading Fallen Trees

Empowered Ebullience, Grounded Glee

January 27, 2023 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I’ve had lots of professional projects recently. It can be a lot: all that excitement and anticipation! And then channeling that into properly chunked sessions. At times like this, I try to take a step back and remind myself that I am living the dream of my younger self that aspired to be who I … Continue reading Empowered Ebullience, Grounded Glee

Your Window of Opportunity Awaits

January 19, 2023January 19, 2023 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

This morning, I was opening a window to hear the birds chirp. I thought I had unlocked it. I'm like pulling and pulling. I'm thinking, “Did the humidity cause it to get stuck?” I'm wondering if these windows decided to copy my previous's home’s and be really hard to open. After a moment or so … Continue reading Your Window of Opportunity Awaits

There for One Another

January 7, 2023January 7, 2023 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I once learned that in heaven, we are all feeding each other. Like, our arms are intertwined and I have a spoon in my hand feeding someone next to me and someone on my other side is feeding me. It’s this image/lesson of the opposite of being self-serving. It’s this interdependence. This watching out for … Continue reading There for One Another

New Year’s Resolution of Self-Compassion

January 3, 2023January 3, 2023 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

How is everyone’s new year going? In the Jewish calendar, the Jewish New Year is followed by a few more holidays and the festivities culminate after about a month. And it’s a letdown to get back to “regular” life. Christmas begins this festive time of year for many, continued for some through the 12 days … Continue reading New Year’s Resolution of Self-Compassion

Lessons From A Not-So-Average Hike

December 11, 2022December 11, 2022 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Went for a hike last week. It was great. Except that my car had a sudden issue that I had to solve. I went in for some calm in nature, and arrived to a situation in which my car needed to be serviced. I didn’t get the relaxation I intended, but I got much more: … Continue reading Lessons From A Not-So-Average Hike

UnDo Date

December 2, 2022December 2, 2022 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I’m grateful my daughter wasn’t born on her due date. Because now that date can be a day for me to remember the anticipation and preparation of bringing a new life into the world. The world is pregnant with possibility. We are constantly rebirthing ourselves. And like labor (though quite different!), this process can take … Continue reading UnDo Date
