STOP. QUIT THE HUSTLE.

A little awareness at a time.

Sick and tired of being sick and tired? I can help.

I’m gonna tell you something that may seem like the opposite of everything you’ve heard about being successful: you need to slow down. You’ve tried “self-care” but facials and bubble baths (as yummy as they are) aren’t helping you with your overall feeling of being overwhelmed. You’re burnt out, right? Stretched too thin? Just freakin’ exhausted?

I get it. I’m Suset Laboy, and I am a Women’s Empowerment Advisor and the founder of A Little Awareness. I work with ambitious women whose enthusiasm has led them to success, but also burnout. And I can help you get a little awareness into how to find a better balance in your life.

BUSY is a 4-letter Word

Black Lives Matter. Hard stop.

In solidarity with my Black and Brown brothers and sisters (literal, chosen, symbolic), I am muting my account from June 1st to the 7th.

This does not mean that I will be silent. This means that I will continue to learn and listen and support and be a partner in anti-racism by amplifying the voices and sharing resources from our Black community.

And because I want those resources to be available and accessible to all, I also will be using hashtags that do not wipe vital information we all need right now. Please swipe for more on that.

To whomever needs to hear this right now: I see you. I acknowledge your pain. You are worthy simply because you are. I love you.

First and foremost—this is a post honoring the life of George Floyd who, as CNN recently shared, “Moved to Minnesota to be his best self.” He was loved and he was love, and just by virtue of existing he was, he is divine. Nothing else to do, nothing else to add. This dharma talk within a dharma talk is dedicated to him.

I’ve gone back and forth for days on whether this was the space to publish something like this. I first posted a version of this post on my personal page, but something keeps nagging me to take a public stance. Many have written more beautifully and eloquently on the matter and I encourage you to check them out.

But here are my two cents.

Bear with me as I work this out on the page. “How do you give a dharma talk without sounding preachy?” Someone in the yoga community recently posed this question, and I am grateful for the question because it has led me to think long and hard about our role of spiritual practices and specifically the space of wellness and yoga in advocating and acting towards social justice.

First things first, a simple Google search reveals that “to preach” has a beautiful meaning beyond delivering a sermon in a biblical sense. It can also mean to “advocate earnestly”; “to bring, put, or affect by preaching.” So in many ways, there’s no way to deliver a dharma talk without being preachy, because the essence of both is to move others, so that we may all live with the knowledge, the sense, the feeling (as Dr. Douglas Brooks puts it), “that the world has spiritual value.” And without equity such a thing does not exist.

And if that is the point of dharma, if that is the point of yoga, then advocating for social justice is essential to our practice. As Thich Nhat Hanh has shared, “ The way we are with each other is a Dharma talk. The way we walk and breathe is a Dharma talk…” Standing for social justice and the rights of others is a dharma talk.

I am so honored to get to spend some time with @ethelsclub’s members. Ethel’s Club is going amazing work to hold space (literally and symbolically, and now digitally) for people of color to thrive. This has been a dream of mine and I am excited that it is coming true this coming Wednesday.

If you are unfamiliar with this platform's work, run, don't walk to check them out and support them fully.

What I am sharing exclusively with their members is a workshop that is close and dear to my heart, that emerged from the moment we are living.

Here's the description: #WFH is the new and latest trend in a world that glorifies and favors productivity and production over wellbeing. While we need to do much work to dismantle the structures that equate work with worth, we also need immediate tools to care for ourselves even if a little bit at a time. In EFF #WFH, participants will get to take a little pause; practice movement (asana), breath work and mind work. In the end, attendees will walk away with tangible tools they can take daily to address the exhaust and overwhelm that may come with #WFH, helping them drop into self-care, ease, and flow.

FRIDAY REMINDER: Remember that lions pounce when

FRIDAY REMINDER:

Remember that lions pounce when they have to and sleep the rest of the time.

And they are the Kings and Queens of the jungle.
In other words, the do when they have to and they don't when they don't have to.

As you enter the weekend, make this simple whisper a mantra Rest Like a Lion.

The rest (literally) will follow.
