Dear Reader,

​

Pre-Breakfast Breakfast... How is that HSP friendly?

Remember, you were born to be the emotional and spiritual leader, the priestly advisor or the shaman. You awaken to discover a hot drink on your doorstep. You wander to the kitchen and find a luxurious spread of nourishing food and a hot drink refill table, but it's not time for breakfast yet, you are just on your way to a morning meditation, stretch, yoga, hike, or a sit in the garden...

When you are practicing emotional leadership and engaged spirituality, you do well to remain in a place of tender, loving self-care. Your journey of cleansing and clarifying continues as a caring and loving crew of happy people attend to your every need, even the ones you haven't yet identified.

Where are you finding beauty and that kind of loving care in your daily life? If you are a high achieving HSP, you have found snippets here and there, but in truth, the outside world wears you down. How can it not? It's designed by and for the majority who are not on the deep life path you embrace.

That is why you need rest, retreat, community, cleansing, and restoring. What is one tiny incredibly loving practice you offer yourself regularly? Perhaps it is aspirational, that's cool. Those aspirations only need a tiny boost to become realities.

That is the AYHS curriculum for spring. Let's just call it Pre-Breakfast Breakfast... That radically loving small action that you didn't even know would make you feel loved. I can't wait to hear your answers. (April schedule below.)

WIth TLC,

Alane
