It’s Spring. The fire horse year gallops full speed ahead. I am trying my best to harness all the forward motion towards the things my soul truly desires. I’m doing okay at it, I think. I try not to over-exert myself or get stuck in my head. I win some, I lose some.
On the hard days, I grasp at some solution that can make it all better. It so rarely exists. Sometimes, the best I can do is untangle myself from all the mental traps I’ve set and be with myself as I am. Self-compassion doesn’t fix all my problems, but it does stop me from making things worse. Life is hard enough already, why make it harder for myself?
This quarter I’m trying something a little different. Instead of a 1-hour workshop, I’ll be offering a free monthlong email course on Growing Self-Compassion. Each Sunday from June 7th to June 28th, you’ll get an email in your inbox that includes the theme for the week, an experiential activity, and a practice prompt. There will also be 2 live Q&A sessions throughout the month to support your self-practice (dates TBD). These live sessions will not be recorded.
As people get busy, I hope this format offers a more accessible way to continue tending to yourself. Work at your own pace, come back to it when you can. Hope to see you there. Register here.
Take care,
Naomi

Some recent delights:
A couple weeks ago, I spoke on a panel in SF on burnout & redefining success hosted by Asian Inc. It’s so nice to get off Zoom-land and connect with a crowd in-person!
When the sun is out, golden hour at Ocean Beach is exactly where I want to be.
