Following My Tattoo's Advice

Michael Shinafelt

I got this tattoo 2 years ago to celebrate my 5th decade on the planet. I was in a good place when I got it and it's also very sound advice from me to myself and represented who I am. 

Obviously the tattoo did not give me the advice, I simply wanted it there as a daily reminder. Well a funny thing happened on the way to serenity, I got sidetracked...

I became less mindful of the permanent reminder I had etched on my upper left arm and stopped really looking at it.

Now as they say I am up and running again and take the time every morning before I start my day to really look at it as opposed to being used to it there and not paying it any real attention.

It's not always easy to "Just Let Go" but if you work on it, it gets easier and eventually will become instinctual. 

Speaking of which, I need to hit the mat today, it's time for yoga at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. It's a magical place to "Just Let Go."

Monday Motivation

Sometimes Monday Motivation is right there happening before our eyes, poetry in motion if you will. 

Fall draws nigh and it's all about letting go of things that no longer serve you. In fact I have a tattoo on my upper left arm the says that very thing: Just Let Go. See the trees and I are on the same page.

It's something that I have lost some sight of and am getting back to, it's a very liberating and healthy thing to do.

So let's hit the ground like a tree leaf and let things go on this fine Monday. 

Are you ready???
