I've really been missing my yoga practice recently (it's been a hot fucking minute since I've been on my mat) so who better to inspire you to return home to yourself than... yourself?
A friend of mine is letting me crash at their apartment while they're away for a few weeks and I'm so excited to not only have a flushing toilet but to return to my naked yoga practice! But you know what I'm most excited about? To spend some time alone π«ΆπΌ
Feeling thankful for past versions of myself putting in the hard work. It felt like walking through mud at the time, but it allows me to breath a little easier today π«ΆπΌ
I embarked on this journey of 'reclaiming my femininity' a few years ago and I quote those words because what that meant to me then has been flipped 180 to what it means to me now.
I think the feminist movement has made women believe that their femininity has been taken away from them, that its something that they NEED to fight for and reclaim as their own. When that may be true for some, for others, like myself, my femininity was never taken away from me, i just didnt know how to access it because I didn't actually know what it meant.
What does it mean to step into my feminine?
The Feminine vs masculine energy took hold of the internet for a hot minute but I personally think it was a load of shit, especially when gender came into the conversation.
So when I think about reconnecting with my femininity, what I actually see it as is reconnecting with my BODY. To build the bridge between my body and mind. To feel instead of think, to listen instead of do.
To come home to myself and let my body do the talking. What does it need? What does it want?
This will change over time but once you open up the channel of communication, it becomes so much easier to listen πΆ
When a message request from Nude Yoga Girl popped up, I didn't believe it., I thought this has to be a fake account...Β
But to my absolute surprise, IT WAS LEGIT! OMFG (fangirl moment). I had been following the infamous Nude Yoga Girl for years, she was my inspiration to first step onto my mat naked.Β
She was my permission.
She was my courage.Β
She was my idol, and she wanted to collab with me!Β
Here are the collection of photos I took for NudaMag 2022 edition
I haven't been doing too well lately, physically or mentally π« And while every part of my body is screaming for rest to allow me to recover from my cold, my adhd is currently turned up to the max setting and I am literally running around like a headless chook π π But on a positive note, I'm starting therapy again and I'm actually super excited about it! Cheers to recognising when we need to seek help πΈ
YOU are the reason I show up on this platform.Β YOU are the reason I share my vulnerabilities. YOU are the reason I strive to bring you bigger & better content.Β As much as I try, I will never be able to share just one ONE THING. 'Niche down' they say, but fuck that! I'm so much more than one thing... I want to share it all! All of my late-night thoughts, feelings, and experiences as I move through this crazy thing called life π«
So tell me what you want to see more of this month π P.s my prices will be increasing soon but if you're a current member, your membership will remain the same π
And she's back online baby! π₯³ I wish I could tell you that my weekend was filled with naked sunbathing and long walks along the beach, but no. It was spent hiking through the thickest shrubs of my life, breathing in copious amounts of dust and climbing big ass mountains! But I wouldn't have it any other way π«
Move and keep moving. Don't put a label on it, don't restrict yourself. Let your body dance in weird ways, let your arms twirl and your knees bounce. Let your body lead you into unmarked territory, to places in your mind that you've never been. Where does your body want to go? This way and that... let your hips speak up, follow your finger tips. Now close down your eyes, listen to your heartbeat. It's beating for you π
I was asked the question on my Sunroom if I was the jealous type in a relationship...? You can bet I had some unconventional thoughts on this! I don't usually share my Q&As across my platforms but this was too good not to share π±
Good morning π Life is still riding me, rodeo style which isnβt as fun as it sounds but we're getting through one day at a time.
We're about to sell our 2nd car which is a HUGE weight taken off my shoulders and some extra cash in the bank. Once that's ticked that off the list then all that's left to do is: Renew my drivers license, renew my passport, book the dentist, see the doctor, alter my bridesmaides dress, book my flights overseas anddddddddd find a second job.
Yeah so just a little stressy Jessieβ¦
Iβm posting photos of a less stressful time to try and trick myself into thinking Iβm super relaxed and everythingβs fine π
Time alone has always been super important to me π This morning I cancelled all my plans and I even kicked Anna out of the van and told her to go and work at a Cafe π I was way overdue for a coffee date with myself βοΈ
My Patreon OG subscribers would remember this... MY NAKED ROADTRIP from Sydney all the way up to Hideaway Bay in QLD π΄ If you would like to read the blog about my travels send me a dm and I'll email it to you! (It's waaaay too long to post here π) It was even shared by H&E Naturist MAG!
You know when you know you need something, every cell in your body is craving it, you know exactly how to achieve it... yet you avoid it?
Even my love language is avoident π
I arrived home from Tasmania a little over 2 weeks ago and I feel like I've been thrown in a washing machine set to tumble dry. I dont think ive had a moment alone since we touched down to main land.
I get overwhelmed easily and with time and self awarness I have discovered that all I need to recharge is time in solitude, but have i done that? NOPE! Ive been pushing through telling myself that i will worry about myself later, that ive got shit to do, events to plan and errends to be run. But self care waits for no one. Did i also mention that I tried to throw going on a date with someone that i met in a bar into the mix? (Anna and are non-monogamous) Spoiler alert... bailed on the date and layed in bed with a jar of nutella instead π
Anyway, this morning i finally got my fix of nature if only for a moment (ive got a very big weekend coming up) with a slightly more clear head ive also decided its finally time to attempt to fix my gut health issues that ive been avoiding.... well, my entire life (yup, avoident) So today is the first day of my new FOD map diet. No dairy, garlic, onion, apple, seeds, sugars.
Errands day means driving my home around with me everywhere I go π€ͺ My to-do list has been concerningly long since I touched down from Tasmainia and just seems to be getting longer... so I thought I'd bring you along with me! (The Alanis Morriset concert is just a bonus) π₯³
Get ready with me to go to a hens night π₯³(gym bathroom edition π€ͺ)
I don't have a bathroom (or even a mirror!) In my van so no matter the occasion, it's off to my local gym to get ready for my night. I honestly love the process of glamming up π
How fucking beautiful is it that we can be whoever the hell we want. That we can listen to a particular style of music and dress the complete opposite way. That we can be attracted to a particular gender yet find true love with another. That we can spend our lives carrying pain within our hearts and then one day, suddenly let go. That we can change our minds infinite times, and still continue to grow.
I've learnt alot of life changing lessons these past few years, and one of those that hit the hardest is; it's okay to change your mind about things you thought you never would.
Secrets of adulthood I'm calling them. Here's what else I learnt:
- > People don't notice your mistakes as much as you think they do
- > You're going to be shit when you first begin. Keep practicing
- > Romcoms aren't reality
- > If you run out of underwear, just turn them inside out
- > Therapy is worth it
- > Crying actually feels good
- > Not every day is going to be a good day
- > Soap and water remove most stains
- > Strangers are just as nervous as you are
Share your secrets to adulthood to adulthood with me ππΌ
