A ritual for the last day of each month: give up something that dragged you down this past month. It can be small or large, material or energetic. Incorporated into Thursday’s challenge:
5 sun salutations, being present for each one, but letting your mind drift wherever it might like to drift around the question, “What’s dragged me down in March”?
Lunge steps for however long it takes for you to figure out the thing/person/habit/unfinished business/undealt with mess that was a drag on your joy this past month. Keep lunging until you can articulate what it is you’re going to give up. It need not be forever – you can decide to just give [the whatever] up for a week or a month.
20 jumping jacks to shake [the whatever] loose.
30 second inversion to let [the whatever] fall away.
40 mountain climbers each leg to drive [the whatever] out.
50 foot (not yards!) bear crawl to power yourself away from [the whatever]
40 mountain climbers each leg with the heightened energy you anticipate having
30 second inversion to test out your new view on things without [the whatever ]
20 jumping jacks to express how great it will feel with [the whatever] gone
10 lunge steps each leg with your head and chest up high
1 sun salutation to say hallelujah [the whatever] is about to get gone.
Let us know in the comments that you completed the challenge for 1 point. An extra point for your team if you share [the whatever].

Done. Lately I’ve been dragged down by laziness. Laziness is the root of incompletion for me. So today I let that shit go. Bye!

Done–getting rid of feeling bad for my response when I get triggered, so I can move better through those moments.

Done. I’m giving up on stressing out about my future and focusing on enjoying the present.

Whooo–them mountain climbers get the heart a-thumping.
Giving up that metaphorical mirror that fusses at me for not being a better mother.

Done! I’ve been holding onto a lot of negative energy toward certain people from my past this month, so I’m letting that go. I feel better already 🙂

Trying to let go of a big goopy ball of negative energy and anger that’s really been dragging me down. Not sure how to detach that energy from me, tbh.

This was right on time-done and gladly letting go of the urge to choke this misogynistic, racist, smelly white boy I have to work next month who’s said behaviors are only intensified because he’s intimidated by me. Wooooo saaaaah!!! ❤
