I’m so glad you’re writing and I relate to the quandary of Substack and how to find my flow.
I like your mobility reflection and have read a lot by Katy bowman! I really like her principals of stacking movement and just getting outside more.
I just started reading the book For Small Creatures Such as We by Sasha Sagan (daughter of Carl Sagan) about making secular rituals! It’s really sweet and I think you’d love it.
I’m so glad you’re here, reading, and also writing! I actually had Sasha Sagan’s book out of the library a few months ago but didn’t get around to it. Totally forgot about it. Thank you for the reminder! I think her book + some John O’Donohue will be my October reading.
I resonate with your sleep issues. I am the same way. I sleep so lightly and wake up every night typically 2-3 am and that’s it, which I believe is because my cortisol is off (HPA dysfunction). I got a pair of sunset glasses from Ra Optics that I really like, I also wear them for my computer work.
Oh, that does remind me! I’d been wondering if it was cortisol, and an acupuncturist I started seeing just voiced concerned for my adrenals. So this gives me something to work with again. Many thanks! Do you have strategies you’re using to work through this? Also I’ve been on the fence about Ra Optics, so it’s good to hear you like them. Have you had other blue light blocking glasses? I feel like the ones I have from Zenni surely must not be cutting it.
I have tried a variety of herbs for my adrenal fatigue, but nothing has super seemed to help- but slow and steady I will help my body heal (my body didn't get this way overnight, so I can't expect it to heal overnight). I have tried cheap blue light blocking glasses- but these are first that I have gotten (rec from functional dr) that I think are substantially better.
I just got up off my floor cushions from my morning meditation time and thought about how you are making that change in your life - I'm very intrigued, I will have to look into that more. I like to sit with my spine against the wall and be mindful of sitting up straight - I enjoy that a lot.

Perfect combo!
