lean into the spring... seriously!

you need to take this poll

In partnership with

I hope you are having a delightful spring day if you’re up on the springy northern half of the globe, and a great fall on the southern side.

Here in California, spring is in full force except at the highest elevations, but even those high areas show some very nice promise for May, June, and July.

There is surely a lot of opportunity for awesomeness awaiting us. :)

And we all need to lean into it pretty hard. Here’s a video I made a few years back with a great vision: https://www.facebook.com/eatlikeabearsite/videos/512042930451178

Get out in the spring with INTENTION

(that’s my own self talk!!!)

In that video above, I am sure hitting that spring time energy, but this season as I continue through my SLOG of recovery from my head injury, I find that I need to work actively on keeping my springtime “energy” on point.

I need to purposefully get out there and look at the fresh green leaves on the trees and the blooming flowers and let them fill me up. We always need to lean into these things, but when times are more complicated, we need to lean into the MORE, not less.

And being real….

How are you doing with this???

Let’s try a poll… (let’s see if I can figure out how to make a poll….)

Read all of the responses EXTRA CAREFULLY in the poll below. Give your most accurate answer for science and all. (I wonder if you can see the results after you answer. Give it a try…)

Did I miss some options???

Okay, so for all of us — if it’s a good day for you today, get out and lean in. If it’s a bad day for you today, get out and lean in more.

We got this!!

P.S. Again. If you've missed it, get a whole bunch of soup recipes in the book Half My Size with the Ridiculously Big Skillet, available (finally!) at Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/Like-Bear-Half-Ridiculously-Skillet/dp/1934712221/
