This month I am focusing on finding your inner peace, even when in your kennel. Please read on, for some great tips.

Meditate
I close my eyes, observe the sounds surrounding me, and allow them to be acknowledged and released. I can even do it around cats now! We have lithium in our pools and the guests always come out so relaxed and happy!
Develop love for yourself
Accept being pet, kissed and hugged. I deserve it and so do you! Chose you.
Learn to breath effectively
I practice what I call squirrel breathwork: you find a persnickety squirrel and chase them until you are breathing very fast. I am pretty sure there are many other breathing techniques, but this one works for me.
Be grateful
I like to show my dad how grateful he should be to have me in his life. Just kidding. I love and appreciate him so much! Always show you love them.
Access nature
I find it exciting to want to access nature at 3am. This technique also helps my dad find his inner peace.
Work on acceptance
I accept working every day with dad. I work very hard for my kibble greeting everyone at Joyful Journey!

Make deeper connections
I have a bulldog buddy who loves holding space for me when I need him to do so. He just sits and listens, with patience and understanding.
Practice non judgement
Even though I don’t prefer squirrels, I don’t judge them to be bad. They are so fun to chase!
Visualize a peaceful place
This one is easy! Joyful Journey is so peaceful.
Practice self care
I like to get groomed once in a while, and my nails done. Yes I live in the mountains and love to roll in dirt, but this girl like her spa days.
Work on a positive mindset
My special hearing doggy ears allow me to hear some of the retreats happening here. They have so many amazing ideas to stay positive! You should check them out also!

Live in the present
Sometimes we get into our heads, we daydream, we think and we are not really present. When my friend does that, I simply bark very loud in their ear and they are very present.
