Push Yourself

I am feeling so excited to share that today I completed a self-created 31 day yoga challenge!

I love that January brings an opportunity to set fresh intentions for the year ahead. As a devote yogi I committed each day of this month to my practice. I was not entirely certain of how I would make it through these infrared heated power-core intensity classes, but knew that I would. I am so proud that I held myself accountable for reaching this goal.

I'm going to take some days off, celebrate a little and focus on what my next challenge will be.

How are you pushing yourself in life?

Your Time

I haven't created a post in a couple of days and today, coincidentally, I'm here writing about creating time.

No matter how busy each day gets I always take the time for mindful mediatation. It is usually in the mornings, before bed or anytime I hit the yoga mat.

I like to spend the first 10 to 15 minutes of my day in silence, reinforcing the love and grattiude that I would like to carry with me throughout the day. For me, the silent reinforcement of these principles is the best way to start the morning.

This quote from my girl Gabby made me laugh out loud. Enjoy :)

A strong woman

I loved this saying when I came across it because I believe it is important to do all of these things (including a couple more) to be a strong woman.

Never give up, never be defeated, do not feed your fears, forgive yourself (and others). Your life is a series of happenings shaping exactly who you are meant to be, flow with life as a strong woman. 

It's always right now

I saw a great movie yesterday about life, Boyhood. Without providing any spoilers one of my favourite moments from the movie was a statement about how "moments are constant, it is always right now".

I always appreciate a reminder to live in the present moment, to give presence and make the most of each day, you never really know when it will be your last.

Stick with love

Today marks a national holiday for a man with a vision, with a dream. A man who's vision transformed an entire nation. Martin Luther King made a decision, he choose to see love about all.

We all hold the power within us to make a difference in the world.

Today welcome the voice of love to come forward and lead you to a happier state of mind so that you can bring more light into the world.

Working Miracles

Today I am entering into week six of Gabrielle Bernstein's May Cause Miracles, its a bittersweet feeling as it has caused so many shifts in my life, but at the same time I don't want it to be over (really though, I think that it is just beginning) :-) !!!

Week six is all about being a miracle worker. Believing that only love is real. The five weeks leading up to this have been a journey of guidance back to this powerful belief system. Only love is real. 

Here are some highlights in Gabby's words in preparation for entering into week six.

"Being a miracle worker isn't just about letting go of negative beliefs and becoming happy: there is much, much more. Being a miracle worker is a practice of personal growth that leads to worldly transformation.

The spiritual connection that you have ignited is the greatest power that you have to offer. Miracle workers are people who choose to turn their pain into their purpose of spreading love and transformation.  Each time a person chooses love over fear, that person becomes a bridge for the others who choose to follow in that path.

Do not judge your past; rather, honor the path you've taken and accept that it's been your learning device to get to where you are (shout out to KD, a big loving shout out to you!)."

I had an amazing moment of synchronicity, or as Oprah would call it, an "Ah Ha Moment", in reading Gabby's words. I personally, am working on healing my mind so that I can have a greater effect on the world. Having a greater effect on the world is a very big part of what I aim to achieve in my time on this beautiful earth. 

How do you want to spread love and transformation in the world?

Being in Love

Believe in the importance of being your source of happiness!
