End Of Year Anxiety Relief: Close Out The Year With Joy & Clarity
Dec 18, 2024
Have you ever thought about giving yourself the perfect gift? I’m not talking about a spa day, a new car, or a designer purse. Sure, those things can be nice, but what if I told you there’s something even more powerful—a gift you can give yourself anytime, anywhere, and without spending a dime?
When I first realized this, it hit me like a ton of bricks. I’ve been so caught up in the hustle of life that I’d forgotten to pause and give myself what I truly needed: a moment of grace. Grace to slow down, reflect, and truly connect with myself. Sounds simple, right? But think about it—when was the last time you truly did that for yourself?
This isn’t just about self-care; it’s about self-acknowledgment. Taking time to listen to your inner voice and nurture your inner world. It might be as simple as journaling your thoughts, stepping outside for a quiet walk, or even sitting still for five minutes to breathe deeply. These small but...
Rev It Up 2/3: From Vision to Reality: Morning Routine Strategies for Entrepreneurs
Jul 03, 2024
Why Your Morning Routine Matters
Your morning routine sets the tone for your day. It’s not just about exercise; it’s about charging your activities with intention. Whether you're scrolling through social media or diving straight into work, a lack of intentionality can leave you feeling exhausted and unfulfilled.
The Power of Intention
To make your routine meaningful, it needs to align with your vision for your life. Imagine the version of yourself who has already achieved your goals. How do they move, speak, and feel? By embodying these qualities, you activate a powerful mind-body connection.
The Science Behind Intentional Living
Research in neuroscience and cognitive behavioral therapy supports the idea that you are the creator of your thoughts. By choosing your thoughts intentionally, you can transform your reality. This principle is backed by the law of vibration: matching the frequency of the reality you desire makes it inevitable.
Creating Your Power...

What To Do If You Wake Up Feeling Anxious
Jun 05, 2024
Understanding Morning Anxiety
That dreaded morning anxiety, where you wake up with your heart pounding and mind racing, can feel like the captain of the stress express has taken control. It’s something I’ve battled with and learned to manage. I discovered that this anxiety is often a symptom of a dysregulated nervous system—a signal that your body needs care.
Recognizing Anxiety as a Signal
Instead of viewing anxiety as a problem, recognize it as a message from your nervous system. This shift in perspective helps you address the root cause rather than just the symptoms. Anxiety often whispers to us through physical sensations. We can address the underlying issues by tuning into these subtle signals before they escalate.
Tools to Manage Anxiety
Here are some practical steps to manage morning anxiety:
-
Shift Your Language: Instead of saying "I am anxious," say "I am feeling anxious." This small change creates a separation between your identity and feelings, allowing...
Try This Take Your Affirmations To The Next Level!
May 31, 2024
What's a Power Statement anyway and what's your brain got to do with it?
I AM…..considered 2 of the most powerful words in the English language, for it is said that what follows them becomes your destiny.
Powerful isn’t it? And here’s the interesting thing: there’s actually SCIENCE behind this...which I will get into a second.
First, I want to take a second to describe how we use these words in setting our intention for each practice. The Yogic word for this sankalpa is a Sanskrit word that means a vow to the highest truth.
By setting a sankalpa for each practice that aligns with an essential quality, you are connecting to these powerful truths within yourself.
Which is exactly why I call them your Power Statements! These can be whatever you want based on your goals, vision, and how you want to feel each day.
They just need to be uplifting, inspiring, and empowering to you!!

Stop The Slouch: 5 Sneaky Ways Weak Posture Is Stealing Your Vitality
May 15, 2024
The Importance of Having a Proper Posture
In our fast-paced, digital age, we often find ourselves glued to our screens for hours on end. Whether working at a desk, scrolling through our phones, or even just sitting back and relaxing, it’s easy to neglect our posture. But good posture is about more than just looking confident or standing tall—it plays a significant role in our overall health and well-being. Here's why maintaining proper posture is so important:
1. Reduces Risk of Pain and Injury Poor posture can lead to chronic pain, particularly in the back, neck, and shoulders. Misalignment can place unnecessary stress on the spine and muscles, increasing the risk of strains and injuries. Maintaining a neutral spine and sitting or standing properly can prevent these issues.
2. Improves Breathing and Circulation When you stand or sit up straight, your lungs and diaphragm have more room to expand, allowing you to take in more oxygen with each breath. Improved circulation...
Embracing Your Magic: Tools For Self Love From A Peacock
May 15, 2024
In nature, few sights are as captivating as the vibrant display of a peacock's feathers. This majestic bird is known for its extravagant tail, adorned with an array of dazzling colors that captivate onlookers and leave a lasting impression. But beyond its aesthetic appeal, the peacock's display holds a profound lesson for us about self-love and acceptance.
The Beauty of Being Bold
The peacock's tail is a celebration of boldness. Each feather is a burst of brilliant blues, greens, and golds that shimmer in the sunlight. Similarly, self-love involves embracing our true colors and shining confidently in our uniqueness. When we allow ourselves to be seen for who we are, without fear or reservation, we radiate an inner light that attracts positivity and admiration.
Recognizing Intrinsic Worth
The peacock's vibrant display is not only a show of beauty but also a symbol of its intrinsic worth. The bird knows its value and showcases its splendor without hesitation. In the same way, self-love...
Why Is It So Hard to Celebrate Yourself?
May 15, 2024
The Challenge of Celebrating Yourself: Navigating the Path to Self-Acknowledgment
In a world that often celebrates achievements and milestones, it seems paradoxical that many struggle with the simple act of celebrating themselves. Yet, the truth is, self-celebration can be one of the most challenging endeavors we undertake. Why is it so difficult to pat ourselves on the back and revel in our own successes?
Firstly, societal norms play a significant role. We're often taught humility from a young age, which can sometimes translate into downplaying our accomplishments. We fear being seen as boastful or arrogant if we openly acknowledge our triumphs. This cultural conditioning can lead to a reluctance to shine a spotlight on ourselves, even when we've worked hard and achieved something meaningful.
Moreover, self-doubt and imposter syndrome frequently rear their heads. Despite external validation or tangible evidence of success, we may still harbor inner doubts about our abilities and...
